Optimize the rendering pipeline and performance across different platforms
Profile and debug graphics bottlenecks (CPU & GPU)
Collaborate with 3D artists, technical artists, and engineers to support higher-quality visuals
Help implement lighting, atmospheric effects, and visual polish that enhance immersion
Unlock visual features (e.g. post-processing, shader effects) without compromising performance
Reduce technical load on other engineers by owning visual tech systems

Requirements

Proven experience working as a graphics or rendering engineer (especially in games)
Strong knowledge of Unreal Engine rendering pipeline (UE5 preferred)
Familiarity with performance profiling tools (RenderDoc, Unreal Insights, etc.)
Solid understanding of graphics APIs (DirectX, Vulkan, or similar)
Comfortable working in a collaborative, fast-paced team environment.

Bonus Skills

Experience with LOD systems, culling, and instancing
Familiarity with Niagara, dynamic lighting, or atmospherics in UE

Prior shipped titles or indie projects a plus

Ideal Candidate

A highly technical problem-solver who can push visual fidelity without sacrificing frame rate
Someone who’s ready to jump in, own systems, and help us deliver a polished player experience.
How to Apply
- Send your resume and portfolio (if applicable).
- The interview process may include a short technical screening and/or performance optimization task.

About DreamWorld

DreamWorld is a next-gen Minecraft with generative AI building. A game and platform for 3D user generated content, DreamWorld is a digital world with one of the largest multiplayer capacities ever developed. Our players grew up on User Generated Content games, but are now 13-40 and have aged out Roblox / Minecraft. DreamWorld provides more powerful building tools, better graphics, and massive social multiplayer.

Here's a video of our current gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa-tgUd4YKo&list=PL0x8zBFe0sRjHB3ddXPLh6g6gTEMNeuDg

Look at the software that has fundamentally changed how people live: Search (Google), Social Networks (Facebook), Ecommerce (Amazon). Now think of what will come in the next 25. One of these monumental shifts will be the pervasiveness of the Digital World, and it is our goal to create it.

We believe this Digital World will rise out of the medium that's had the seeds of it for a while, Gaming. So, we are building a massive Sandbox MMO, with the game focused on User Creation and Socializing. You can think of our initial goal as creating a successor to Minecraft and World of Warcraft.
