Hybrid (3 Days Onsite, 2 Remote)
We need talented engineers with a strong low level graphics and GPU development background on the Android platform, ideally with experience of working in the consumer electronics industry.
The successful candidate will contribute to new, high-performance graphics solutions, integrate our solutions with new hardware platforms, optimise the Android OS graphics stack, benchmark our systems against competitors, work with 3rd party software developers and generally ensure that we have the best possible 3D graphics experience on the market.
They operate a hybrid working policy of 3 days working from the office and 2 days working from home weekly.
