Rendering Software Engineer in Test

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional experience in software development or quality engineering.
• Working knowledge of core computer graphics concepts, including rasterization, ray tracing, and shading and lighting techniques.
• Fluency in pragmatic C++14 and C++17.
• Proven ability to design, build, and maintain automated testing systems using scripting languages (Python, Groovy, etc.) and databases (e.g., MySQL).
• A curious mindset with an understanding of how rendering systems behave in practice, and the ability to uncover subtle bugs, edge cases, and unintended side effects.
• Excellent debugging, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to self-organize, prioritize, and work effectively in distributed teams across time zones.

Nice to Haves

• Experience with GPU debugging or graphics driver issue tracking.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins.
• Familiarity with OpenUSD.
• Prior work on open-source or commercial rendering systems.

What you'll be doing

• Own and evolve our automated regression and performance testing infrastructure: build, refactor, and maintain it.
• Write and maintain C++ unit, functional and UI tests for our in-house graphical testing application.
• Author and curate test assets (3D scenes, etc.) using Substance tools and DCC applications like Blender, Maya, and Houdini; generate reference outputs and integrate them into our test suite.
• Monitor daily regression and performance runs; investigate failures, file and track issues, and collaborate with engineers to resolve them.
• Collaborate closely with rendering engineers to validate new features and bug fixes through both manual and automated testing.
• Perform targeted manual testing across a range of hardware and GPUs; maintain close contact with hardware vendors to report and track driver or hardware-specific issues.
