- Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, 3D math (linear algebra, vector math, quaternions), and physics.
- Deep experience with debugging, memory optimization, multi-threading, and performance profiling.
System Expertise: Hands-on experience developing gameplay systems such as combat mechanics, player controllers, animation trees/IK, physics, or game AI.
Innovation Mindset: Proven track record or active affinity for leveraging emerging AI technologies and automation to optimize workflows and drive technical innovation.
Collaboration & Communication: Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex technical ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical team members.
