• Debug and resolve platform-specific performance bottlenecks and compatibility issues
• Collaborate with game designers and artists to translate creative vision into performant technical implementations

What they’re looking for

• Strong C++ skills with production experience building games in Cocos2d-x
• Proven track record shipping cross-platform titles (iOS, Android, plus desktop or console)
• Deep understanding of rendering optimization, memory management, and GPU profiling
• Nice to have: experience with other engines (Unity, Unreal) or custom engine development, shader programming
