Frontend Engineer at StarryNift

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development of WebGL engine frameworks, including architecture design, core functionality implementation, and performance tuning for complex 3D applications.
• Optimize model rendering effects through advanced shader programming, texture mapping, and lighting algorithms to achieve photorealistic visuals.
• Implement memory-efficient rendering pipelines and asynchronous loading techniques to enhance model loading speed and reduce latency.
• Collaborate with UI/UX designers to create intuitive WebGL-based interfaces, ensuring alignment with user experience goals and technical constraints.
• Debug and troubleshoot WebGL applications, resolving rendering artifacts, performance bottlenecks, and compatibility issues across browsers and devices.
• Conduct performance analysis using profiling tools to identify optimization opportunities and implement scalable solutions for large datasets.
• Document technical specifications, API references, and development workflows to support team collaboration and knowledge sharing.
• Stay updated with emerging WebGL technologies, industry trends, and best practices to continuously improve application performance and user engagement.

Job Requirements

• Proven experience (3+ years) in WebGL development, with a strong foundation in 3D graphics programming and OpenGL ES/WebGL2 standards.
• Expertise in JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Vue) and WebGL libraries (e.g., Three.js, Babylon.js) for building interactive web applications.
• Demonstrated ability to optimize rendering performance through techniques like level-of-detail (LOD) management, occlusion culling, and GPU acceleration.
• Proficiency in cross-browser compatibility testing, ensuring WebGL applications function seamlessly on modern browsers and mobile devices.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on performance-critical tasks, including memory management, shader optimization, and resource loading strategies.
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and agile development methodologies for collaborative software development.
• Excellent communication skills to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams, including designers, backend engineers, and product managers.
• Ability to analyze and interpret performance metrics, leveraging tools like Chrome DevTools or WebGL performance analyzers to drive optimization.
• Knowledge of 3D modeling tools (e.g., Blender, Maya) and asset pipelines for integrating 3D content into WebGL applications.
• Preferred: Experience with real-time rendering applications, VR/AR development, or cloud-based WebGL solutions for large-scale projects.
