Agile Fuel | World-class Dedicated Engineering Teams is hiring: Senior Graphics

Senior Graphics Engineer – Data Visualization

Our client is building a next-generation visual analytics engine — one that renders hundreds of millions of fast-changing business records into crisp, interactive 2D graphics right in the browser, at 60fps.

We are looking for a Senior Graphics Engineer with deep expertise at the intersection of real-time graphics and data science. You’ll architect and implement a real-time rendering pipeline — from advanced spatial algorithms like Voronoi and clustering to performant, browser-based visualizations that help go-to-market teams make data-driven decisions.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement the end-to-end data processing and rendering pipeline, balancing performance, visualization quality, compatibility with the existing ETL infrastructure, compute cost, engineering complexity, and overall user experience;
• Develop algorithms and methods to accelerate processing, enhance visual quality, and enable novel interaction patterns. Stay current with academic research and apply state-of-the-art techniques to solve challenging technical problems;
• Build research prototypes, validating their feasibility empirically, and productionizing them upon success;
• Document findings and development progress, including what works, what doesn’t, and the reasoning behind technical decisions;
• Build core components of the visualization pipeline, including unit tests and well-documented, developer-friendly APIs to support seamless integration by other engineers;
• Make key decisions on integrating existing libraries or technologies vs building custom versions;
• Communicate trade-offs, limitations, and implications of current and proposed implementations clearly and proactively with the team.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building real-time graphics or data visualization software;
• Deep knowledge of 2D geometry processing and spatial data structures, familiarity with GIS;
• Demonstrated success turning complex data structures involving techniques like Voronoi into interactive, production-grade visuals;
• Experience with clustering and dimensionality reduction algorithms;
• Hands-on experience with graphics APIs like OpenGL, WebGL, WebGPU, or Vulkan;
• Performance-oriented programming languages such as C++ or Rust;
• Familiarity with full-stack web development, ideally with React;
• Strong software engineering craft: design, code reviews, testing, profiling;
• Able to communicate smoothly with product, design, engineering, and data-science teams;
• Familiarity with distributed query engines (DuckDB, ClickHouse) and columnar formats (Parquet) used to serve large datasets;
• Familiarity with workflow management platforms like Airflow or Prefect;
• Self-discipline and high organizational skills to consistently deliver quality work, with little supervision;
• Professional-level written and spoken English.

Bonus points for

• Experience with mapping;
• A research background; PhD or equivalent experience in a relevant field;
• Experience with LLMs;
• Experience with distributed computing;
• An ability to go outside your comfort zone in terms of acquiring new, both technical and interpersonal skills, depending on the constantly evolving team and company needs.

What we offer

• Fully distributed team with flexible, remote-first work culture;
• Minimum 5 weeks of paid time off annually;
• Retirement planning support (401k);
• Generous parental and family leave;
• Comprehensive health insurance plans;
• New equipment and home office stipend;
• Support for personal and professional development outside of work;
• Annual team offsite;
• A diverse, collaborative, and genuinely fun team.
