Contract Staff Software Engineer - Performance Graphics (C++,Rust, WebGL)

This role focuses on the ongoing engineering and maintenance of a large-scale browser graphics stack covering rendering, compositing, images, canvas, and WebGL.
You will help keep complex graphics systems healthy by resolving bugs, regressions, incoming issues, and test-related challenges.
The position requires diagnosing graphics problems across multiple operating systems and hardware environments.
You will work within a mature, multithreaded codebase where strong debugging, optimization, and technical judgment are essential.
Your contributions will help reduce technical backlog and regressions while improving the reliability of the graphics area.
You will also participate in code reviews and routine engineering work, allowing senior engineers to dedicate more time to performance-focused initiatives.
This is a remote contract opportunity suited to an independent engineer who can take technical ownership in a complex open-source software environment.

• Strong professional experience with C++ and/or Rust.
• Solid understanding of graphics frameworks and GPU architecture.
• Strong debugging and optimization skills, particularly within multithreaded software systems.
• Experience working effectively within large, mature, and complex codebases.
• Ability to independently investigate technical issues, identify root causes, and implement reliable solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to take technical ownership and provide engineering leadership when addressing complex problems.
• Strong code review and software maintenance skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively within distributed and open-source-oriented engineering environments.
• Knowledge of shader languages is preferred.
• Experience with mobile platforms, particularly Android, is an advantage.
• Previous experience contributing to open-source projects is preferred.
