• Work with and maintain platform-specific code, as necessary
• Communicate with and educate the visual effects content team about features of the effects engine and optimization techniques.
• Adhere to team coding standards and best practices.
• Understand and embrace the constraints of a game development cycle (you know when bug fixing, and optimization become more important than new features.)
