Role : Senior WebGL/Three.js Engineer - 3D Graphics
Company : Ctruh
Location : Bangalore
Role Overview :
Were hiring a WebGL/Three.js Engineer who is passionate about 3D rendering and browser-based visual experiences. This is a hands-on WebGL/Three.js role where youll own the rendering pipeline - from 3D asset ingestion to advanced shaders and real-time lighting.
You will build high-performance, photorealistic, and smooth 60fps experiences across devices, crafting custom rendering solutions that push the limits of WebGL.
What Youll Build :
1. 3D Rendering & Visualization:
- Implement advanced rendering : PBR, IBL, shadows, reflections
- Create custom shaders for metals, glass, fabrics, transparency, and complex materials
- Build dynamic lighting systems for photorealism
- Implement AR placement and real-world environmental rendering
- Add post-processing effects : bloom, AO, depth of field, color grading
- Build interactive 3D configurators with real-time customization
2. Performance Optimization:
- Implement LOD systems, shader optimization, and efficient resource usage
- Use compression pipelines : geometry, textures, KTX2/Basis
- Implement frustum & occlusion culling, instancing, and batching
- Profile GPU memory, draw calls, and shader performance
- Build adaptive quality settings based on device capabilities
3. 3D Asset Pipeline & Tools:
- Implement asset optimization : UV mapping, normal maps, texture atlasing
- Create mesh-processing tools : decimation, smoothing, tangents
- Build progressive loading, caching, and streaming systems
- Develop debugging and visualization tools for asset inspection
4. Interactive Controls & UI Features:
- Build gestures for mobile : pinch, rotate, drag
- Create 360 product viewers with fluid interactions
- Add hotspots, annotations, measurement tools, and view presets
- Enable screenshot and recording functionalities
5. WebXR & AR Experiences:
- Build AR Quick Look integration for iOS
- Integrate AR.js / 8th Wall for seamless web AR
- Implement environment lighting estimation and hit testing
- Build cross-platform AR for iOS + Android
6. Graphics Systems Architecture:
- Build material/shader libraries and rendering modules
- Create scene graph management systems
- Build modular systems with reusable rendering utilities
- Design APIs for frontend integration and customization
Technical Stack :
1. Graphics & Rendering :
- 3D formats : glTF 2.0, USDZ, OBJ, FBX, Collada
- Tools : Blender, RenderDoc, Spector.js
- Texture tools : Sharp, ImageMagick, compression utilities
2. Frontend & Web :
- React, Next.js, familiarity with Vue
- Webpack, Vite, Rollup
- Jest, Cypress
3. Performance :
- Draco, meshoptimizer, KTX2/Basis
- Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront
4. Collaboration :
- Technical documentation : shaders, specs, APIs
What Were Looking For :
1. Must-Haves :
- 5 to 8+ years in graphics programming with deep WebGL/Three.js knowledge
- Strong understanding of the full rendering pipeline
- Expert in GLSL : vertex, fragment, compute shaders
- Mastery of PBR, material systems, and physically accurate lighting
- Proven experience building high-performance 3D web apps
- Strong JavaScript/TypeScript skills
- Solid understanding of 3D math : matrices, vectors, quaternions
- Experience with 3D formats, UV mapping, texture workflows
- Ability to debug GPU issues and optimize across browsers/devices
- Ability to build custom WebGL engines from scratch
2. Highly Desirable :
- E-commerce and 3D configurator experience
- WebXR development experience
- Strong mobile optimization knowledge
- Experience with GPU compute, GPGPU
- Familiarity with Unity/Unreal internals
- Background in advanced rendering research
- Knowledge of ray tracing, path tracing
- Experience with photogrammetry or 3D scanning
- Open-source graphics contributions
Technical Challenges Youll Tackle :
- Achieving photorealistic 60fps rendering on mobile browsers
- Sub-second loading for complex 3D models
- Realistic shaders for different materials (jewelry, fabric, metal, glass)
- Adaptive rendering across low-end to high-end devices
- Seamless AR blending of virtual + real environments
- Managing thousands of product SKUs with diverse materials
- Debugging GPU issues across browsers, devices, and GPU vendors
