* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
* Excellent math and computer graphics background (lighting, animation, skinning, rendering, rasterization, etc.)
* Experience with runtime performance analysis and optimization techniques – from algorithmic and data construct levels, through to CPU, GPU and shader instruction sets.
* Excellent general software design skills, knowledge of algorithms and data structures, software architectures and development methods.
* Familiarity with current techniques in graphics – reading and understanding research papers.
* Very good debugging skills.
* Excellent communication skills and leadership experience.
* Experience with multi-threaded and distributed programming.
* Self-motivated, and able to work with minimal direct supervision.

Ouip, NCsoft qui dépose la marque City of Heroes 2 (un premier avril ) était jusqu'à présent la seule chose qui permettait de penser que Paragon Studios ne se contentait pas de mettre à jour City of Heroes. 'fin à ma connaissance en tout cas, je n'ai pas d'autres "preuves" tangibles en tête.
