I work as a graphics programmer at a big AAA game company

Really interesting since there is a lot of math involved and you’re pushing the hardware to its absolute limits

Also really satisfying to see people playing the game and see your own changes visually in it

The learning curve is very steep though

Out of curiosity, what is your background? I really enjoyed Linear Algebra and often wish I had a job that was more math heavy.

Just a regular CS undergrad, took a few graphics classes in uni but not much

Spent a couple years as a C++ dev and did some side projects (stuff like a toy engine) before finding a graphics role
