We are seeking an experienced contractor specializing in porting modern 3D graphics applications to help bring Braid, Anniversary Edition and The Witness to the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.

Both games were built in a custom C++ engine, with bespoke rendering and systems tailored to each title. The port will require ensuring the final experience maintains the visual fidelity, responsiveness, and polish players expect from our work.

Responsibilities

• Port Braid, Anniversary Edition and The Witness from their existing custom C++ engines to run efficiently on Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.
• Optimize performance, graphics, and memory usage for the new platform while preserving artistic intent.
• Implement and test platform-specific features and requirements (input, display, certification, etc.).
• Collaborate with the studio team to troubleshoot technical challenges and maintain quality standards throughout the process.
• Provide clear documentation of changes, workflows, and platform-specific considerations.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience porting complex C++ projects (preferably custom engines) to consoles.
• Strong understanding of modern graphics APIs and GPU optimization techniques.
• Deep familiarity with memory management, performance profiling, and debugging in constrained hardware environments.
• Experience with porting or optimizing modern 3D applications or games.
• Self-directed and reliable — able to scope, execute, and deliver with minimal oversight.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience shipping games on Nintendo hardware.
• Knowledge of multithreading and concurrency in performance-sensitive applications.
• An appreciation for Braid and The Witness, or for games that push artistic and intellectual boundaries.

Contract Details

• Remote position.
• Contractor engagement (not a full-time hire).
• Competitive rate, commensurate with experience.
• Project-based contract, with possibility for ongoing collaboration on future platforms or updates.
