It’s funny, I was a graphics person hired specifically to write shaders (20 years ago, in a studio that had their own in-house engine) but didn’t end up writing any at all for games, I did almost everything but shaders. :P There is definitely a consolidation of game engines happening in the industry. I don’t know how it’s affecting shader writing jobs, but I can imagine it’s quickly becoming less of a thing. Still, I hear a lot about people writing shaders for and doing customization on top of Unreal today.
