RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design, build and maintain production-quality foundational gameplay systems, frameworks, workflows, and tools in C++ on Unreal Engine 5
  • Provide technical direction for shared gameplay systems, working closely with engineers and content creators to evolve their architecture, identify risks early, and ensure they scale with our simulation and networking model

  • Demonstrated experience architecting and evolving large-scale gameplay systems, frameworks, or shared gameplay infrastructure, beyond the implementation of individual gameplay features
  • Deep experience profiling and optimizing real-time games, including identifying, investigating, and resolving CPU, memory, networking, and other systemic performance bottlenecks
  • Experience developing with Unreal Engine
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics and influence technical decisions across disciplines

NICE-TO-HAVE SKILLS

  • Experience developing and shipping multiplayer games, particularly games with complex gameplay simulation and networking requirements
  • Experience developing and optimizing games across PC and console platforms
