  • Lead the design, development, and optimization of advanced real-time systems in Unreal Engine 5.
  • Build and extend core runtime features including: Interactive cameras and slice-plane systems. 
  • Dynamic lighting, time-of-day, and environmental effects. 
  • UMG and in-engine tools for interaction and visualization control.
  • Drive large-scale scene optimization using Nanite, Lumen, World Partition, and PCG.
  • Develop reusable Unreal frameworks, documentation, and pipelines to improve efficiency and maintain consistency across teams.
  • Collaborate with engineers, artists, and producers to ensure seamless integration between systems and client-facing deliverables.
  • Troubleshoot performance, rendering, and system-level challenges with efficiency and precision.
  • Mentor mid-level and junior developers, fostering growth in Unreal best practices and creative problem solving.
  • Contribute to technical planning and help define the studio’s Unreal Engine roadmap.
     
What We’re Looking For:
  • 6+ years of professional experience developing in Unreal Engine (UE5 preferred).
  • Expert knowledge of C++ and Blueprints, Unreal Editor tools, and runtime system architecture.
  • Proven experience creating interactive features, procedural tools, and scalable systems.
  • Deep understanding of large environment workflows, dynamic lighting, and real-time rendering optimization.
  • Familiarity with Perforce, Git, or equivalent version control tools.
  • Strong technical documentation and communication skills.
  • A proactive, collaborative leader with a track record of mentoring or leading technical teams.
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging abilities across multidisciplinary projects.
     
Nice to Have:
  • Experience with VR/XR systems or virtual production pipelines (nDisplay, LED walls).
  • Knowledge of Unreal networking/replication or database integration (MySQL).
  • Experience with Datasmith, CAD data, or architectural visualization workflows.
  • Familiarity with automation, Python, or build systems for Unreal projects.
  • Understanding of projection mapping or real-time performance environments.
