Senior Unreal Engine Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Unreal Engine Engineer with a varied background in engineering and strong experience using the Unreal engine. Our first title is an ambitious 3rd person smart shooter with unique elements. This is not your everyday shooter! This role will work highly independently to prepare our game to run smoothly on current generation consoles. The ideal candidate will be interested in working in a high energy, creative, and collaborative environment.

 IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL

• Partner and collaborate with the Engineering and Tech Art teams to port the game to consoles.
• Optimize code to align with technical specifications and constraints. 
• Comfortable diving into the details and understanding the inner workings of the Unreal Engine and current generation consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X).
• Enjoy collaboration, partnering, and mentoring others to hone their craft/skills to execute on the technical vision of the game. 
• Generate ideas on how to optimize gameplay, performance, and memory usage and share within the team.
• Use solid judgment to suggest solutions that strive to balance customer needs, business constraints and technological realities.
• Provide timelines to Production to ensure schedules are achievable and appropriate.

 EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS WE LOOK FOR:

• At least 7 years of engineering experience (at least 2 years in Unreal).
• Preferably shipped at least one AAA UE4+ console shooter title in a senior or lead position.
• Strong knowledge of UE5 architecture (preferred).
• Direct experience in porting AAA games to either Playstation or Xbox (preferably both).
• Strong background in console client profiling and optimization.
• Desire to take initiative and have the ability to work independently in a highly flexible environment.
• Prior experience working in a startup environment is a plus.
• Comfortable collaborating across various time zones with interdisciplinary remote team members.

WHY WORK WITH US?

• We offer a competitive salary.
• We are fully remote.
• We have a fun, working prototype and some unique marketing levers in our back pocket.
• We are genuine – and we want you to be yourself and seek to foster an inclusive environment with us.
• We embrace diversity and desire to build a team of open-minded and unique individuals with different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives.
• We have a sense of humor and while we take the work seriously, we take ourselves less so.
• You'll be hard-pressed to find a happier group of people to work alongside.
• More about the project can be explained under NDA!
