As a Gameplay Programmer, you’ll join a cross-functional team building rich, tactile, and cinematic
gameplay experiences. This role bridges engineering rigor with creative iteration, working in Unreal

everything from AI behaviors to interactive systems, player abilities to camera logic—all while
upholding performance, scalability, and clarity for designers and artists.

If you love shipping exciting features, digging into the engine, and building immersive experiences
that stick with players long after the credits roll, we want to talk to you.

interactive sequences.

  • Balance performance and maintainability when building gameplay code, ensuring scalability
    for the project
    ● Dig deep into the Unreal Engine and core systems (input, physics, animation, GAS, etc.) to
    build clean, robust foundations for gameplay features.
    ● Utilize and extend existing systems to implement gameplay features based on design
    specifications with regards to multiplayer replication
    ● Work directly with other programmers to debug issues, refactor systems, and support
    pipeline tools.

    Requirements Skills

  • 3+ years of professional game development experience
    ● 1+ shipped title in Unreal Engine (preferably UE5)
    ● Experience with Unreal’s networking stack for Multiplayer
    ● Strong familiarity with Unreal Engine’s Blueprint Scripting Language
    ● Experience with Unreal subsystems: Animation (Montages, AnimBP), Sequencer, AI
    (Behavior Trees, EQS), Gameplay Ability System (GAS), Physics, and Input
    ● Proficiency in 3D math (vector math, linear algebra, transforms)
    ● Ability to take a feature from design doc to shippable implementation
    ● Collaborative mindset: able to translate creative vision into technical execution while
    communicating across departments
    ● Self-motivated with strong debugging and profiling skills
    ● Strong C++ programming skills and a clear understanding of Blueprint/C++ communication

Bonus Skills


  • Experience building narrative systems or interactive sequences
    ● Familiarity with horror or first-person puzzle games
    ● Engine-level knowledge of Unreal systems or interest in core engine work
    ● Comfort working in a startup-style environment: fast iteration, tight collaboration, big swings
    ● Wearing many-hats. Broad exposure to unreal engine’s various systems is a major plus
