🏢 Company: Undisclosed Gaming Studio
🇺🇸 Location: United States
🌎 Work Model: Remote
About the Role
We’re an undisclosed studio currently developing a new original gaming IP, and we’re looking for a Senior Unreal Generalist to join our core team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in both creative and technical spaces — with deep experience building immersive front-end experiences and solid back-end systems within Unreal Engine. You’ll play a key role in architecting systems that not only look and feel great but also scale across multiple platforms — including PC, console, and mobile.
What You’ll Do
Develop and maintain front-end features: UI/UX, materials, VFX, animation systems, and in-game cinematics using Unreal Engine 5. Build scalable back-end systems including game mechanics, save systems, gameplay logic, performance optimization, and tools infrastructure. Work closely with designers and artists to implement content pipelines and empower cross-disciplinary collaboration. Optimize game performance across platforms, with specific attention to mobile devices and lower-end hardware. Implement cross-platform functionality (PC, console, mobile), ensuring smooth player experience regardless of device. Contribute to prototyping, play-testing, and iteration processes with a player-focused mindset. Lead or mentor other developers, promoting clean architecture and sustainable code practices.
You Should Have
5+ years of experience with Unreal Engine (UE4/UE5), including shipped games or real-time applications. Expertise in both Blueprints and C++ — you can switch between visual scripting and native code with ease. Strong understanding of rendering pipelines, lighting, shaders, and UI/UX best practices. Demonstrated experience developing and maintaining backend gameplay systems. Solid grasp of platform-specific requirements and optimization strategies — including mobile (iOS/Android) and console. Experience with version control systems (Git, Perforce) and collaborative team workflows.
Bonus Points
Hands-on experience with Unreal deployment and performance tuning for mobile platforms. Familiarity with cross-platform frameworks, input handling, and platform abstraction layers. Knowledge of multiplayer systems, replication, and backend service integration (e.g., PlayFab, Firebase, AWS). Experience building tools to support content creation and iteration pipelines.
Why Join Us?
Shape the foundation of an original IP with creative and technical ownership. Work with a small, passionate team in a fast-moving, collaborative environment. Solve exciting problems across multiple platforms and push the boundaries of interactive experiences. Enjoy flexibility, trust, and the chance to work on something you’ll be proud of.
