Unknown Worlds is seeking an experienced Principal Engineer to help drive the development effort on a new game project. As a key technical expert, you will play a critical role in building foundational systems in Unreal Engine 5 and guiding our engineering team through the transition to Unreal.
You excel at being a hands-on problem solver, helping to architect, implement, and optimize core gameplay and engine systems while also mentoring the team to deepen their Unreal expertise and develop strong technical foundations. This is a high-impact, broad-scope role—perfect for a generalist who enjoys working across a variety of systems. Reporting to the project engineering lead, you will help surface technical risks, refine development workflows, and contribute directly to the codebase while maintaining a strong focus on team mentorship.
This is a remote position on a fully distributed team.&nbsp; We are looking for a candidate with the flexibility to collaborate with a team located primarily in the East and West Coast US time zones.
