  • Elaborate on an interoperability layer between our current (Actor) and future (Scene Graph) high level framework technology with our lower level, data oriented programming framework, Mass

  • Support our internal & external partners through the adoption of the new Scene Graph technology stack
  • Support developing and designing language APIs

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of experience working with AAA game engines and a variety of game engine systems and technologies

  • Experience building robust, extensible, maintainable systems
  • Self-motivated, strong work ethic, and able to work independently
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with demonstrated ability to communicate fluently in English (written and verbal)
  • You’re user-focused, passionate, solutions-focused, and innovative, these traits equal success at Epic and influence everything we do
