PROGRAMMING - UNREAL ENGINE

What We Do

Unreal-powered projects have been on the bleeding edge of real-time entertainment for over 20 years. Our team of programming experts are always innovating to improve the tools and technology that empower content developers worldwide.

What You'll Do

We are looking for a Senior Engine Programmer passionate about broadening our Unreal Framework technology stack. You will be working with others in the team to take part in building fundamental pieces of Unreal Technology to reconcile our Content Creator Ecosystem ambitions while staying true to delivering on our promise of delivering workflow and tools scaling to the AAA / Open World space. Your impact can be in all of the areas of the development spectrum, from design, to usability, to deployment in projects while ensuring stellar runtime performance. As a member of the Framework Unreal Engine team, you’ll be responsible for collaborating with other programmers from the team to propose APIs that will be leveraged by other UE Engine teams, but also programmers and designers from 1st Parties or Licensees who are building their game upon our Unreal Engine Framework technology. Your contributions to the team will help build towards the next generation of amazing gameplay experiences while finding paths to expose the toolset to our content creator ecosystem by also proposing API to the Verse Language.

In this role, you will

  • Build upon the new Scene Graph framework which encompasses the notions of Entities, Components & Prefabs
  • Expand Unreal Engine fundamentals, such as Blueprints, Serialization, UObjects, to unlock requirements for the Scene Graph & the Verse Language
  • 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
  • Inform how to decouple our high-level functionality from Actor so that the Mass framework can be leveraged more directly (Serialization, Replication, Rendering, Physics, etc.)
  • Support our internal & external partners through the adoption of the new Scene Graph & Mass Framework technology stack
  • Support developing and designing language API for it

What we're looking for

  • Strong C++ skills and programming principles knowledge
  • Strong understanding of simulation engine tooling pipelines
  • Understanding of Game Framework technologies (high-level)
  • Understanding of Data Oriented programming Frameworks (low-level)
  • Experience building robust, extensible, maintainable systems
  • Experience developing AAA games or game engine technology professionally
  • 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

We pay 100% for benefits for both employees and dependents and offer coverage for supplemental medical, dental, vision, critical illness, telemedicine, Life and AD&D, long term disability insurance as well as weekly indemnity (short term disability) and a retirement savings plan with a competitive employer match.
