Job Details

Wildlight Entertainment is a brand-new, fully-funded entertainment studio comprised of talented creators from some of the biggest IPs in gaming, including Apex Legends, Call of Duty, and Titanfall. We are driven by our deep passion for making AAA games that leave a lasting impact on the world, and we match that drive with a commitment to quality in every aspect of our work. We foster a positive, supportive work environment built on mutual trust and open communication, where everyone has a voice and is treated with respect. With a bias for action and a belief in each other, we’re betting on ourselves to deliver truly unforgettable gaming experiences. 

We're a remote-first company, but we believe people should be able to work where they can be most productive. Currently, we can employ in the United States and Canada. We also have offices in Los Angeles and Seattle for those interested in hybrid or full-time office work.

We are looking for a Senior UI Engineer to build the systems and frameworks needed to deliver intuitive, responsive interactions across the player experience. If you care about building systems that allow creative teams to present information to the player in rich, informative ways and quickly iterate on interaction flows, all while maintaining high performance, this role may be for you. As a Senior UI Engineer, you will be responsible for driving our UI technology and workflows. You will collaborate with our UX designer to define the requirements for our UI systems. Using these requirements and the knowledge gained from careful research of the engine’s existing UI technology, you will identify and implement the custom features required to meet our goals. You will work closely with designers, artists, and other engineers to develop APIs and best practices for constructing UI elements. As a part of our engineering team, you’ll also contribute to a culture of collaborative problem-solving, technical excellence, and continuous education and improvement.

Responsibilities

    • Collaborate with the design and art teams to define UI requirements and implement the necessary features.
    • Work with a UX/UI team to develop and improve interaction paradigms.
    • Be an expert on the engine's existing UI systems and use this knowledge to inform visual targets, best practices, and internal development needs. 
    • Optimize UI systems to meet performance budgets.
    • Collaborate with other engineers to define UI integrations with other systems.
    • Educate other team members on the proper use of UI components and APIs.
    • While collaborating across departments, you enjoy autonomy over your expertise, and can self drive and prioritize as necessary. 

Requirements

    • 5+ years of experience as a game engineer focusing on UI/UX systems.
    • Strong C/C++ programming and debugging skills.
    • Strong understanding of common UI framework design patterns.
    • Deep expertise in designing systems for high performance on modern hardware.
    • Unreal Engine experience.
Compensation: We believe that a team that builds together wins together. Because of that, our compensation packages consist of competitive industry standard base salaries and an annual bonus. For this specific role, the base salary range is $170,000 to $220,000 (USD) with the final salary offered dependent on job-related skills, knowledge, experience, and internal equity.

Benefits: We are committed to creating a positive and inclusive work environment with a no-crunch culture and an unlimited PTO policy so people can take the time when they need and want it! Additionally, we offer comprehensive healthcare, dental & vision coverage for you and your family and paid parental leave.
