    • Build prototypes for new gameplay elements to test and iterate on concepts.
    • Identify and resolve technical issues, ensuring a polished and engaging player experience.
    • Improve game performance, focusing on memory management, frame rate enhancement, and using UE5’s profiling tools.
    • Work closely with team members to communicate complex technical concepts in an understandable manner.

Requirements

    • Expertise in both visual and text-based scripting languages (Blueprint, Lua, Python).
    • Deep understanding of Unreal Engine workflows, including UE5’s Control Rig, Sequencer, animation systems, Niagara VFX, Nanite, Lumen, materials, and shaders.
    • Experience in optimising game performance and troubleshooting bottlenecks using UE5's profiling tools.
    • Strong grasp of game and level design principles.
    • Previous experience working on games or game-adjacent projects.
    • Motivation to tackle creative and technical challenges and the ability to analyse and deconstruct the work of others.
