WHAT MAKES US EPIC?

At the core of Epic’s success are talented, passionate people. Epic prides itself on creating a collaborative, welcoming, and creative environment. Whether it’s building award-winning games or crafting engine technology that enables others to make visually stunning interactive experiences, we’re always innovating.

Being Epic means being a part of a team that continually strives to do right by our community and users. We’re constantly innovating to raise the bar of engine and game development.

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 AI Programmer passionate about broadening our Unreal AI tool chain. You will be working with others in the team to take part in building new tools, but more importantly, evaluate and improve our existing tools. 

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 precision and performance. As a member of the Unreal Engine AI 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 using the Unreal Engine AI toolset. Your contributions to the team will help build towards the next generation of amazing gameplay experiences and finding paths to expose the toolset to our content creator ecosystem.

In this role, you will

  • Own, develop and expand the feature sets and exposure of the Mass Framework, our Data Oriented Design framework in Unreal Engine
  • Identify areas where Mass could more easily be opted-in directly with the Editor workflow
  • Identify how to leverage Mass capabilities without reliance on the Actor framework for core Engine features (Serialization, Replication, Rendering, Physics, etc.)
  • Identify areas where the Mass framework could be automatically leveraged by some of our UE systems (Lightweight editor entity streaming, converting to Actor on the demand, etc.) 
  • Evaluate existing toolsets, propose alternative or new solutions in new and innovative ways
  • Support our partners and licensees in accomplishing their ambitions with our AI tools

What we're looking for

  • Strong C++ skills and programming principles knowledge
  • Strong understanding of engine tooling pipelines
  • Robust understanding of AI toolsets generally used in AAA systems
  • Passion, interest and knowledge in one or many areas of the Gameplay AI domain 
  • Talent for 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

This role is open to multiple locations in North America (not including CA & WA), Europe and United Kingdom.
