About the role -
They’re seeking an experienced, product-focused technical leader to take charge of the technical vision and execution of their open-world multiplayer game creation framework. You’ll operate as a founding engineer or technical cofounder, helping scale their modular, multiplayer-first sandbox framework built on Unreal Engine 5.
This is a hands-on leadership position: you’ll be actively coding while also working closely with production to manage a small core team of engineers and scripters, guiding the development process, and ensuring their systems meet the scale and ambition of the platform.
The ideal candidate would have 10+ years of experience with a deep Unreal expertise (including networking, plugins, and tools), and a passion for building powerful and extensible systems. You’ll work directly with leadership to ensure the product ships on time, on spec, and with excellence.
