  • Experience working closely with design teams to elicit requirements and design low-level engine systems

It's a bonus if you have...
  • Professional development experience with real-time networked multiplayer games
  • Professional Unreal Engine 4 development experience on PC and consoles
  • Experience with multi-threaded development
  • Experience developing for Scarlett, PS5, Xbox One and PS4
  • Experience profiling and optimising code for optimal CPU, memory, and bandwidth usage
  • Experience developing procedurally generated environments

Perks and benefits include...
  • Substantial performance-related pay system, along with enhanced pension contributions and life assurance scheme
  • Bespoke visa and relocation packages for you and your family, with support from their team throughout the whole process
  • Industry-leading fully paid 30 weeks maternity leave and 10 weeks paternity leave
