​This is a chance to work deep in Unreal Engine on a new AAA tactical first-person shooter, alongside a team made up of experienced industry veterans.

You’ll be focused on rendering, performance and engine-level optimisation, helping shape how the game performs, scales and looks in production. It’s a highly technical role with real influence over the engine, tooling and optimisation standards used across the wider development team.

If you enjoy solving low-level performance problems, extending Unreal and working closely with art and animation teams, this is the kind of role where you can make a visible impact.

​

What you'll be doing

• Develop and maintain tools focused on performance and optimisation.

• Profile and optimise rendering performance in Unreal Engine.

• Extend and improve Unreal Engine functionality where needed.

• Build clear optimisation guidelines and workflows for Art and Animation teams.

• Identify performance bottlenecks across rendering and engine systems.

• Write clean, modular and maintainable C++ code.

• Refactor and document existing systems where required.

• Work closely with artists, animators and other engineers to improve performance without compromising visual quality.

• Support wider technical decisions around scalability and runtime performance.

​

What we're looking for

• Strong commercial experience working with Unreal Engine.

• Excellent C++ skills.

• Good understanding of game engine and systems architecture.

• Strong experience with profiling, debugging and optimisation.

• Comfortable reading, refactoring and documenting complex codebases.

• Experience working cross-functionally with disciplines such as Art and Animation.

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach.

Nice to have

• Experience working on realistic multiplayer first-person shooters.

• Understanding of animation systems and gameplay synchronisation.

• Knowledge of networked multiplayer and client-server architecture.

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and version control systems such as Perforce.
