Role Description Make AI-generated worlds feel alive. We need someone who gets excited about the chaos of making games that didn't exist 30 seconds ago feel great to play for thousands of players. As a Game Engineer at Spawn, you'll be the bridge between what AI imagines and what humans actually want to play. - One week you might be building a physics engine that adapts to whatever wild mechanics an AI just invented. - The next, you're optimizing WebGL rendering for 10,000 on-screen particles because the AI decided this puzzle game needs epic visual effects. - You won't be handed game designs – you'll figure out how to make anything an AI generates feel magical. Qualifications - Experience with real-time multiplayer features (even small-scale) - Graphics programming (WebGL, Three.js, shaders) - Making games feel good (physics, animations, responsiveness) Company Description

• Work to implement game mechanics and AI behaviors for our compelling 6-person multiplayer experiences & provide mentorship to other programmers • Consistently push the limits of the Unity game engine to maximize the quality of each VR experience. • Keep up with the latest features and optimization techniques and decide if, when, and how to incorporate them. • Find or develop tools and processes to make the development process more efficient. • Actively contribute to creative maintainable code that can be reused across experiences. • Own key areas of the experience from technical perspective • Experiment with game design and use rapid prototyping to develop features, all while ensuring that strong architectural and algorithmic decisions are made. • Work closely with art and design to create and iterate on gameplay features. • Fix bugs in existing gameplay systems as required. • Contribute ideas toward all aspects of the VR experience’s production and development processes. Write robust, maintainable code.

• Develop and maintain the tools and systems required to enable other developers to create missions, build complex game mechanics, and balance the game. • Improve and maintain gameplay within the PCF Framework (based on Unreal Engine 4). • Create prototypes for new gameplay features. • Write code for complex game mechanics. • Write code for level layout, event scripting, balancing, narrative pacing, and tuning. • Test, debug, profile, and optimize implementations. • Produce design documentation that adheres to team standards. • Occasionally assist the manager in carrying out recruitment initiatives in collaboration with Human Resources. • Occasionally onboard new employees. • Actively participate in code reviews.

Title: Gameplay Engineer Location: Montreal QC CA Hybrid Job Description: Description Devoted Studios is a globally remote game development company specializing in Co-development, Porting, and End-to-End Art Production for the global gaming industry. We collaborate across time zones to support projects on all major platforms, engines and styles - from AAA titles to emerging technologies. Our team includes world-class talents who bring deep expertise in external development, pipeline optimization, and creative problem-solving. Whether it’s porting games to new systems, enhancing gameplay features, or crafting stunning visuals, Devoted Studios operates as a trusted, flexible extension of our partners’ internal teams. We are proud to be the development partner of choice for industry leaders such as: - 2K - Xbox - Meta - Obsidian Entertainment - Turtle Rock Studios - Gearbox Software We are seeking a Gameplay Engineer who is a specialist e a specialist — deeply fluent in C++ and Unreal Engine, experienced shipping AAA systems, and capable of taking a brief from a gameplay designer and turning it into production-quality code that holds up on every platform and survives every patch. Key Responsibilities Core Gameplay Systems (~50%) - Implement gameplay systems from designer briefs: combat, abilities, movement, AI behaviours, progression, inventory, interaction, camera — scope varies by engagement - Build reusable, maintainable, testable gameplay code in C++ (and Blueprint where appropriate) within Unreal Engine 5 - Own Gameplay Ability System (GAS) implementation — AttributeSets, Abilities, GameplayEffects, GameplayCues — on engagements where GAS is in use - Implement animation-gameplay integration: Anim Notifies, state-driven Anim BPs, root motion handling, blendspaces - Implement multiplayer-safe gameplay code on engagements with networking requirements — replication, client-server authority, lag compensation Quality & Performance (~25%) - Profile and optimise gameplay code to target platform budgets — CPU frame time, tick overhead, replication cost - Write code that is reviewable: clean, commented where logic is non-obvious, consistent with project standards - Catch and fix gameplay bugs — including edge cases, exploit patterns, and regression from live updates - Participate actively in code review: review peers' PRs with specificity, receive and act on feedback without defensiveness Design Collaboration (~15%) - Work directly with gameplay designers to translate design intent into engine behaviour — close the gap between what is specced and what ships - Identify implementation risks in design briefs early — before they become rework — and propose alternatives when the spec is not buildable as written - Expose gameplay parameters to designers in a way that is tunable without engineering involvement (Blueprint exposed properties, Datatable-driven tuning, etc.) Documentation & Handoff (~10%) - Document systems clearly — architecture decisions, integration points, known limitations - Support technical handoffs between phases or teams: leave the codebase in a state that the next engineer can understand without a phone call Requirements - 5+ years of professional game development experience with at least 3 years in AAA or mid-tier shipped titles - At least 2 shipped commercial titles on PC or console as a gameplay engineer — prototypes and internal tools do not count - Deep Unreal Engine 5 experience in C++: Gameplay Framework (Actor, Component, GameMode, GameState, PlayerController), GAS, CharacterMovement, Anim BP integration - Strong C++ fundamentals: memory management, data-oriented thinking, performance-aware coding - Blueprint proficiency — not just reading it, but building designer-facing tooling in it - Experience with multiplayer gameplay replication (nice to have, not required for all engagements) - Strong game design sensibility — can tell good gameplay from broken gameplay and can articulate why - Remote-first habits: clear async communication, writes things down, doesn't create silent dependencies Preferred - Online multiplayer systems — Actor replication, GameplayEffects replication, ability prediction and correction - Console platform experience: certification pipelines, platform-specific constraints - Gameplay AI systems in UE5: Behavior Trees, EQS, AI Perception — not required but valuable for certain engagements - Prior co-development or external development experience Benefits This would he a full-time employment role with standard industry benefits in Canada
