- 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 - 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 - 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.) - 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 cal

Role Description Our customer's team is seeking a Game Tools & Modding Engineer with strong rendering and engine-level experience to build high-performance, real-time applications. This role goes beyond gameplay—you'll work on graphics systems, rendering pipelines, and low-level optimizations using technologies such as DirectX (DX11 and DX12), Vulkan, OpenGL, or similar APIs. - Design and develop game systems and engine-level features using C++ and game engines. - Develop tools and modding related to games. - Work on rendering pipelines, shaders, and real-time graphics systems. - Optimize performance across CPU/GPU, memory, and rendering workloads. - Build and extend tools, pipelines, and engine systems to support development. - Collaborate with designers, artists, and engineers to deliver high-quality experiences. - Debug complex issues related to rendering, performance, and cross-platform compatibility. - Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code. - Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical decision-making. Qualifications - 3–6 years of experience in game development or real-time graphics programming. - Strong proficiency in C++. - Hands-on experience with one or more graphics APIs: DirectX (DX11/12), Vulkan, OpenGL, or Metal. - Solid understanding of Rendering pipelines. - Solid understanding of Shaders (HLSL/GLSL). - 3D math and real-time graphics concepts. - Experience with Unreal Engine or similar game engines. - Familiarity with performance optimization (CPU/GPU, memory, multithreading). - Strong debugging and problem-solving skills. - Ability to work independently in a remote, distributed team. Preferred Qualifications - Experience with engine customization or low-level systems development. - Familiarity with profiling tools (RenderDoc, PIX, Nsight, etc.). - Experience working on cross-platform or performance-constrained environments. - Exposure to tooling, pipelines, or editor extensions. - Background in multiplayer or large-scale systems.
