Unreal Gameplay Programmer

Mid-Level Programmer – Indie Game Studio (Hybrid/Remote)

🧩 About My Client

They’re a small, ambitious indie team gearing up to launch our next title. With corporate branding and their website going live this week, They’re ready to hit the ground running—and they need a talented programmer to help bring our vision to life.

This is a rare opportunity to be the sole programmer on a tightly-knit team, meaning you’ll have real ownership, creative input, and the chance to shape the technical direction of the project from the ground up.

👨 💻 The Role

I am looking for a mid-level programmer who thrives in a hands-on, execution-focused environment. You’ll be our go-to developer, responsible for building core systems, solving gameplay challenges, and collaborating closely with design and art to bring the game to life.

This is not a management role—it’s for someone who loves to build, iterate, and ship.

🛠️ Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain gameplay systems, tools, and pipelines
• Collaborate with designers and artists to implement features and mechanics
• Optimize performance across platforms
• Own the codebase and ensure stability and scalability
• Rapidly prototype and iterate based on team feedback
• Contribute to technical planning and architecture decisions

🎯 Requirements

• Proven experience shipping at least one indie AA title (ideally two), or mainstream AA/AAA game
• Strong proficiency in C++, Unity, or Unreal Engine
• Comfortable working independently and taking initiative
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills
• Ability to communicate clearly and collaborate across disciplines

🌍 Work Setup

• Hybrid model: 1–2 days per week hot-desking or office-based (flexible)
• Fully remote: First 6–8 weeks; long-term remote possible for top-tier candidates
• Immediate start: We’re ready to go—just waiting for the right person
