🎯 You should have:

• Experience building survival systems in a shipped or in-development game
• Strong Unreal Engine 5 skills (Blueprints and/or C++)
• Deep understanding of survival design principles and emergent gameplay
• Knowledge of crafting trees, player status systems, and base-building mechanics
• Passion for immersive, lore-rich survival experiences (e.g., Rust, The Forest, Valheim, etc.)

⭐ Bonus Points:

• Familiarity with online survival PvP games
• Experience with procedurally generated or modular environments
• Comfort balancing systems for both solo and group play
• Understanding of server-client survival syncing in multiplayer

🤝 What We Offer:

• Foundational Role: A unique opportunity to shape a major game and studio from its early stages.
• High impact role
• A collaborative, creative environment where your ideas matter
• Remote flexibility
• Revenue share or equity based on involvement
• A chance to shape an original IP with a strong identity and fan potential

If you're excited by the challenge and the potential reward of building something new, we want to hear from you!
