What we are looking for

We are looking for a Junior Engineer with a passion for gameplay engineering and Unreal Engine. This role is ideal for someone eager to develop their skills in C++ programming, multiplayer networking, and gameplay mechanics while working on exciting multiplayer projects. You’ll collaborate with designers, artists, and senior engineers to create immersive, responsive gameplay experiences and gain hands-on experience in AAA game development.

What you'll be doing

  • Assist in developing and maintaining gameplay systems in C++ and Unreal Engine.

  • Debug and optimise code to ensure smooth gameplay performance.

  • Work with the team to implement and refine multiplayer mechanics.

  • Collaborate with designers and artists to bring game features to life.

  • Learn best practices from senior engineers and contribute to code reviews.

What we need from you

  • Basic experience with C++ programming and a strong desire to learn.

  • Familiarity with Unreal Engine 4/5 and its core gameplay systems.

  • Understanding of gameplay mechanics and multiplayer concepts.

  • Problem-solving mindset with a passion for making great games.

  • Ability to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and take feedback constructively.

The Game

You'll be working on Wardogs, an all-out-warfare multiplayer first person shooter. That means infantry combat, tank warfare, jet dog fighting, and artillery barrages. We play test the game twice a week, so you'll have lots of time to get stuck in and really be a part of the game you're creating.
