As a generalist you'll be called on to help out in a lot of places.

You'll need to be very comfortable with C++ and Unreal. Ideally you'd have experience with a variety of Unreal systems and an interest in learning new ones.

You'll also need to be fairly self-sufficient. You might have to dig pretty deeply into Unreal engine code to implement or fix something and there's a good chance nobody else on our team knows that part of the engine well enough to be of much help. It's OK if there are sizable areas of the engine you haven't explored yet but the idea of wading into large new systems and trying to figure out how they work should fill you with more excitement than dread (but a little dread is healthy).

Our new game is about interactions with urban wildlife and has gameplay that focuses on evoking a sense of life. We're trying to create moments that feel fleshy, surprising, and strange. A bit like this reference video but with more of a Jim Henson vibe.
