Lionheart Games
Develop with Unreal Engine

- Solve Complex Problems
Although your focus is on the client, there will be opportunities to develop across all game areas — allowing you to broaden your skills as an engineer.
Lionheart Games is looking for an experienced Client Software Engineer (C++ preferred — though we are evaluating new engine options due to Epic Games vs. Apple lawsuit, so C# candidates are free to apply) with a strong desire to contribute to every aspect of development, and who knows what it means to take responsibility and deliver excellent results. You have the skills and knowledge to visualize how a game should work, and you can translate that into functioning code that our players can enjoy.
Joining us means being part of a team with the passion and inherent drive to create innovative, high-performing games. We are intellectually curious and excited to apply the latest game development innovations to our projects. In this role, you will have the opportunity to be part of an entrepreneurial environment that embraces new and different ideas. Everyone at Lionheart Games is excited about creating the best mobile games possible, and we empower one another to learn and grow from our collective experiences. All of this means more chances for you to unleash your ingenuity, energy, collaboration, and dedication.
