Job description

You're the person teammates come to when things get stuck, and you like leaving them better equipped than you found them. You're a natural evangelist for best practices, and you enjoy teaching as much as solving. You're the technical firefighter people call in a tight spot, and you stay calm because you want to understand why something works before working around it. You stay curious and rigorous, and you're open to feedback, never set in your own certainties.

What you need to succeed

You've spent real time under Unreal's hood, and you're comfortable when the answer isn't in the docs. Strong C++ and Unreal Engine experience, with a genuine appetite for digging into the engine itself. Knowledge of console TRC and their technical requirements. Hands‑on experience with Unreal Insights for performance diagnostics. Professional French and English, since English is increasingly used day to day. A plus : familiarity with Unreal's rendering stack and rendering-oriented performance.

Where this role can take you
