Amber Studio; Región Centro; Híbrido; MXN 1.527.000 - 2.375.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Amber Studio is seeking a Senior Unreal Engineer to port a large AA Unreal Engine 5 title to a Linux-based cloud streaming platform. You will work in a massive codebase, integrating platform SDKs, optimizing performance, and ensuring stable, scalable gameplay across CPU, GPU and memory budgets.

You will collaborate with engineering, art, UX, QA, production, platform teams, and external partners. Remote contract 5–7 months with preferred US Central hours.

Formación

• 7+ years of professional game development experience, including work on large or complex productions.
• 4+ years of hands-on Unreal Engine C++ development using modern C++ (memory management, concurrency, performance-aware programming).
• Strong working knowledge of Unreal Engine architecture, modules, plugins, subsystems, rendering, and save systems.
• Experience debugging and extending a large, existing codebase.
• Strong Unreal Insights experience: CPU timing, thread analysis, memory, load-time profiling and optimization.
• Experience integrating third-party or platform SDKs into Unreal Engine.
• Experience writing clear, maintainable production code, isolated behind interfaces.
• Experience with Perforce or similar version control for large game repos.
• Comfortable explaining technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders in English.

Responsabilidades

• Adapt and stabilize the game for Linux and bring up new builds on a cloud streaming runtime.
• Integrate platform SDK functionality: input, profiles, saves, telemetry, lifecycle events behind clean interfaces.
• Build cloud-streamed controller input end-to-end including connectivity and latency handling.
• Profile and optimize CPU, GPU, memory, loading, and frame-time behavior with engineers and artists.
• Support cloud-native save, profile, progression, and session-resume workflows.
• Diagnose threading, synchronization, IPC, and frame-pacing issues across the engine and plugins.
• Track memory growth, leaks, hitches, and startup time; improve shader and pipeline-cache behavior.
• Build automated testing and diagnostics with Unreal Automation Framework and Gauntlet.
• Flag technical risk early and communicate trade-offs across teams and partners.
