Job description

As a Gameplay Engineer at Embark, you will work on THE FINALS, alongside some of the most talented people in the games industry. We believe that great games are made in creative environments, where builds are always playable, and teams can move fast and test as many ideas as possible. In close collaboration with our designers, you will build easy-to-use systems that enable us to iterate quickly and that encourage experimentation.

The games we're making are built in Unreal, using C++, blueprints and a scripting language called Angelscript. This role spans both content and the systems underneath it. You'll work on features players feel directly, as well as performance, tooling, architecture and networking. We care about building things once and building them well, and we keep pushing to make what's built for one part of the game useful to whoever needs it next. You'll have experienced engineers around you to learn from, and room to grow into ownership of complex problems.
