Required Skills

• Ability to write, debug, and maintain code in C++.
• Experience designing and building networked game systems related to long‑term player pursuits.
• Ability to communicate with customers of different technical and non‑technical backgrounds to help them navigate technology and achieve their goals.
• Experience with development using the Unreal Engine.

Nice‑to‑have Skills

• Experience with development on a variety of platforms (PC, console).
• Experience mentoring or managing engineers.
