We're seeking passionate and driven professionals across all areas of game development to help shape this ambitious vision. If you’re interested in tackling unique challenges and think you have what it takes to level up our team, we encourage you to apply!

What We Need

Our studio in Vancouver is seeking a UI Software Engineer to join our development team in working on a new AAA Sports game. This role will work closely with senior engineers from all game areas, artists, and designers. Within this role, you will be focused on graphical user interfaces including a focus on building larger experiences that include client and server work.

What You’ll Do

  • UI Implementation & Polish: Partner with our UI and gameplay teams to bring clean, high-performance user interfaces to life. This includes using Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG) and Blueprints to accurately implement polished art assets, dynamic animations, and visual effects.
  • System Development: Develop, test, and debug robust C++ code for UI/UX systems and tools. We prioritize solutions that are performant, maintainable, and clearly structured.
  • Collaboration & Learning: Actively collaborate with artists and designers to refine content creation pipelines and improve efficiency. You will participate in code reviews, embracing a culture of continuous learning and technical quality.

  • Proficiency in C++ and object-oriented programming is critical, coupled with hands-on experience using Unreal Engine (UMG, Blueprints, and editor workflows).
  • A solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and 3D math.
  • A commitment to writing clean, well-documented, and efficient code, paired with the ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to non-technical partners (Art, Design, Production).
