• Translate high-level design goals into scalable system architectures that support systemic gameplay and iterative content development.
• Implement gameplay logic using Unreal Engine’s Blueprint system, Gameplay Ability System (GAS), and other relevant tools.
• Build designer-friendly reusable system templates that enable rapid content creation across levels and features.
• Create documentation and technical specs to clearly communicate systems to cross-discipline teams.
• Identify edge cases, scalability concerns, and performance bottlenecks early in the development process.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience as a Technical Designer, Gameplay Programmer, or Gameplay Designer on shipped or in-production titles.
• Strong experience with Unreal Engine 5, with a focus on Blueprint scripting, system design, and implementation.
• Proficient in C++ for gameplay systems and tool development.
• Familiarity with Unreal’s Gameplay Ability System (GAS) or comparable data-driven ability frameworks.
• Experience working with Unreal Engine subsystems, including Sequencer and other core engine systems.
• Solid understanding of systemic gameplay design, including interaction systems, ability frameworks, world object behaviors, and progression structures.
• Strong communication skills with proven cross-discipline collaboration experience.
• Ability to clearly document systems, workflows, and pipelines for team-wide usage.
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and optimization skills across both logic and content workflows.
• Comfortable with rapid prototyping and iterative development.

Bonus Skills:

• Experience developing first-person horror, puzzle, or narrative-driven games.
• Knowledge of network replication and multiplayer systems in Unreal Engine.
• Understanding of narrative design principles and conveying emotion through gameplay mechanics.

Experience contributing to the design and implementation of:

• AI, Behavior, State Tree
