  • Debugging, troubleshooting, and resolving technical issues throughout development.

  • Optimizing game performance and stability across target platforms.

  • Contributing to technical design discussions and helping identify effective solutions to development challenges.

  • Integrating assets, systems, and tools into the game pipeline.

  • Participating in code reviews and maintaining engineering best practices.

  • Supporting the development process from prototype through release.

  • Assisting with testing, bug fixing, and ongoing iteration to ensure a high-quality player experience.

What we're looking for

  • 4+ years of professional game development experience or a similar role.

  • Expertise in developing games in Unreal Engine 5.

  • Proficiency in C++ and Blueprints.

  • Strong understanding of game systems, architecture, and development best practices.

  • Experience implementing gameplay features and technical systems from concept to completion.

  • Ability to debug, troubleshoot, and solve complex technical challenges.

  • Experience optimizing performance and stability across game projects.

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.

  • Ability to work independently and contribute effectively within a multidisciplinary team.

  • Passion for games and creating high-quality player experiences.

Nice to have

  • Experience shipping games on PC, console, or mobile platforms.

  • Experience developing multiplayer or online game systems.

  • Familiarity with version control systems such as Perforce or Git.

  • Experience optimizing game performance and memory usage.

  • Experience building tools, pipelines, or workflows to support development teams.

  • Familiarity with Agile, Scrum, or similar development methodologies.

  • Positive, go-getter attitude with a passion for making things.

  • An understanding or experience with the arts, animation, gaming, and/or ‘internet nerd’ culture.

What we offer

  • The opportunity to help build games based on globally recognized IP with a passionate fanbase.

  • Close collaboration with leadership and the game teams.

  • Remote-friendly with flexibility on location.

  • The chance to help shape the technical foundations of Glitch's growing games team.

  • The chance to help build something genuinely new, with the creative and commercial foundation already in place.
