  • Extensive knowledge of Unreal Engine and the ability to mentor others in Unreal.
  • Substantial networking experience and understanding of multiplayer gameplay architecture.
  • Knowledge of game engine architecture and algorithms.
  • Understanding of testing strategies for multiplayer development.
  • Clear and effective communication: We have a multilingual and multicultural working environment and the ability to communicate across language and time zone barriers is essential.

  • Paid leave — 26 days of vacation, 10 sick days, & 12 calendar holidays per year.
  • RRSP with employer matching.
  • Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) – $100 per month to use towards fitness, wellness, internet, home office equipment, learning, streaming services, and more.
