Unreal-powered projects have been on the bleeding edge of real-time entertainment for over 20 years. Our team of engineering experts are always innovating to improve the tools and technology that empower content developers worldwide.
What You'll Do
We're looking for a generalist who is excited to collaborate across disciplines to build best-in-class workflows for the Unreal Editor. As a programmer on the Editor Workflow Systems team, you will be at the forefront of helping shape the editor and workflows for Scene Graph and Verse over the coming years, with a focus on improving how users build content in the metaverse. Additionally, as a central tech team within the Unreal Engine ecosystem, your work will directly impact all Epic first-party development - including Fortnite - and reach millions of customers everywhere the Unreal Editor is used.
In this role, you will
• Design, implement, and improve content creation tools and Editor APIs, such as tab managers, docking stacks and keybind systems
• Analyze and fix problems in the Unreal Editor to improve the codebase
• Work with stakeholders in all disciplines (i.e. engineers, artists, and designers) to identify areas for improvements, gather feedback, and design solutions for users' needs in the Unreal Editor
• Support external customers by answering their technical requests and questions
• Work collaboratively across many of Epic's internal teams to improve the user experience and workflows within Unreal Editor
What we're looking for
• Excellent C++ skills
• Experience developing in a large codebase
• Experience with at least one UI Framework (i.e. WPF/XAML, Slate, WinForms, Qt)
• Experience developing tools that improve the user experience, iteration, and development time in game development or other 3D simulation programs
• Ability to collaborate and communicate cross-discipline, from content creators to engineers, from UX designers to QA analysts
• A passion for improving the customer experience beyond code. Some examples of your passion may be - participating in UX design, developing automated tests, or adding profiling and analytics to monitor user behaviors
• Someone who is user-focused, solutions-focused, and innovative. These traits equal success at Epic and influence everything we do
