Senior Gameplay Engineer - ARC Raiders

As a Senior Gameplay Engineer at Embark, you will work on ARC Raiders, alongside some of the most talented people in the games industry. We believe that great games are made in creative environments, where builds are always playable, and teams can move fast and test as many ideas as possible. In close collaboration with our designers, you will create easy-to-use systems that enable us to iterate quickly and that encourage experimentation.

The games we're making are built in Unreal, using C++, blueprints and a scripting language called Angelscript. This is a technical, systems-oriented role rather than a content-facing one. You will work autonomously across problems like performance, tooling, architecture and networking - the systems our gameplay and design teams build on top of. You won't be planned for gameplay tasks by production; instead you're expected, with some direction, to find and explore solutions to our everyday and long-term technical problems.

Example of responsibilities

We would love if you have

A creative and curious mind

A strong background in C++

A good grasp of what good gameplay looks and feels like

Fluent in English - our team comes from all over the world!

An interest in computer science and programming as a craft

Comfortable owning technical problems end-to-end with minimal day-to-day direction from design or production

At Embark we offer competitive salaries, passionate colleagues to share knowledge with and much more, but most of all we invite you to take part of a journey into the unknown, to build creative, surprising and beautiful experiences together.

Be yourself at Embark and make games while doing so. Please apply with confidence. We can't wait to hear from you (in English)!
