Unreal Engine Senior Developer

Location: Remote

Contract: Freelance / Project-based

Compensation: Profit-sharing (percentage of project revenue)

Veinspire Games is a full-cycle co-dev studio working with AAA studios, investors, publishers and indie teams on PC, console, and mobile games. From vertical slice to full releases, we deliver playable, production-ready content — fast, focused, and flexible.

We are looking for an Unreal Engine Senior Lead to take charge of our projects built in Unreal (UE4/UE5). In this role, you will design and oversee the core architecture of Unreal projects, optimize performance across platforms, and guide a team of UE developers through all stages of development.

This job is remote and on a freelance contract with profit-sharing, meaning you get flexibility in work style and a share of the game’s profits upon success. If you have a passion for pushing Unreal Engine to its limits and leading teams to create great games, we’d love to have you on board.

🔧Responsibilities: 

• Design core architecture and modular systems for UE4/UE5 projects.
• Lead development of gameplay, AI, UI, networking, and tools.
• Profile and optimize CPU/GPU performance across platforms (PC, console, mobile).
• Set and enforce coding standards, perform code reviews, and refactor where needed.
• Build editor tools, scripts, and streamline pipelines.
• Collaborate with producers/designers to plan sprints and define feasible technical solutions.
• Mentor and support the UE team, fostering clean code and problem-solving culture.

✅Requirements: 

• Experience: 6+ years in game development, 3+ years with Unreal (UE4/UE5). Lead or senior role on shipped titles.
• Unreal Mastery: Strong C++ (modern standards), Gameplay Framework, Blueprints, UMG, physics, animation, replication. Ability to dive into engine source when needed.
• Performance: Skilled in optimization using Unreal Insights, RenderDoc, PIX, etc. Experience with multi-platform optimization (console/mobile) is a strong plus.
• Architecture: Capable of building scalable systems, managing large codebases, and applying design patterns.
• Leadership: Proven experience leading or mentoring dev teams. Strong communication and planning skills.
• Bonus: Experience with TRC compliance, platform SDKs, or mobile performance constraints.

🎯What We Offer: 

• Remote Work: Work from anywhere you like – our team is distributed globally, and we value results over hours clocked.
• Flexible Freelance Setup: A contract-based engagement that gives you flexibility. We operate on milestones and deliverables rather than a strict 9-to-5.
• Profit Sharing: In addition to any agreed contract fees, you will earn a percentage of the project’s profits. Your excellent work directly increases the potential reward.
• Diverse Projects: Opportunity to lead the art direction on a range of game projects (from realistic PC/console titles to stylized mobile games) for various high-profile clients. This means a rich and varied portfolio and constant creative challenges.
• Collaborative Culture: Join a small, passionate team of game industry professionals. You’ll have a significant voice in project decisions and the chance to leave your artistic mark on games played by potentially thousands of players.
