Senior Engine Programmer, Unreal Cloud Services

About the role

Join Unreal Cloud Services, the team behind Lore (Epic's next-generation, open-source version control system built for the future of game development). You'll work at the boundary between editor and cloud, making distributed workflows, collaboration, and version control feel like a natural part of the creator experience. As Unreal evolves toward UE6, you'll help bring these capabilities together into a cohesive editor experience.

What You'll Do

• Build Unreal Editor features that bring cloud-based collaboration into everyday creator workflows
• Implement responsive editor experiences that interact with asynchronous and distributed services
• Work across editor, networking, storage, revision control, and UX systems to make cloud-backed workflows feel natural to Unreal Engine
• Partner with Product and UX teams to turn product ideas into clear, practical, and polished editor experiences
• Collaborate with backend and infrastructure engineers on features that span the editor and cloud services
• Use modern development practices, including AI-assisted programming, to improve implementation, debugging, and iteration

What We're Looking For

• Strong C++ skills and experience working in a large native codebase
• Experience building user-facing tools, editor features, and complex interactive workflows
• Experience building clients that interact with asynchronous or networked services
• Strong understanding of parallelism, networking, latency, and failure handling
• Strong eye for user experience and how technical behavior affects creator workflows
• Experience working closely with Product, UX, and engineering teams to ship features
• Experience with Unreal Engine, another game engine, or comparable tools development
• Experience with Rust is a plus
