UE4 Programmer – Console VR – London

UE4 Programmer

OPM are working with a globally recognised studio that is currently looking for someone to join in the development of cutting edge Virtual Reality online experiences. The role will entail maintaining and extending the project, across all levels (physics, UI/UX, gameplay, networking, systems; both game and engine side), in both C++ and Blueprint. Aside from this, there is a tech base of other online technology that will need occasional maintenance, with opportunities for innovation in this space.

The ideal person for the job will be a generalist with a solid engineering background in C/C++ and familiarity with Unreal Engine4, ideally within the constraints of console game development. They want someone quick and eager to learn new things; proactive and pragmatic, with a keen eye for detail without losing sight of the big picture. This is a small yet diverse team, so good communication skills and an ability to listen to others’ point of view are paramount.
