Vetted Unreal Engine Professionals

“Unity VR senior developer with ~8 years in VR and ~3 years focused on Meta Quest, building multiplayer training/digital-twin style experiences. Strong Photon (PUN/Fusion) background, including solving tricky networked object attachment/jitter issues via ownership and local-physics strategies. Demonstrated hands-on performance turnarounds in VR scenes using Mesh Baker, LODs, and impostors, plus experience shipping social multiplayer VR activities with Photon Voice.”

“Composer/audio editor specializing in longform picture-driven music edits and mixes, with TV credits including the comedy series "Crossing Swords." Experienced blending diegetic jazz with suspenseful orchestral scoring, building seamless transitions with stingers/silence, and using Cubase templates plus iZotope RX-driven dialogue integration for high-retention web/advertising content; based in Portland, OR and seeking remote work around $70k.”

“Gameplay programmer with hands-on Unreal Engine multiplayer shooter experience, notably overhauling aiming/ADS using Enhanced Input and curve-table-driven response curves plus subtle aim assist. Demonstrates strong networking judgment (client-side prediction vs server authority for anti-cheat) and a systems mindset, adding automation/analytics to speed iteration and improve decision-making.”

“Veteran Unity game developer with extensive multiplayer networking experience (Photon PUN2/Quantum/Fusion, Unity Netcode), including work on Payday: Crime War and an in-development arena battler using Invector + PUN2. Also builds cloud backends for Unity titles (Azure/PlayFab/Firebase, SQL, CI/CD) and actively uses multiple AI assistants to speed up architecture and implementation.”

“Game economy/progression designer with hands-on ownership of end-to-end systems and live-ops tuning on major mobile titles (Star Trek Fleet Command, Marvel Contest of Champions). Builds spreadsheet-based simulations and telemetry-driven tuning loops to prevent inflation and reduce progression friction, including a multi-iteration optimization that lifted D7 retention ~7% while maintaining monetization targets.”

“Game designer currently leading design on a Mario Party-like party game, owning mode design, economy, and meta-progression. Uses playtests and A/B tests to tune fairness-focused systems (e.g., dynamic power-ups accounting for player standing and turn order) and prototypes quickly in UE5 Blueprints. Previously shipped a mixed-reality version of Knockout League’s Knockout Alley mode for a Quest 3-aligned release.”

“Solo developer who shipped an Android game (Master Caster) built around touch gesture recognition (P$ algorithm) and data-driven potion/ingredient systems using JSON/dictionaries. Has hands-on experience optimizing Unity projects for mobile constraints (framerate, heat/battery) using techniques directly applicable to VR, and is actively porting the game to VR in Unreal with a focus on accessibility and room/standing/seated play modes.”

“AI/ML infrastructure-focused engineer who has built production RAG systems from scratch (Supabase/pgvector + OpenAI embeddings) and iterated using formal eval metrics to improve retrieval quality. Also debugged real-time audio issues in a LiveKit-based pipeline by correlating packet loss with VAD behavior, and has deep experience building brittle, customer-specific financial platform integrations in Python/Playwright (2FA, redirects, token refresh, rate limits).”

“Gameplay animator with shipped console/PC experience on Warner Bros. Games’ MultiVersus, focused on character emotes, cinematics, and gameplay tickets. Recently implemented a realistic “semi-cinematic” interaction sequence in UE5 (camera easing, spline-guided movement with partial player control, motion-matching locomotion, montage/notify sync, and cloth + joint animation), and is comfortable owning the full Maya-to-UE implementation loop.”

“Game/technical designer with live-service ownership at Wargaming (World of Tanks) driving KPI-based monthly events and engagement loops via data-informed reward tuning. Recently shipped Batman Arkham Shadow by automating a narrative pipeline that converted script-graph dialogue into a string library, cutting weeks of work down to hours under aggressive deadlines. Experienced rapid prototyping in UE4 (including AI-driven mode logic) and cross-functional alignment practices.”

“Game developer with 13 years in the games industry who built a Unity VR feature using machine learning to recognize player-drawn spell symbols, training an accurate neural network from an existing dataset and solving tricky screen-space/world-space input constraints. Actively uses AI assistants for targeted code snippets and code review while emphasizing understanding over "vibe coding," and is interested in expanding into multiplayer/networking.”

“Gameplay/network systems developer with shipped experience at Narsun Studios and Volition, including end-to-end ownership of a custom multiplayer session system for a VR title built on Unreal Online Subsystem with dedicated servers on AWS GameLift and PlayFab backend. Strong in profiling-driven optimization, scalability/load testing, and data-driven progression/balance (GAS), with telemetry-led changes that improved retention by ~20%.”

“Unity developer with deep GPU compute experience who shipped a web-deployed CAD-style app requiring real-time mesh manipulation, solving performance and browser memory-limit issues via compute shaders and mesh chunking. Built an independent Unity gravity simulation using Schwarzschild approximation and geodesic integration, and has also worked on game-engine threading/job-queue architecture using AI-assisted workflows.”

“Game QA tester/designer hybrid with hands-on Unreal Engine 5 technical debugging experience, focused on NPC AI navigation and performance. At Lantern Tower Games (Telmahre), owned end-to-end quality for an NPC system (dynamic navmesh, moving platforms, EQS, actor pooling), using Unreal Insights and asset reference refactors (hard->soft + async loading) to resolve critical memory/performance issues while collaborating closely with engineering and level design in Scrum.”

“Game economy designer with experience on live F2P mobile titles including Jurassic World: The Game and Ubisoft’s NFL Primetime Fantasy. Built and tuned virtual currency/market systems end-to-end, using Excel simulations and analytics dashboards to forecast progression, prevent inflation, and iteratively improve engagement, retention, and player satisfaction in live ops contexts. Based in Montreal (East Coast) and seeking ~80k CAD; not able to relocate to the Pacific.”

“Computer science capstone project: built a UE5 VR campus virtual-tour simulator using Blueprint scripting, including trigger-box interactions that display building/department info. Spent significant time in QA/playtesting to reduce motion sickness and improve UX, and handled a challenging asset pipeline by converting/optimizing high-detail AutoCAD/scan-derived building models via Blender—ultimately creating a custom plugin to help with conversion.”
