This is a hands-on role where you’ll be responsible for ensuring our Unreal Engine projects build, ship, and scale reliably—with special attention to modular packaging and protecting Marketplace assets.
What You’ll Do
• Build and maintain Unreal Engine build and deployment systems
• Create and optimize CI/CD pipelines across platforms (Win/Mac/Linux)
• Manage UnrealPak workflows for secure packaging of Marketplace assets
• Set up dynamic downloading of encrypted .pak files at runtime (HTTP)
• Own the end-to-end deployment pipeline from code to build to content delivery
• Solve hard C++ build/linking problems and support plugin and library integration.
You Should Have
• 3–5+ years experience with C++, Unreal Build Tool, and packaging process
• Strong Unreal Engine knowledge (UE4/UE5), especially in build configs
• Proven track record of shipping games or apps with runtime asset loading
• Familiarity with tools like UnrealPak, FHttpModule, MountPakFile
• Experience separating open-source and proprietary content, and protecting Marketplace assets legally and technically (pak file encryption, dynamic downloads, etc.)
• Comfortable working across Windows/Mac/Linux targets
• Bonus: Familiarity with S3, signed URLs, or patching systems.
Example Project You’ll Own
You’ll implement a secure distribution pipeline for an open-source Unreal game, with the ability to:
• Separate core gameplay code from Marketplace content
• Package proprietary levels and assets into encrypted .pak files
• Host them on a CDN/S3 bucket and download/mount at runtime via C++ or Blueprint
• Integrate runtime checks for mounted content and trigger level streaming
