About the role
The Opportunity
Join 20+ industry veterans at Ironbelly Studios (300+ delivered projects) creating a groundbreaking FPS that's redefining player ownership in gaming. We're building tournament-grade multiplayer systems for a revolutionary FPS that combines hardcore competitive gameplay with true digital economies.
This is a gameplay-first shootger with sustainable player-owned economies, built by developers who've shaped the biggest franchises in gaming.
Are you ready to dive deep into UE5's core systems?
We are seeking a versatile and experienced Unreal Generalist Engineer to be a technical backbone for our highly anticipated UE5 FPS Shooter. This isn't just about implementing features; you'll be instrumental in optimizing a mature codebase, touching everything from core engine architecture to high-impact gameplay systems. If you thrive on technical challenges and want to ship a best-in-class multiplayer experience, this is your chance.
Your Mission
As a Generalist, you’ll be empowered to jump into a wide variety of challenges and own critical systems:
- System Ownership: Design, develop, and maintain systems across multiple game disciplines, including Gameplay, Rendering, Audio, and UI.
- Performance & Optimization: Identify bottlenecks and perform low-level optimization of performance and memory usage across PC and Console platforms.
- Integration & Tools: Integrate third-party middleware and build essential tools/editor extensions to empower our content creators and streamline workflows.
- Pipeline & CI/CD: Maintain and evolve our build automation and deployment pipelines.
- Architecture: Contribute to technical design, architecture decisions, and participate in comprehensive code reviews.
- Collaborate: Partner closely with designers, artists, and other engineers to solve complex, interdisciplinary technical problems.
What You Bring
Required:
- 5+ years of professional experience developing with Unreal Engine (UE4/UE5).
- Exceptional C++ programming skills coupled with broad knowledge of the Unreal Engine source code.
- Proven ability to work effectively across multiple game systems and disciplines.
- Successfully shipped at least 2 commercial games in an engineering role.
- Experience with multiplayer game development concepts (replication, network optimization).
- Proficiency with modern version control systems (e.g., Perforce, Git).
- Deep debugging and advanced problem-solving capabilities.
Bonus Points:
- Specific experience with low-level rendering systems or graphics programming.
- Familiarity with industry-standard audio systems and middleware integration.
- Prior experience with platform-specific optimization (PC/Console).
- Background in developing custom UE Editor tools and extensions.
Why Ironbelly Studios?
The Team: Work alongside decorated veterans who've helped build Call of Duty, Halo, Bioshock, PUBG, and Batman. Our Montreal studio brings together talent that's shaped gaming history.
The Impact: This isn't maintaining existing systems - you're building multiplayer architecture from the ground up for a game that will define a new genre of player-owned competitive gaming.
The Culture: Trust-based, data-driven, and autonomous. We value continuous improvement and high-quality craftsmanship in a collaborative environment.
Location
This is a hybrid / remote role based in Montreal, Quebec. We're building a centralized team in one of gaming's most vibrant cities. Local candidates or those willing to relocate will be prioritized but all are welcome
About Ironbelly Studios
Ironbelly Studios is comprised of a talented, passionate and dedicated number of game developers from all corners of the globe. Our focus is on creating high quality entertainment experiences as well as providing outsourcing services at a fraction of the cost seen elsewhere.
