The Systems You'll Ship:
- Extraction shooter with robust server authority and advanced client prediction
- Complex replication for weapon traces, AI state machines, inventory systems
- Persistent progression with reputation tracking and creator tools
- Material penetration physics and projectile simulation
- Revolutionary player ownership features that empower communities
What You Bring
Required:
- 3+ years multiplayer development with C++ and Unreal Engine
- Proven experience with matchmaking & server systems
- Bachelor's/Master's in CS or equivalent experience
- Strong collaborative skills - you'll work with diverse, agile teams

Why Ironbelly Studios?
The Team: Work alongside decorated veterans who've built Call of Duty, Halo, Bioshock, PUBG, and Batman. Our Montreal studio brings together talent that's shaped gaming history.

The Culture: Trust-based, data-driven, and autonomous. We value continuous improvement and high-quality craftsmanship in a collaborative environment.
The Benefits:
- Shape a blockbuster from day one with senior ownership
- Hybrid Montreal office - collaborate in-person 1-2 days/week
