Senior Unreal Engine Developer

Consulting – Senior Developer / Lead Developer (Unreal Engine): 7+ Years’

Experience

Your Key Responsibilities

 Design, develop and maintain Unreal Engine 5 applications for immersive experiences, digital twins, photorealistic environments, data visualization and enterprise-grade real-time platforms.

 Build robust gameplay, interaction and visualization systems using C++ and Blueprint Visual Scripting, with clean architecture, reusable components and production-quality standards.

 Develop touchscreen, multi-screen, nDisplay and Pixel Streaming experiences for executive demos, command centers, experience zones and client-facing innovation environments.

 Integrate Unreal experiences with live IoT feeds, REST APIs, MQTT, WebSockets, backend services and enterprise data sources to enable real-time, data-driven visualization.

 Create cinematic storytelling experiences using Sequencer, virtual cameras, camera animation, lighting, color grading and narrative-driven scene composition.

 Implement high-quality rendering using Lumen, Nanite, Ray Tracing, Substrate and advanced lighting techniques for photorealistic and performance-aware environments.

 Author advanced materials using Unreal Material Editor, Master Materials, Material Functions and HLSL where required for scalable, optimized and visually consistent asset libraries.

 Develop Niagara VFX, procedural animation, vehicle or mechanical animation, physics-based interactions and simulation-driven movement as required by project needs.

 Work with Anim Blueprints, State Machines, Blend Spaces, Control Rig, IK Rig, IK Retargeter and Motion Warping for character, mechanical and interactive animation workflows.

 Optimize performance using Unreal Insights, GPU Visualizer, profiling tools, asset optimization, skeletal mesh optimization, memory budgets and platform-specific tuning.

 Automate editor and asset pipeline workflows using Python, Editor Utility Blueprints and tooling to improve productivity, consistency and release readiness.

 Collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor junior developers, review technical work, manage delivery tasks and support high-quality execution across immersive technology programs.
