Senior Game Engineer (Unreal) Role Overview We’re looking for a Senior Game Engineer (Unreal) to join our small, passionate team building an upcoming mobile adventure game, backed by Supercell and built in Unreal Engine …
Skills: Unreal Engine 5, C++, Blueprint, Game Architecture, Mobile Game Development
Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will build and own game features in Unreal Engine using C++ and Blueprint while shaping the technical foundations for a mobile live-service game. You will collaborate closely with design and engineering teams to ensure performant, maintainable, and scalable solutions.
The role requires significant professional game development experience with deep expertise in Unreal Engine, C++, and Blueprint. Candidates must demonstrate strong architectural judgment, a player-first mindset, and the ability to work effectively in a lean, high-ownership environment.
We’re looking for a Senior Game Engineer (Unreal) to join our small, passionate team building an upcoming mobile adventure game, backed by Supercell and built in Unreal Engine 5.
This is a hands-on engineering role with significant ownership. You’ll move between building game features that turn design ideas into responsive, polished player experiences and designing the underlying systems that those features are built on. Where you focus at any given time will depend on what the game needs. These foundations need to hold up as the project grows, so that it can scale and evolve as a mobile live-service experience.
We’re looking for someone with deep Unreal experience and strong technical judgment. You should know how to make sound architectural decisions while staying focused on what the game needs - building robust foundations without adding unnecessary complexity. You’ll be expected to identify risks early and make pragmatic decisions appropriate for the stage of the project.
You’ll also have influence beyond your own implementation. You’ll work closely with other engineers, help shape technical approaches across the project, and bring enough breadth to understand how different parts of the game fit together.
We’re a small, early-stage team and intend to remain lean. You’ll need to be comfortable taking an ambiguous problem, creating the structure you need, and getting it moving without layers of process or people around you.
If you enjoy building games hands-on while helping a small team make stronger technical decisions, this is an opportunity to have a significant impact at an early stage.
Build and own game features in Unreal Engine using C++ and Blueprint, from early implementation through iteration and polish.
Design and evolve game systems that support areas such as player state, progression, persistence, content and other interconnected game features.
Work closely with design to translate game ideas into solutions that feel good for players, are technically sound underneath, and can evolve as we learn what makes the game better.
Comfortable moving between feature work and systems work, with the judgment to understand what a problem requires and where the right level of technical investment sits.
Make architectural decisions and help shape technical approaches, standards and patterns across the Unreal codebase.
Identify technical debt and risk, making pragmatic calls on what should be addressed now versus later.
Work closely with other engineers through technical discussions, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
Help the team make effective use of Unreal Engine and its native systems.
Evaluate and improve performance, stability and scalability for a mobile target.
Collaborate effectively across technical boundaries, including the game client, backend services, gameplay implementation, technical art and external engineering partners.
Significant professional game development experience, with deep hands-on expertise in Unreal Engine, C++ and Blueprint.
Experience building and shipping both player-facing features and foundational game systems on one or more Unreal titles.
Strong architectural and systems thinking, with a player-first mindset - you know how to build the right technical foundation for the experience without under-engineering what needs to scale or over-engineering what doesn’t.
Strong Unreal-specific judgment and a pragmatic approach to technical trade-offs - you know when to work with the engine, when to extend it, when a custom solution is justified, and when “good enough” is the right call.
Comfortable thinking across the wider technical picture of a game, even when you are not the person implementing every layer.
A confident, collaborative communicator who can explain technical decisions clearly, challenge approaches constructively, and work through disagreement productively.
Comfortable taking ownership of loosely defined problems and moving them forward without waiting for perfect specifications or established processes.
Comfortable adapting as we iterate on the game, learn from players, and refine what we build.
Open and proactive about using AI-assisted development tools. Prior experience is valuable, but willingness to actively adopt and explore them as part of your day-to-day workflow is expected.
Experience mentoring, pairing with, or informally guiding other engineers.
Experience with procedural or generative content systems in Unreal.
Experience shipping or scaling a live-service game.
Mobile game development and performance optimization experience, including profiling, memory, rendering and device constraints.
Remote-first team setup with flexible hours and async-friendly communication.
A Supercell-backed core game development team where your work and technical decisions have a direct impact on the product.
Meaningful ownership over interesting technical challenges in a small, high-trust team.
We’re open to candidates across the EU, UK and Canada, with a strong preference for candidates based in Finland or Canada. All team members work remotely regardless of location.
