Being Epic means being a part of a team that continually strives to do right by our community and users. We’re constantly innovating to raise the bar of engine and game development.
Driving the plug-in power behind Unreal Engine 5. We bridge connections for licensees and our own internal game teams to online services.

You will also build the tools and APIs for creators using the Unreal Engine Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). You will help improve the Unreal Engine by building new tools and APIs that will be utilized by AAA game developers. These systems are cross-platform, and you will be working with various hardware platforms, from desktop to all the consoles (PlayStation / Xbox / Nintendo) to mobile. Your primary focus will be on the client and the dedicated server code, but you will partner closely with backend service teams as well as game teams, ensuring that the underlying systems that are built are full featured, resilient, and secure.
