Unreal projects have been leading the pack of real-time entertainment with our constantly growing team of engineering experts. We’re always improving on the tools and technology that empower content developers worldwide.
We're looking for a programmer passionate about audio, and specifically music, for the Audio Gameplay Engineering team, which operates across all of Epic's first-party products, including Unreal Engine, Fortnite, Rocket League, special demos, and more. In this role, you will explore and unlock the future of interactive music creation by developing low-level technologies and high-level tools that allow seasoned game developers, trained composers/musicians, hobbyist creators, and average gamers to create compelling musical content and experiences. You’ll work in collaboration with the Unreal Engine Audio team, Music Content Designers, and Technical Music Designers. Our ideal candidate would be able to draw on a deep knowledge of computer music systems, MIDI, digital signal processing (including synthesis), audio plugins for digital audio workstations, and have experience working in the video game industry, perhaps as an audio programmer on a game team. But even if you can only check a few of those boxes, we want to hear from you! If you are passionate about music and gaming, and are interested in empowering both your fellow devs and end users with tools that allow them to create amazing, interactive, musical experiences, you are the ideal candidate. Come join the team at Epic and let’s build awesome music tech!
This role is open to multiple locations across the US (including WA).
