Unreal Engine 5 Developer (Remote, Hourly)

We're building ASCEND, an open-world survival RPG in Unreal Engine 5. We're looking for an Unreal developer to help build the game world and the systems that run in it. This is hands-on Unreal work, not web or app work.

Responsibilities
Build playable levels in Unreal Engine 5, from blockout to finished area
Sculpt and paint landscapes, and set up terrain materials and foliage
Build gameplay systems in Blueprints, and in C++ where it's needed
Set up characters: movement, animation blueprints, state machines, and input
Place workplace assets, and set up lighting with Lumen and Nanite
Keep the game running smoothly: profile the scene, fix frame rate drops, use LODs and level streaming on large maps
Import and set up assets from Fab and other sources (meshes, materials, animations)
Package builds for Windows and fix crashes and bugs that come up
Keep the project tidy in version control (Git or Perforce) so work can be shared without breaking things

Requirements
Real, shipped experience in Unreal Engine 5 (share a project, video,



or playable build)
Robust with Blueprints, and able to read and follow a project someone else set up
Comfortable with Unreal's landscape tools, foliage tools, and material editor
Knows how to use Git or Perforce with an Unreal project
Can work on your own, in a small team, and give short progress updates
Positive enough English for written chat

Nice to have
Unreal C++, or Blueprints
Open-world or survival game experience
World Partition, level streaming, or big-map optimization
Gameplay Ability System, AI behaviour trees, inventory or crafting systems
Basic 3D work in Blender for small fixes

To apply, send a link to your Unreal work, one or two sentences about the biggest Unreal project you've done, your hourly rate, and how many hours a week you're free. Pay: From $20.00 per hour

Expected hours: 30.0 per week
