Your Role at Novaverse

We are looking for an Unreal Engine Developer with strong C++ coding skills, expertise in Blueprints, and a background (or strong interest) in architectural visualization to join our dynamic team. This role also involves integrating real-time systems with databases (e.g., Firebase), creating or integrating CMS solutions, and implementing Pixel Streaming

What You’ll Do

• Implement and optimize gameplay mechanics, interactive features, and custom tools within Unreal Engine using both C++ and Blueprints.
• Develop efficient pipelines and workflows to handle real-time rendering for architectural visualization projects.
• Design and implement CMS systems or integrate existing CMS solutions to manage real-time data and content dynamically.
• Set up and maintain database connections using services like Firebase (or similar) for data synchronization and user authentication.
• Develop and maintain APIs or data pipelines to ensure smooth communication between Unreal Engine and external services.
• Implement and maintain Pixel Streaming solutions for real-time, high-fidelity remote rendering and interactive experiences.
• Optimize network and server configurations to deliver a seamless user experience across different devices and platforms.
• Work closely with designers, artists, and other engineers to deliver high-quality features on schedule.
• Conduct regular code reviews and blueprint reviews to maintain code quality and consistency.
• Troubleshoot and resolve performance bottlenecks, bugs, and other technical issues across both local and cloud-streamed experiences.
• Stay current with the latest Unreal Engine features, architectural visualization trends, and emerging technologies like VR/AR.
• Investigate new tools, plugins, or processes to improve workflows and project results, including cloud-based services and Pixel Streaming solutions.
• Maintain clear technical documentation for systems and workflows.
• Utilize version control systems (e.g., Git, Perforce) to manage code and assets.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Game Development, Architecture, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
• 2+ years of professional experience in Unreal Engine development (Architectural Visualization background preferred).
• Proficiency in C++ for Unreal Engine (gameplay programming, engine modifications, plugin development).
• Expertise in Unreal Engine Blueprints (designing, debugging, and optimizing blueprint graphs).
• Experience with 3D modeling software (e.g., 3ds Max, Maya, Blender) and file formats (FBX, OBJ).
• Familiarity with architecture-specific tools (e.g., Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino) is a plus.
• Proven experience with database integration, ideally Firebase or other cloud-based services.
• Knowledge of CMS systems and APIs for data-driven content.
• Pixel Streaming setup and optimization experience.
• Competence in version control systems like Git or Perforce.
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills, able to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and deliver features on time.
• Prior experience in VR/AR development, desirable

What We Offer

• Competitive salary, equity and benefits package.
• Opportunities to work on cutting-edge, high-visibility projects in architectural visualization and interactive systems.
• A collaborative, creative work environment with room for innovation and growth.
• The chance to influence project direction and improve overall pipeline efficiency.
• Regular team outings and studio socials
• Monthly wellness budget to support physical and mental wellbeing
• Ongoing training, development, and progression opportunities
