Profile and optimise gameplay code to target platform budgets — CPU frame time, tick overhead, replication cost
Write code that is reviewable: clean, commented where logic is non-obvious, consistent with project standards
Catch and fix gameplay bugs — including edge cases, exploit patterns, and regression from live updates
Participate actively in code review: review peers' PRs with specificity, receive and act on feedback without defensiveness
Work directly with gameplay designers to translate design intent into engine behaviour — close the gap between what is specced and what ships
Identify implementation risks in design briefs early — before they become rework — and propose alternatives when the spec is not buildable as written
Expose gameplay parameters to designers in a way that is tunable without engineering involvement (Blueprint exposed properties, Datatable-driven tuning, etc.)
Document systems clearly — architecture decisions, integration points, known limitations
Support technical handoffs between phases or teams: leave the codebase in a state that the next engineer can understand without a phone call
Online multiplayer systems — Actor replication, GameplayEffects replication, ability prediction and correction
Console platform experience: certification pipelines, platform-specific constraints
Gameplay AI systems in UE5: Behavior Trees, EQS, AI Perception — not required but valuable for certain engagements
Prior co-development or external development experience
External game development and production management for global studios.
