Role you're checking

Unreal Engine Developer

Technology

Unreal Engine Developers write C++ gameplay systems and Blueprint visual scripts that run AAA titles, cinematic virtual productions, and architectural visualizations in Unreal Engine 5. Day-to-day spans implementing Gameplay Ability System (GAS) abilities, authoring Nanite-enabled levels with World Partition streaming, integrating MetaHuman characters, building Niagara VFX systems, and configuring Lumen global illumination for both game and virtual-production LED-volume pipelines (nDisplay + ICVFX). In India the role concentrates at Lakshya Digital (Pune — world's largest game art outsourcing studio, with a growing tech team), DNEG India / dnegX (Mumbai, Chennai — virtual production on Netflix/Disney LED-volume shoots), Rockstar India (Bengaluru + Bhubaneswar), Sumo Group India (Pune + Chennai), EA Hyderabad, Ubisoft India (Pune), Epic Games India (partner and dev-relations team), and a cluster of indie and mid-size studios shipping Unreal PC/console titles. The role demands C++ fluency beyond Unity's C# comfort zone, Perforce discipline (UGS workflows on large depot branches), and mathematical depth (linear algebra for rendering, quaternion interpolation for animation, collision geometry). Practitioner count in India is far smaller than Unity — fewer than 3,000 production-grade Unreal C++ engineers — creating a structural scarcity premium at the senior level.
