Full job description

Who We Are

At Cast Iron Games, we build technically ambitious games in a calm, focused environment, where every team member has a voice. Based in Tileyard North, we collaborate with high quality partners on high-quality projects, guided by clarity, consistency, and mutual respect.

We’re a young and growing studio, but our team is made up of experienced developers who’ve worked across AAA and independent titles. Together, we’re building a supportive, balanced environment where great work happens without crunch.

The Role

As a Senior Unreal Programmer, you'll be a key contributor on our engineering team, trusted to scope, implement, and maintain complex game or engine-level features. You'll collaborate across disciplines, support less experienced developers, and help shape the technical direction of the project through your initiative and experience.

You'll write clean, performant C++ code and Blueprints and be expected to deeply understand the systems you work on — from replication and architecture to profiling and debugging.

Responsibilities

Own the development of large systems or features within Unreal 5
Write clean, maintainable code using both C++ and Blueprints
Collaborate closely with design, art, and production to ensure implementation aligns with projects goals
Contribute to planning and task breakdowns with accurate estimates
Proactively identify technical risks or design issues, and work with leads to resolve them
Provide mentorship and code reviews for junior and mid-level engineers
Optimise systems for performance, scalability, and platform constraints
Write and improve internal documentation, tools, pipelines where needed

What We’re Looking For

Technical Experience

Strong experience working with Unreal 4 or 5 in a production environment
Proficiency in C++, Blueprints, and Unrealʼs component-based architecture
Experience owning significant game systems, tools and tech subsystems
Understanding of replication, memory/performance profiling, and debugging workflows
Able to balance short-term priorities with long-term code maintainability
Comfortable using Perforce or similar source control, and task/bug tracking tools such as Jira

Ways of Working

Comfortable working independently, scoping and delivering complex features
Proactive in raising blockers, discussing trade-offs and offering solutions
Supportive of teammates through reviews, pairing and knowledge sharing
Communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical collaborators
Passionate about quality, clarity and making others more effective

Bonus Points

Familiarity with AI, animation systems, or physics frameworks in Unreal 5
Experience with multiplayer systems and networking in Unreal
Shipped a title using Unreal 4 or 5 on console such as Xbox, PlayStation, Switch
Built tooling or automation to support QA and build processes

Why Cast Iron Games

A people-first studio with a clear focus on craft, clarity, and collaboration
A high-trust team where experience is valued and voices are heard
A respectful, experienced team with a strong engineering culture
The opportunity to ship performance-optimised, cross-platform games youʼre proud of
Projects that offer real variety. Different game engines, new challenges, constant growth
Creative surroundings at Tileyard North, with a supportive creative community
Competitive salary, flexible hours and professional development support
Opportunities to lead with clarity, autonomy, and real impact
No crunch. No egos. Just good code, good people and good games

What to Expect / Key Benefits

Start your day any time between 8:00am and 10:00am
35 working hours per week with a 1-hour lunch break (with the opportunity to flex down to 30 minutes or up to 2 hours)
