We need a Netcode / Multiplayer Engineer to build and run the multiplayer side of our co-op horde shooter. You'll handle horde replication at scale, player state synchronization, and keeping our decontamination-grid systems responsive under real network conditions.

You'll:

• Design and implement replication systems for large numbers of concurrent AI enemies
• Handle player state sync across co-op sessions
• Diagnose and fix latency issues tied to core gameplay systems (decontamination grid, combat state)
• Work closely with gameplay programmers so netcode and game feel stay in sync

You have:

• Proven experience shipping networked multiplayer systems (Unreal Engine strongly preferred)
• Deep understanding of replication, prediction, and lag compensation techniques
• Comfortable in a small, fast-moving studio where you're responsible for your systems from start to finish

We're hiring two Gameplay / Combat Programmers to build how the game actually plays: weapon handling, movement, and the zombie AI behind our horde encounters.

You'll:

• Implement weapon and spray-mechanic systems that feel tight and responsive
• Build and tune player movement systems
• Develop zombie AI pathing and behavior for horde-scale encounters
• Work with design on combat balance and pacing

You have:

• Shipped gameplay systems in Unreal Engine (C++ and/or Blueprints)
• A strong feel for third/first-person shooter combat tuning
• Experience with AI pathing/behavior systems at scale is a plus

Our game pairs a cel-shaded look with a companion 2D cartoon, and we need a Technical Artist to keep that look consistent and performant across the game. This role covers cel-shading, VFX, and custom shader work.

You'll:

• Build and maintain our cel-shading and stylized post-processing pipeline
• Create "cleaning" and combat VFX that fit the game's tone
• Develop custom shaders in Unreal Engine 5
• Keep our visuals consistent with our external animation studio's 2D style

You have:

• Strong shader development experience (HLSL / Unreal material graphs)
• A portfolio showing stylized, non-photorealistic rendering work
• Ability to work across art, animation, and external partners

Note: this role currently covers cel-shading, VFX, and stylistic continuity solo, so expect a broad scope early on.

We're looking for two 3D Character Artists to model our player characters and monster roster, translating 2D cartoon designs into finished 3D models. One position focuses on the player roster, the other on the zombie/monster catalog.

You'll:

• Sculpt and model characters from 2D concept references
• Stay faithful to the source cartoon's art direction
• Work closely with our Technical Animators/Riggers on topology and deformation needs
• Iterate with the Technical Artist on shading and material application

You have:

• Strong sculpting and modeling skills (ZBrush, Maya, or equivalent)
• Experience translating 2D/stylized concept art into 3D
• A portfolio with character work, creature work, or both

We're hiring two 3D Environment / Prop Artists to build the world of our co-op horde shooter: modular architecture, environmental storytelling through "clean vs. dirty" texturing, and the props that fill our open-world spaces.

You'll:

• Build modular architecture kits for level construction
• Develop clean/dirty texture variants to support environmental storytelling
• Model and texture open-world props
• Work from a signed-off style guide to keep zones visually consistent

You have:

• Strong environment/prop modeling and texturing skills
• Experience building modular kits for game levels
• Comfortable working within an established style guide

Our horde-shooter combat needs a large library of animation states across players and monster variants. We're hiring two Technical Animators/Riggers to build the skeletal and animation pipeline that supports it.

You'll:

• Build skeletal rigs and skin weighting for players and monster variants
• Develop locomotion cycles and get them working cleanly in-engine
• Support heavy animation-state needs: running, strafing, spraying, aiming, hit reactions, deaths
• Work closely with Character Artists on rig-friendly topology

You have:

• Strong rigging and skinning experience (Maya or equivalent)
• Experience with in-engine animation pipelines (Unreal Engine preferred)
• Comfortable supporting a large roster of animated variants

We're looking for a Systems / Combat Designer to design the core loops of our co-op horde shooter: weapon balance, decontamination pacing, and the co-op systems that hold horde encounters together.

You'll:

• Balance weapon systems and combat encounters
• Design and tune decontamination-grid pacing
• Build and iterate on co-op gameplay loops
• Partner with engineering on implementation and with the founder/design lead on level-design integration

You have:

• Experience designing systems and balancing combat in a shipped or in-development game
• A strong grasp of co-op design patterns
• Comfortable in a small team without a dedicated level design partner at first

We're hiring an Audio Implementer / Sound Designer to build the sound of our co-op horde shooter, from dynamic spatial audio to weapon response, and to handle implementation in-engine.

You'll:

• Design and implement dynamic, spatial audio systems
• Create weapon and combat response sound design
• Run audio implementation in Unreal Engine from start to finish
• Work with gameplay and combat design on audio feedback loops

You have:

• Experience with in-engine audio implementation (Wwise, FMOD, or Unreal's native audio tools)
• A strong sound design portfolio
• Comfortable being the only audio person on a small team
