Absurd Ventures
We are seeking a Senior NPC/Gameplay Engineer to build game features that bring characters to life in Unreal Engine 5. You will work on how both the player and NPCs behave: how they move, act, react, and interact with the world and with each other, and how those behaviors turn into believable, responsive animation on screen. This role sits where NPC behavior, gameplay, and animation meet. You will work across a wide range of Unreal systems and partner closely with animators and designers to take a feature from idea to polished, in-game result. The ideal candidate cares as much about how a character looks and feels while doing something as about the logic that made it happen.
