Principal Unreal Engineer

We're working with a fast-growing technology company building enterprise-grade Extended Reality solutions for some of the world's most recognised organisations. They're scaling their engineering organisation and need a senior Unreal Engine leader to take ownership of their core platform, tooling, and content pipelines.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll define the engineering strategy for real-time 3D systems, lead a multidisciplinary team of engineers and technical artists, and shape how the entire organisation builds and delivers XR experiences at scale.

You'll be working on a product that genuinely matters — the work here lands inside global enterprises, not on a shelf.

What you'll be doing: owning the technical roadmap for a large-scale Unreal Engine platform, building and mentoring high-performance engineering teams, driving architectural decisions across content pipelines, internal tooling, and platform infrastructure, and partnering with product and commercial leadership to align engineering with business goals.

What you'll bring: deep Unreal Engine experience (UE5 strongly preferred), a track record of leading engineering teams through complexity and growth, strong fundamentals in real-time 3D systems and large-scale production environments, and the ability to communicate clearly at executive level without losing the technical detail.
