We're building something new - and we want you in on it from the ground floor.

SkyBox Labs is assembling a fresh team for an exciting AAA co-development title, and we're looking for a Senior Gameplay Software Engineer to help shape it from day one.

You'll be at the heart of crafting gameplay experiences that players around the world will remember. Using UE5's cutting-edge toolset and your own deep technical chops, you'll tackle meaty architectural and performance challenges - the kind that make this job interesting. If you're energized by collaboration, love pushing engines to their limits, and want a real hand in building something from scratch, let's talk.

This team works in a hybrid capacity, with three days a week at our studio in Burnaby, BC.

• 6+ years of professional C++ experience in the video game industry, with a solid track record navigating tight performance and memory constraints
• Deep, multi-year hands-on expertise in UE5 - a shipped commercial UE5 title is a big plus
• A strong background in gameplay engineering, with real understanding of core player loops, mechanics, and system architecture
• Great communication skills and comfort collaborating across design, art, and production to work through complex problems
• Sharp analytical instincts and the flexibility to adapt your architecture as projects evolve

Bonus points if you bring specialized experience in:

• AI & Combat - advanced AI behaviors, combat systems, spatial/navigation grids
• Content & World Systems - encounter design, mission structures, large-scale world/streaming systems
• Metagame & UX - progression systems, gameplay economy loops, technical UI implementation
• Leadership - experience as a technical lead, pod lead, or mentor to junior/mid-level engineers
