• Experience with Unreal Engine 4 (preferable) and C++Able to create tutorials, guides, or other important documentation for more junior staff members
• Able to architect systems that consider the perspective of the wider team
• Lead by example, through your work other engineers should understand best practices
• Able to work independently without guidance from code leadership
• Driven to excel and improve themselves and the team around them
• Communicative and insightful about the project and the challenges
