Aethagon is looking for a Senior Game Developer who can take a game from concept to launch, and lead the work along the way.

If you're comfortable in both Unity and Unreal, have built multiplayer games, and enjoy owning a project end to end, we'd like to hear from you.

What you'll do

  • Lead development of multiplayer game projects from prototype to release
  • Build gameplay systems, tools, and features in Unity (C#) and Unreal Engine (C++/Blueprints)
  • Make technical decisions on architecture, networking, and performance
  • Plan milestones, manage timelines, and deliver builds on schedule
  • Work with designers and artists, and mentor junior developers where needed
  • Profile, debug, and optimize across target platforms

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years of professional game development experience
  • Hands-on experience with both Unity and Unreal Engine
  • Strong C# and C++ skills
  • Solid multiplayer networking experience: client-server architecture, replication, lag compensation, and server-authoritative gameplay (e.g., Unreal replication, Netcode for GameObjects, Photon, Mirror, or Fish-Net)
  • Experience building first-person gameplay: player controllers, weapon systems, hit detection, and responsive game feel
  • Experience creating atmosphere through dynamic lighting, spatial audio, and post-processing
  • AI programming experience (behavior trees, state machines, navigation)
  • Experience building cooperative gameplay: shared objectives, physics-based object interaction, and player-to-player coordination mechanics
  • Experience supporting both local (couch) and online co-op, including multiple-controller input handling
  • Proven ability to independently lead, manage, and deliver a project from start to finish
  • At least one shipped title or a strong portfolio of completed work
  • Clear communication and ownership of your work

Nice to have

  • Experience with matchmaking, lobbies, and dedicated server hosting
  • Anti-cheat and competitive balancing experience
  • Shipping on PC and console
  • Familiarity with Git or Perforce and CI/CD pipelines

Details

  • Type: Part-time, 30 hours per week
  • Location: Remote
