Unreal Engine Gameplay Programmer - Virtual Reality Training and Simulation

THIS ROLE IS 100% ON SITE IN MUNICH. NO REMOTE OR HYBRID OPTION. THIS IS NON NEGOTIABLE.

The opportunity

We are hiring an experienced Unreal Engine Gameplay Programmer to join a specialist team building high end virtual reality training applications. This role sits at the heart of immersive simulation development, focused on creating believable mechanics, intuitive VR interactions, and robust gameplay systems that allow users to practice complex real world procedures in a safe, controlled environment.

Your work will directly influence how effective, realistic, and scalable these VR training experiences are.

What's on offer

  • A chance to work within a fast growing international technology business operating at the cutting edge of VR
  • Genuine ownership over technical decisions and system design
  • Flat structure with quick decision making and minimal bureaucracy
  • A collaborative, forward thinking culture with ambitious technical goals
  • Flexible working hours, while remaining fully on site in Munich
  • A highly motivated multidisciplinary team spanning engineering, art, and design

What you'll be doing

  • Architecting and developing scalable gameplay systems using C++ within Unreal Engine 5
  • Implementing core mechanics including weapons systems, projectiles, physics driven interactions, multiplayer features, and replay functionality
  • Designing and refining VR specific interactions such as precise object handling and responsive user input
  • Working closely with artists, animators, and technical artists to deliver polished characters, environments, and interactive elements for training scenarios
  • Ensuring strong performance and stability across VR and networked multiplayer use cases
  • Building systems to capture learning data, user behaviour, and performance metrics inside VR experiences
  • Writing clean, maintainable, and well documented code aligned with internal best practices
  • Supporting and mentoring less experienced engineers, contributing to overall team growth
  • Keeping up with Unreal Engine updates and modern gameplay programming techniques

What we're looking for

  • Around 3 to 5 years of professional experience in gameplay programming or a closely related role
  • Strong C++ skills with real production experience
  • Solid hands on knowledge of Unreal Engine, ideally Unreal Engine 5, and its gameplay architecture
  • Practical experience using Blueprints for prototyping and gameplay logic alongside C++
  • Strong math fundamentals and a problem solving mindset
  • Previous experience working on networked or multiplayer projects
  • Comfortable using version control systems such as Git or Perforce
  • Confident communicator with excellent English, able to collaborate across disciplines
  • A genuine interest in building high quality, realistic VR simulations rather than purely entertainment focused games

If this sounds like something you'd genuinely enjoy working on and you're excited by building high quality VR experiences on site in Munich, apply now or reach out directly
