Senior Unreal Engine / C++ Engineer (Graphics / XR Lead)
UK Remote
We’re working with a studio recognised for high-quality Unreal engineering and real-time XR environments used across broadcast, sport and live events. Their digital twins, interactive visuals and data-driven systems are well regarded for clarity, performance and on-screen accuracy. They’re expanding the team and hiring a Senior Unreal Engine / C++ Engineer to support a growing mix of creative and technical projects. If you enjoy purposeful C++ work and building reusable Unreal modules that get used across multiple productions, this Senior Unreal Engine / C++ Engineer role will suit you well.
The role
As a Senior Unreal Engine / C++ Engineer, you’ll lead the development of real-time visuals across XR features, broadcast output and simulator environments. This is hands-on C++ and Unreal work: shaping technical foundations, building modules that are used repeatedly across productions, and ensuring the final on-screen result behaves as expected. You’ll guide junior contributors, review code and Blueprints, and help maintain consistency across different projects.
What you’ll work on
* C++ and Blueprint development in Unreal• Plugins, data-driven visuals and asset integration
* Standardised AR, VR and simulator modules
* Adapting systems for branding, layouts and sponsor requirements
* Working closely with technical and art teams
* Reviewing Unreal work from junior developers
* Testing new Unreal features and XR techniques

* Strong professional Unreal Engine experience (UE4/UE5)
* Advanced C++ for real-time or graphics-focused systems
* Experience building Unreal plugins
* Confident Blueprint skills
* Ability to improve lighting, materials and rendering performance
* Experience creating AR, VR or XR features
* Comfortable integrating live data into a real-time pipeline
Nice to have
* Experience in real-time broadcast environments
* Experience with AR tracking or XR compositing workflows
* Motion design exposure
* Experience adapting visuals for different brands or layouts
* Prototype-driven R&D experience
* Ability to create tools that reduce bespoke work
* Confidence supporting show-critical moments on site or remotely
What’s in it for you
As a Senior Unreal Engine / C++ Engineer, you’ll get:
* Work that reaches real productions across sport, broadcast and live events
* The chance to build reusable Unreal modules that influence multiple projects
* A steady environment that values clarity, predictable behaviour and solid engineering
* Input into how XR tools, plugins and digital twins are shaped and improved
* Room to test new Unreal features and explore approaches that strengthen the pipeline
* Collaboration with technical and art teams who care about performance and visual accuracy
* Projects that keep your Unreal and C++ skills sharp across a wide mix of scenarios
This Senior Unreal Engine / C++ Engineer position is ideal if you want your work to reach real productions, enjoy improving performance and building tools that make a lasting difference across multiple projects.
