Blackbird Interactive is a creative-fueled, future-driven, independent game studio where the best talent in the industry can find long-term careers to help grow their abilities while working on a wide range of projects, which encompass world-class IPs as well as our own creations across multiple genres.

In 2022, we announced that our studio is implementing a four-day work week as well as supporting in-studio, remote within Canada, and hybrid work arrangements as permanent options to our employees.

Blackbird Interactive would like to connect with intermediate‑level gameplay engineers to design, implement, and polish the moment‑to‑moment fun in our Unreal Engine 5 projects. You’ll own features from prototype through ship, collaborate with designers and artists, and help mentor newer engineers while expanding your own mastery of UE5’s systems.

Interested in connecting? Please submit an application, letting us know when you’re next available. From there, if your profile is a good match, we will be in touch with more information.

Your experience should showcase:

  • Solid C++ in Unreal Engine 4/5 with 3+ years of professional game‑development experience
  • Shipped at least one commercial title or substantial live‑ops update featuring your gameplay work
  • Demonstrated rapid iteration, data‑driven design, and balancing creative intent with technical realities
  • Ability to communicate across disciplines and give constructive feedback in code reviews
  • Comfortable with Perforce, Git, or similar version‑control systems and modern debugging/profiling tools
