Lead Programmer (Unreal Engine)

---

Fuero Games is a game studio established in 2012 and specializes in cross-platform (web & mobile) games, and PC games developed on both Unity and Unreal Engine 4. We developed games based on our IP, but mostly we are known for our “work-for-hire” successes. We’ve cooperated with many AA-AAA worldwide studios, helping to deliver the best game possible, such as Flying Wild Hog (Shadow Warrior 3, Space Punks), CD Projekt RED (The Witcher: Battle Arena), Singularity (TBA), Fractured Labs (TBA) or Meta (former Facebook).

In Fuero Games, we approach each one individually. Really. We are not a corporation – just the opposite! We have a flat structure and partnership rules. Your Project Manager is at the same time your partner in the team, not just the person who outsources tasks to you. We value your independence and creativity – we believe, that encouraging developers to share great ideas and concepts is the key to successful leadership and teamwork.

The development path is determined after an individual interview, based on experience level. We want to improve the competence of our team constantly, so we want to give you the opportunity to spread your wings under the guidance of more experienced colleagues.
