Lead Gameplay Developer Location: Remote-first Type: Full-time Start: ASAP About Couch Heroes At Couch Heroes, we’re exploring new ground for the MMO genre. In a world where fantasy and ancient technology intertwine, players explore shattered realms, grapple across verticality, solve puzzles, and push back corruption, with progression driven by player expression and discovery. We envision bridging generations of gamers, creating a space where both coexist and journey together. We’re developing in Unreal Engine, in early production, with a team spanning multiple countries. We’re remote-first, based in the UK, and scaling to support a multi-year live-service roadmap. We value autonomy, curiosity, and collaborative ownership, and we’re looking for creators who want to help build something from the ground up. Sound like your kind of thing? We should talk. About the Job The systems that define how players interact with the world, each other, and the game’s core mechanics are built by gameplay engineers. We need a Lead Gameplay Developer who can own the technical implementation of our core gameplay systems and build the engineering team that delivers them. You will report to the CTO and manage a growing team of gameplay engineers. You will make technical design decisions, stay hands-on with implementation, and represent the gameplay engineering discipline across the studio in production planning, design reviews, and resourcing decisions. We are in early production. The studio has been running for three years, but core gameplay systems including combat, traversal, abilities, progression, and multiplayer interaction are still being architected and prototyped. You will be making foundational technical decisions that define how the game feels, scales, and evolves over years of live service. Your Role People Leadership and Team Development • Manage a growing team of gameplay engineers as the team scales through production: set priorities, assign work, balance workload, and run regular 1:1s focused on progress, career development, and honest feedback., • Lead performance reviews and goal setting aligned to production milestones and individual development plans. Identify skill gaps and address them through coaching, stretch assignments, or training., • Represent the gameplay engineering discipline in cross-discipline leads meetings, production planning, and resourcing conversations. Advocate for team needs and capacity., • Foster a team culture of technical rigour, clean code practices, and collaborative problem solving., • Support hiring as the team grows: contribute to job descriptions, design technical assessments, and participate in interview loops. Gameplay Systems and Implementation • Own the technical design and implementation of core gameplay systems in Unreal Engine 5, including combat, traversal, abilities, player interaction, and progression mechanics., • Architect gameplay systems for a persistent MMO context: server-authoritative logic, client prediction, ability replication, and state synchronisation across distributed server infrastructure., • Collaborate closely with game design and level design to translate design intent into robust, tuneable, and extensible gameplay code. Build systems that designers can iterate on without requiring engineering support for every change., • Stay hands-on with C++ and Blueprint implementation. Build, profile, and iterate alongside your engineers, establishing technical quality benchmarks and code architecture patterns., • Work with animation, VFX, and audio teams to integrate gameplay systems with presentation layers: ability visuals, hit feedback, audio cues, and UI responses. Technical Architecture and Performance • Define coding standards, architecture patterns, and review processes for gameplay code. Ensure the codebase remains maintainable and extensible as the team and feature set grow., • Profile and optimise gameplay systems for MMO-scale performance: tick budgets, replication bandwidth, ability processing in dense combat scenarios, and memory management., • Collaborate with online services and network engineering to ensure gameplay systems work reliably under real-world latency and server load conditions., • Work with production to manage scope, schedules, and task breakdowns for gameplay engineering work. Contribute to milestone planning, sprint scoping, and capacity forecasting., • Use playtesting observations and telemetry data to identify technical issues with gameplay feel, responsiveness, and fairness. Must-Haves • Proven experience in game development, with at least one shipped title in a gameplay engineering or gameplay lead role., • Proven experience of direct people management: running 1:1s, setting goals, conducting performance reviews, and developing team members., • Strong C++ proficiency with production experience in Unreal Engine, including Gameplay Ability System, replication, and Blueprint integration., • Experience building gameplay systems for multiplayer or online games, with a working understanding of server authority, client prediction, and state replication., • Demonstrated ability to translate game design concepts into well-architected, extensible, and performant code., • Strong communication and documentation skills, with proven experience collaborating across disciplines (design, art, animation, audio, network) to ship integrated gameplay features. Nice-to-Haves • Experience shipping at least one MMO or persistent online world from production through live service., • Experience with Unreal Engine’s Gameplay Ability System (GAS) at scale, including custom ability tasks, gameplay effects, and attribute sets., • Familiarity with AI systems for NPC behaviour, encounter scripting, or enemy design., • Experience with data-driven design approaches where designers author gameplay content through configuration rather than code changes., • Exposure to anti-cheat considerations and exploit mitigation in competitive or economy-driven multiplayer games. About You • You lead by investing in people. You find genuine satisfaction in watching your team grow and you actively develop the engineers around you., • You care about how systems feel to the player, not just whether they function correctly. Frame data, input responsiveness, and gameplay feel matter to you., • You are comfortable working through ambiguity. Early production means not everything is defined yet, and you see that as an opportunity to shape the right technical approach., • You balance technical elegance with delivery pragmatism. You know when to architect for the future and when to prototype quickly to validate design., • You work autonomously in a remote environment, proactively keeping your team aligned and your stakeholders informed., • We are committed to making our hiring process accessible.

You will be making foundational decisions about how the game handles player connections, distributes load, and maintains state across a persistent world. These decisions will define the game’s technical ceiling for years to come. Your Role Server Architecture and Networking • Design and implement the server architecture for a persistent MMO: dedicated server topology, zone distribution, player session management, and load balancing., • Build and optimise Unreal Engine networking systems including replication, relevancy, bandwidth management, and client-server authority models., • Architect systems for zone streaming and seamless world transitions so that players move between areas without loading screens or connection drops where possible., • Design scalable matchmaking, instancing, and shard management systems that handle variable player populations and world events., • Profile and optimise network performance: replication bandwidth, tick rates, packet loss handling, and latency compensation across global player populations. Online Services and Infrastructure • Collaborate with backend engineers to build player-facing online services: authentication, friends lists, party systems, guilds, chat, and presence., • Work with DevOps to define server deployment, scaling, and monitoring strategies using cloud infrastructure. Ensure the game can handle peak loads and recover gracefully from failures., • Implement robust reconnection, state recovery, and graceful degradation systems. Players should not lose progress or context due to transient network issues., • Design data persistence strategies for player state, inventory, progression, and world state in a distributed server environment. Collaboration and Quality • Work closely with gameplay engineers to ensure gameplay systems are designed for networked play from the start: server authority, prediction, rollback, and cheat resistance., • Collaborate with QA to define networking test plans, latency simulation environments, and automated stress testing., • Contribute to architecture documentation, technical design reviews, and knowledge sharing across the engineering team., • Provide technical guidance to other engineers on networking best practices and multiplayer system design. Must-Haves • Proven experience in game development or distributed systems engineering, with at least one shipped multiplayer title or live online service., • Strong experience with Unreal Engine networking: replication, relevancy, net serialisation, and dedicated server workflows., • Deep understanding of network programming fundamentals: TCP/UDP, socket programming, packet design, bandwidth management, and latency compensation techniques., • Experience designing server architectures for persistent or session-based multiplayer games, including session management, load distribution, and failover., • Proficiency in C++ with production experience writing networked gameplay and server systems., • Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to solving cross-discipline technical problems. Nice-to-Haves • Experience shipping at least one MMO or persistent online world from production through live service., • Experience with cloud infrastructure for game servers: provisioning, auto-scaling, regional deployment, and cost management on AWS, Azure, or GCP., • Familiarity with database systems for game state persistence: relational, document, or key-value stores at scale., • Experience with anti-cheat systems, exploit detection, or security hardening for multiplayer games., • Exposure to large-scale world streaming, spatial partitioning, or interest management systems for persistent online worlds. About You • You think about systems under stress. You design for the worst-case scenario, not the demo., • You understand that networking quality is invisible when done well and game-breaking when done poorly. You take pride in the infrastructure players never notice., • You are comfortable working through ambiguity. Early production means not everything is defined yet, and you see that as an opportunity to shape the right architecture., • You are rigorous about testing and profiling. You do not ship networking code based on assumptions about real-world conditions., • You work autonomously in a remote environment, proactively keeping your lead and collaborators informed., • We are committed to making our hiring process accessible.

Lead Full-Stack Developer Location: Remote-first Type: Full-time Start: ASAP About Couch Heroes At Couch Heroes, we’re exploring new ground for the MMO genre. In a world where fantasy and ancient technology intertwine, players explore shattered realms, grapple across verticality, solve puzzles, and push back corruption, with progression driven by player expression and discovery. We envision bridging generations of gamers, creating a space where both coexist and journey together. We’re developing in Unreal Engine, in early production, with a team spanning multiple countries. We’re remote-first, based in the UK, and scaling to support a multi-year live-service roadmap. We value autonomy, curiosity, and collaborative ownership, and we’re looking for creators who want to help build something from the ground up. Sound like your kind of thing? We should talk. About the Job The web and platform layer of an MMO is what players interact with outside the game client: account systems, social features, community tools, content delivery, and the services that tie the live experience together. We need a Lead Full-Stack Developer who can own the architecture of these systems and build the engineering team that delivers them. You will report to the CTO and manage a growing team of web and platform engineers. You will make architectural decisions, stay hands-on with code, and represent the web engineering discipline across the studio in production planning and resourcing decisions. We are in early production. The studio has been running for three years, and core platform infrastructure is being built alongside the game itself. You will be making foundational choices about stack architecture, service boundaries, deployment pipelines, and data models that the team builds on for years to come. This is not a maintenance role. You are building systems from the ground up. Your Role People Leadership and Team Development • Manage a growing team of engineers as the team scales through production: set priorities, assign work, balance workload, and run regular 1:1s focused on progress, career development, and honest feedback., • Lead performance reviews and goal setting aligned to production milestones and individual development plans. Identify skill gaps and address them through coaching, stretch assignments, or training., • Represent the web engineering discipline in cross-discipline leads meetings, production planning, and resourcing conversations. Advocate for team needs and capacity., • Foster a team culture of code quality, shared ownership, and continuous improvement., • Support hiring as the team grows: contribute to job descriptions, review technical submissions, and participate in interview loops. Technical Leadership and Architecture • Architect and lead the development of backend microservices using TypeScript, Node.js, and Express, with MongoDB for persistent storage and Redis for caching, session management, and pub/sub messaging., • Design scalable, well-bounded services that support the throughput and reliability demands of a live-service MMO: player accounts, social systems, marketplace, mail, inventory, and platform integrations., • Own CI/CD pipelines using Azure Pipelines, with Docker and Kubernetes on Azure for container orchestration and deployment. Establish deployment practices that support rapid iteration without compromising stability., • Make architectural decisions about service boundaries, data models, caching strategies, and API design that balance immediate delivery needs with long-term scalability., • Establish monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices using Grafana and Uptime Kuma or equivalent observability tools. Frontend Engineering • Build polished, responsive, and accessible interfaces using TypeScript, React, and Next.js, with Redux for state management and Zod for schema validation., • Collaborate with UI/UX design to ensure clean design-to-implementation handoff and user-centric workflows across platform features., • Ensure frontend systems are built for internationalisation, accessibility, and performance from the start. Platform Integration • Work with gameplay engineering and online services to define how web platform systems integrate with the game client: authentication, account management, social features, content delivery, and analytics., • Collaborate with production to manage scope, schedules, and task breakdowns for web engineering work. Contribute to milestone planning, sprint scoping, and capacity forecasting. Must-Haves • Proven experience in software development, with at least one shipped product or live service., • Proven experience in a senior or lead role with hands-on team leadership experience: running 1:1s, setting goals, conducting reviews, and developing team members., • Strong backend experience with TypeScript, Node.js, and Express for API development., • Production experience with MongoDB and Redis in a services environment., • Strong frontend experience with React and Next.js., • Working knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipeline design., • Experience with Azure Cloud services or equivalent cloud platform., • Strong communication skills and a collaborative working style, with proven experience making architectural decisions in cross-functional teams. Nice-to-Haves • Experience building backend services for games, social platforms, or real-time multiplayer applications., • Experience with Redux, Zod, or equivalent state management and validation libraries., • Familiarity with real-time communication systems: WebSocket at scale, pub/sub architectures, or event-driven service design., • Experience with Grafana, Uptime Kuma, or equivalent observability and monitoring tools., • Experience with OAuth2/JWT authentication flows and identity management., • Experience with Golang or additional backend languages., • Contributions to open-source projects or technical writing that demonstrates systems thinking. About You • You lead by example. You are hands-on when needed and empowering always., • You build systems that last and take pride in readable, maintainable code., • You are comfortable translating product vision into technical decisions and explaining technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders., • You are comfortable working through ambiguity. Early production means not everything is defined yet, and you see that as an opportunity to shape the right architecture., • You balance engineering ideals with delivery pragmatism. You know when to build for the future and when to ship what works., • You work autonomously in a remote environment, proactively keeping your team aligned and your stakeholders informed., • We are committed to making our hiring process accessible.
