Unreal Engine Game Developer (Virtual Reality Programer), based in Bangkok

We are looking for a spirited team player with a can-do attitude to join our dynamic team.

ABOUT THE JOB

The Game Developer contributes to the design, planning, and implementation of interactive digital and virtual reality projects in coordination with the Bangkok-based team, working closely with Head Office in Geneva and collaborating with other teams and partners globally. The role supports the delivery of high-quality Unreal Engine-based applications and immersive experiences and contributes to representing the organization externally through technical collaboration, research publications, and effectively supporting organizational objectives and operational impact.

ACCOUNTABILITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, develop, and oversee the production of Unreal Engine 5 applications and interactive experiences, from initial concept and technical design through implementation, testing, optimization, and final delivery. Ensure all projects meet required quality, performance, and stability standards and align with organizational objectives.
• Plan and manage technical workflows and development pipelines with minimal supervision, coordinating timelines, resources, and deliverables in line with project priorities and technical guidelines. Contribute to estimating development effort and supporting project planning and coordination with regional and headquarters teams.
• Perform and maintain Unreal Engine asset development, including gameplay programming, system integration, dynamic shaders, and real-time rendering; ensure compatibility across supported platforms and target environments.
• Provide technical expertise and hands-on support to internal teams and partners, including integration of 3D assets, performance optimization, troubleshooting technical issues, and supporting deployment and on-site technical requirements where needed.
• Collaborate with designers, artists, subject-matter experts, and project managers to translate operational, training, or communication objectives into effective interactive and immersive experiences, including simulations, serious games, or VR applications.
• Research, evaluate, and apply new technologies and techniques related to Unreal Engine development, virtual reality, motion capture, artificial intelligence, user interfaces, and real-time rendering to improve project quality and development efficiency.
• Contribute to technical documentation, knowledge sharing, and capacity building, including developing systems and workflows, supporting training sessions for staff and partners, and contributing to development of projects.
• Act as a technical focal point for collaboration with external partners and vendors, providing guidance on Unreal Engine implementation, technical standards, and integration requirements, and supporting coordination across multiple stakeholders.

YOUR PROFILE

• A strong, demonstrable portfolio is essential and carries more weight than formal qualifications. Candidates must provide examples of Unreal Engine 5 projects with clear explanation of individual responsibilities, technical challenges solved, and playable or viewable demos. Shipped projects, published prototypes, or production-quality vertical slices are highly desirable.
• Bachelor's degree preferably in Computer Science, Game Development, Software Engineering, or a related field and/or equivalent professional experience, with 3 or more years of game development.
• Experience developing in Unreal Engine 5, including gameplay systems, engine workflows, and performance considerations.
• Advanced Blueprint development skills and preferably solid C++ programming experience for Unreal Engine (gameplay systems, UI, or tools).
• Strong understanding of game design principles, including player interaction, feedback systems, and usability.
• Experience with performance optimization, level streaming, LODs, lighting, and asset management for large-scale environments.
• Virtual Reality development experience, including optimization for VR performance and comfort.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with designers, artists, producers, and external partners.
• Experience building and packaging projects for desktop platforms (Steam or similar distribution platforms is a plus).
• Additional programming or technical skills (e.g. shaders, tools development, AI systems, networking) are an advantage.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and Thai; knowledge of additional regional languages is an asset.
