UE5 Game Developer / Engineer at Side in São Paulo, São Paulo, BR

At Side, we work alongside some of the world's leading developers and innovators to create immersive interactive experiences that combine cutting-edge technology with exceptional user engagement.

This project is focused on the development of a next-generation first-person VR flight simulation experience built in Unreal Engine 5. Combining realistic simulation systems, immersive environments, and intuitive interactions, the project aims to deliver highly authentic aviation experiences that place users at the centre of complex real-world scenarios. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you'll help shape virtual environments, prototype interactions, and refine user experiences that balance realism, usability, and immersion. This is an opportunity to contribute to a sophisticated simulation project that pushes the boundaries of real-time technology and interactive design.

We're seeking experienced Unreal Engine Game Developers to work across gameplay systems, interactions, animations, UI, UMG, and physics, helping bring a cutting-edge VR flight simulation to life while collaborating closely with designers, artists, and fellow engineers.

As these are project-based opportunities, positions may be amended, postponed, or withdrawn as a result of changing client requirements and project priorities.

• Strong debugging, optimisation, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work effectively across gameplay, assets, tools, and technical challenges.
• Comfortable collaborating within a multidisciplinary team of designers, artists, and engineers to deliver high-quality features and content.
