Senior Unreal Gameplay Engineer | Multiplayer FPS
Ironbelly Studios
Join the team who's helped build 300+ games ranging from Call of Duty, Halo, PUBG, and Bioshock

We're Ironbelly Studios - 20+ industry veterans building our next multiplayer FPS in Unreal Engine 5. This is new system architecture from the ground up, not maintenance work.
