We have big ambitions to serve over 10,000+ students a year. Getting there means moving quickly, trying new things, learning from what works, and giving great people real ownership. If you’re ambitious about where your own career can go, and excited to help young people discover where theirs might lead, you’ll thrive here.
We’re looking for a game designer, developer, educator, or Masters/PhD student with strong Unreal Engine experience who can make game design approachable for teenagers and create a classroom where students are excited to build, experiment, and bring their ideas to life.
Role Details
Delivery: In person at the University of Central Florida
Teaching dates and hours: June 6- 18, 2027 from 8:45am to 4:45 pm
Training: Required instructor training/onboarding when hired; additional 2-3 hours in June before courses begin.
Compensation: USD 1,500 per week

Why You’ll Love This Role
You’ll help students ages 13–17 explore the foundations of game design through hands-on prototyping and project work in Unreal Engine 5. Students will learn how to build gameplay using Blueprints, shape player experiences, and develop their own third-person platformer game. The curriculum, lesson resources, and activities are provided — your role is to make them engaging, accessible, and memorable while helping every student make progress.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Deliver Circuit Stream’s provided Game Design with Unreal Engine curriculum with energy, clarity, and strong classroom facilitation.
- Guide students through Unreal Engine 5, Blueprints, game design fundamentals, prototyping, and their third-person platformer project while ensuring learners are meeting the course learning objectives.
- Help students troubleshoot technical issues, think through gameplay and design decisions, and connect course concepts to real-world game design and development practices.
- Create an inclusive, positive classroom environment and use appropriate behavior-management techniques to reinforce expectations, rules, responsible technology use, and safety requirements.
- Supervise students during scheduled indoor and outdoor activities outside classroom instruction each day, while monitoring learner progress and communicating concerns or support needs to the Circuit Stream team.
What We’re Looking For
- You genuinely enjoy working with teenagers and know how to keep a group engaged, participating, and excited to create.
- Professional, internship, academic, freelance, or substantial project experience in game design or game development using Unreal Engine.
- A completed degree or diploma in Computer Science, Game Design, Game Development, Interactive Media, or a related Masters/PhD in progress; graduates of comparable game-design programs will also be considered.
- Strong working knowledge of Unreal Engine 5 and Blueprints; familiarity with Figma and version-control tools such as Git is an asset.
- Strong communication and facilitation skills, with the patience to explain technical and design concepts clearly to beginners.
- Teaching, tutoring, mentoring, TA, training, camp, or youth-program experience is strongly preferred, along with a portfolio of relevant game-design or development work.
Who This Is For
- Someone who gets energy from helping teenagers turn ideas into playable experiences and build confidence with creative technology.
- A practical teacher who brings provided lessons to life through demonstrations, guided building, questions, feedback, and hands-on participation.
- Someone who can make game-design and Unreal Engine concepts feel approachable without oversimplifying them.
- A patient problem-solver who is comfortable helping beginners troubleshoot, iterate, and learn from mistakes.
- Someone who is available to teach on weekdays during the summer for all course dates listed.
Who This Is Not For
- If you enjoy game design but do not enjoy spending your day actively working with teenagers.
- If your preferred teaching style is primarily lecture-based or demonstration-only, without giving students frequent opportunities to build and experiment.
- If you become frustrated when beginners need repeated explanation, technical support, encouragement, or redirection.
- If you are uncomfortable enforcing classroom expectations, supervising students outside the classroom, or taking responsibility for safety.
What’s In It For You
- The opportunity to introduce teenagers to game design, Unreal Engine, and creative careers in games and interactive media.
- A complete curriculum, lesson resources, activities, instructor training, and support from Circuit Stream’s Education team.
- A community of instructors and educators to connect with and learn from.
- A rewarding summer role where you can strengthen your teaching and mentorship skills while helping students build a game they are proud to share.
Ready to Apply?
Apply with your resume and answer these two questions:
- Why do you enjoy teaching and working with teenagers?

Tips for Your Unreal Engine Developer Job Search
Tailor your resume to engine version
Many studios list a minimum Unreal Engine version in their job requirements. Call out the exact versions you've shipped with, whether UE4 or UE5, and note specific UE5 features like Nanite, Lumen, or Chaos Physics you've used in production.
Show shipped projects, not just demos
Hiring managers for unreal engine developer roles weigh shipped work heavily. If you have a released title or a project that reached a playable milestone, name it in your resume and link your portfolio to a build, not just screenshots.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists unreal engine developer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings by discipline, not just title
Unreal developer roles split into gameplay, tools, graphics, and technical art tracks. Search by those discipline keywords alongside the main title so you don't miss postings where the studio uses a narrower or broader job title than you expect.
Prepare a Blueprints versus C++ answer
Almost every unreal engine developer interview includes a question about when you use Blueprints versus native C++. Have a concrete example ready that shows you made that call deliberately on a real feature, not just a preference statement.
Negotiate start date around crunch cycles
Game and virtual production studios often have hard deadlines tied to launches or shoots. If you're in final-round conversations, ask about the team's current milestone schedule so you can negotiate a start date that works for both sides.
Unreal Engine Developer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most unreal engine developers?
The most active employers for unreal engine developers right now are Circuit Stream, Akima, and Riot Games, and the most openings are in California, Texas, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is spread across game studios, virtual production companies, and enterprise simulation firms.
How many unreal engine developer jobs are remote?
About 33% of unreal engine developer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the industry's comfort with distributed development teams. Tools engineering, technical art, and graphics programming roles tend to have the highest remote availability, while gameplay and live-service positions more often require on-site collaboration.
How do you become a unreal engine developer?
Start by downloading Unreal Engine for free and completing a small self-contained project, such as a playable level or interactive experience, that demonstrates a specific skill like character movement or lighting. Build a portfolio of two or three finished projects, learn C++ alongside Blueprints, and study Unreal's rendering and asset pipeline through its official documentation and community tutorials.
How do you get hired as an unreal engine developer with little experience?
Focus on completing one polished project rather than many unfinished ones, because studios evaluate what you can ship, not how many things you started. Contribute to open game jams or collaborative indie projects to get team credits on your resume, and document your process publicly so hiring managers can see how you approach problems, not just the final result.
What does the unreal engine developer interview process look like?
Most studios begin with a recruiter screen followed by a technical phone interview covering C++ fundamentals and Unreal architecture. A take-home or live coding exercise typically follows, often involving a small gameplay feature or bug fix inside a provided Unreal project. Final rounds usually include a portfolio review, a systems design discussion, and conversations with engineering leads or producers.
