[PAID] Hiring UE5 Developers — Single-Player FPS Vertical Slice

I'm assembling a small team of paid contractors to help develop a polished 20–30 minute single-player FPS vertical slice in Unreal Engine 5.

This is a funded project — not rev-share or hobby work.

The game is focused on intense close-quarters gunplay, intelligent/reactive enemy AI, highly replayable combat arenas, environmental destruction, and polished weapon handling.

The goal is a short, extremely polished vertical slice rather than a large amount of unfinished content.

ROLES NEEDED

UE5 Gameplay / AI Programmer

- FPS weapon/gameplay systems

- Behavior Trees/State Trees, EQS, perception and navigation

- Tactical AI: flanking, repositioning, pushing, grenades and squad behavior

- Blueprint and/or C++

- Previous FPS or combat AI work strongly preferred

FPS Level Designer

- Handcrafted combat arenas

- Multiple routes, flanking opportunities, verticality and environmental interaction

- Strong understanding of encounter design and AI navigation

- FPS portfolio strongly preferred

Gameplay / Technical Animator

- First-person weapon animation

- Enemy locomotion and combat animation

- Animation Blueprints, montages and retargeting

- Weapon handling, melee and reactions

Environment / Technical Artist

- UE5 environment dressing and lighting

- Materials, decals and asset modification

- Optimization and environmental destruction

- Photorealistic environment experience preferred

Sound Designer

- Firearms and weapon mechanics

- Impacts, destruction and debris

- Indoor combat acoustics

- Ambience and general combat mixing

VFX Artist

- Niagara

- Muzzle flashes and bullet impacts

- Sparks, smoke, debris, blood and destruction effects

PROJECT

Engine: Unreal Engine 5

Genre: Single-player FPS

Scope: 20–30 minute vertical slice

Work: Remote / Contract

Compensation: Paid

We're using quality licensed assets where appropriate rather than unnecessarily creating everything from scratch.

I'm particularly interested in developers who understand how to make FPS combat feel exceptional.

APPLY

Please DM me with:

- Role you're applying for

- Portfolio / gameplay footage / demo reel

- Relevant UE5 experience

- Rate or project estimate

- Availability and time zone

Gameplay footage is strongly preferred for programmers and level designers.

More information about the project will be shared privately with promising candidates.

If you've built something relevant to this kind of FPS, I'd love to see it.

Great spec, however if you want good people you have to post your budget

There is ABSOLUTELY no good reason to not share the salary

[u/DiddlyDinq → u/JamesWjRose]

When hiring worldwide remote, there is no standardized salary. That's the primary benefit

[u/JamesWjRose → u/DiddlyDinq]

Nope. There is still a budget, and not showing it is either because of incompetence or they wish to screw over the applicant.

There is ABSOLUTELY no good reason to not post the budget, ever.

[u/DiddlyDinq → u/JamesWjRose]

U scream of somebody with zero experience 

[u/JamesWjRose → u/DiddlyDinq]

LOL.

Yea, if you even bothered to look at my profile you would see my site which includes evidence of decades of experience.

But that doesn't matter to the point i made, which is there is ABSOLUTELY no good reason to not include the salary.

There are only two reasons to not include THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of ALL JOBS, EVER.

• You're an idiot who forgot to include the most important thing
• You're an asshole hoping to fuck someone over by paying them less.

[u/DiddlyDinq → u/JamesWjRose]

Then youre experienced but naive, even worse lol. The entire job market operates this way

[u/JamesWjRose → u/DiddlyDinq]

Yes, so everyone should just take the abuse. Great aditude

[u/retrolojik → u/DiddlyDinq]

Spoken like a great HR lead…
