Title: Senior Unreal Developer Location: Imerza / hybrid

At Imerza, we are a leading innovator in architectural visualization software, specializing in digital twins and real estate marketing. Our team blends cutting-edge technology with artistic craftsmanship to create immersive, real-time experiences that transform how properties are designed, presented, and sold.

We’re passionate about redefining what’s possible in real-time 3D, and we’re seeking a Senior Unreal Developer to lead technical innovation and elevate the quality, performance, and reliability of our visualization systems.

The Senior Unreal Developer plays a pivotal role in shaping Imerza’s Unreal Engine development pipeline and real-time visualization platform. You’ll lead efforts to build, optimize, and integrate advanced systems that power our architectural and experiential visualization projects.

This position combines technical mastery with leadership — you’ll work alongside engineers, artists, and project leads to define standards, mentor developers, and contribute to our next generation of real-time rendering and simulation systems.

• Lead the design, development, and optimization of advanced real-time systems in Unreal Engine 5.

• Build and extend core runtime features including:

  • Interactive cameras and slice-plane systems.
  • Dynamic lighting, time-of-day, and environmental effects.
  • UMG and in-engine tools for interaction and visualization control.

• Drive large-scale scene optimization using Nanite, Lumen, World Partition, and PCG.

• Develop reusable Unreal frameworks, documentation, and pipelines to improve efficiency and maintain consistency across teams.

• Collaborate with engineers, artists, and producers to ensure seamless integration between systems and client-facing deliverables.

• Troubleshoot performance, rendering, and system-level challenges with efficiency and precision.

• Mentor mid-level and junior developers, fostering growth in Unreal best practices and creative problem solving.

• Contribute to technical planning and help define the studio’s Unreal Engine roadmap.

• 6+ years of professional experience developing in Unreal Engine (UE5 preferred).

• Expert knowledge of C++ and Blueprints, Unreal Editor tools, and runtime system architecture.

• Proven experience creating interactive features, procedural tools, and scalable systems.

• Deep understanding of large environment workflows, dynamic lighting, and real-time rendering optimization.

• Familiarity with Perforce, Git, or equivalent version control tools.

• Strong technical documentation and communication skills.

• A proactive, collaborative leader with a track record of mentoring or leading technical teams.

• Strong problem-solving and debugging abilities across multidisciplinary projects.

Nice to Have:

• Experience manipulating Digital Twin models and data in Unreal Engine.
• Experience with VR/XR systems or virtual production pipelines (nDisplay, LED walls).
• Knowledge of Unreal networking/replication or database integration (MySQL).
• Experience with Datasmith, CAD data, or architectural visualization workflows.
• Familiarity with automation, Python, or build systems for Unreal projects.
• Understanding of projection mapping or real-time performance environments.

Additional Requirements:

• Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
• This position is based in Sarasota, FL. Candidates who can work onsite or relocate are preferred.
• Exceptional remote candidates within the U.S. will also be considered.
