Junior Unreal Engine Developer

About Nitro Studios

Nitro Studios builds and operates original games within Fortnite’s UGC ecosystem, focusing on fast-paced, highly replayable experiences.

• First year: 12 games shipped, over 22 million plays, 9 million unique players and 450 million minutes played — one of the top Fortnite creators worldwide, without paid user acquisition.

• Founded in 2026 in Tel Aviv: fully bootstrapped, already profitable and continuing to grow.

• Founder-led audience insight: a background in gaming content and YouTube channels with large followings, treating player understanding as a core design constraint from thumbnail to first-session experience.

• Short, iterative loops: games are continuously updated with new content, events and balance changes based on live data.

Role description

You will build real features that ship into games played by millions, with a senior developer beside you. Day to day, you will:

• Build gameplay: implement mechanics and systems in UEFN and Verse, starting small and growing fast.

• Learn the stack on the job: we expect you to arrive without UEFN or Verse, and we will teach you.

• Fix and polish: hunt bugs, tune balance and make things feel right.

• Ship weekly: get used to your work being live in front of players days after you wrote it.

• Ask and own: work independently on a task once you have it, and ask early when you are stuck.

This is a full-time, on-site position based in the Tel Aviv District, Israel.

What we’re looking for

• Something you built: a game, a prototype, a mod or a jam entry we can play or watch. This matters more than any degree.

• An engine behind you: Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot or similar — enough that you can explain your own code.

• Fast learner: you pick up new tools quickly and enjoy it. You will need this from week one.

• Passion for games: you play them, you think about why they work.

• Ownership: you finish what you start and say so when you cannot.

• Great to work with: positive, humble and easy to sit next to.

• On-site in Tel Aviv: five days a week, with the team.

Nice to have

• UEFN or Verse: any exposure at all, even a tutorial island.

• C++ or C#: real use in a project of your own.

• AI-assisted development: we build with Claude, Cursor and Codex daily and expect you to as well.

• Fortnite: you play it, or you are willing to properly learn it.

• Live games: any sense of retention, progression or why players come back.

No professional experience is required, and no degree is required.

We care about what you have built, how fast you learn, and how you take ownership.
