Vetting

How we vet Unreal Engine engineers

Every Unreal Engine engineer on Dev-Hire passes a profile review of their CV and past work, a communication check for clear spoken and written English, and a technical interview led by a senior engineer. The interview combines live coding with scenarios that test problem solving, code quality, architecture choices and how the candidate debugs unfamiliar code. Only the top 1.5% of applicants are accepted and published, so you start from engineers who have already been checked.

Typical engagements

Add a dedicated engineer to your sprint to clear a backlog of features and fixes
Take ownership of a neglected part of the codebase and bring it up to date
Prototype a new product idea quickly, then harden it for production
