Senior Engineer, Story

At CD PROJEKT RED, we’ve built our legacy on rich worlds and storytelling from the epic tales of The Witcher to the dystopian future of Cyberpunk 2077. Now, we’re setting out on the next journey: to create a completely new IP which is Project Hadar. It is shaped by the same passion, quality, and vision that define everything we do.

Project Hadar is still in its early days. This is an exciting opportunity to join a team that’s building a universe from the ground up where your ideas, experience, and creativity can directly shape the project’s vision, identity, and direction.

We’re looking for people open to creative exploration their experience into something new and still taking form, those unafraid of creative exploration and bold decisions, teammates who want to make a meaningful impact on an emerging world.

As a Senior Engineer, Story you will get a chance to work with passionate and creative people like quest designers, cinematic designers, open world designers  and artists in order to bring to life ideas that will excite players from all over the world! We're using Unreal Engine 5 and we need your help to not only fully leverage its capabilities, but also to push its boundaries even further. As a member of this team, you'll be making sure that technology does not limit our imagination by designing, implementing and expanding already existing features. 

If you are curious, but not sure what to expect, have a look at the talk that one of our Technical Directors prepared for the Game Developers Conference 2016 in San Francisco! We are going to use this knowledge to build an even more powerful system to unleash our creativity to its fullest potential! Behind the Scenes of the Cinematic Dialogues in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
