Senior Engineer, Generalist

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 eager to bring 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.

If you know Unreal Engine architecture well, are comfortable moving between disciplines, have solid experience in low level C++ and are experienced performance profiler and optimizer, we want to hear from you! As part of the engineering team you will have the opportunity for laying the foundations of a brand new CDPR project. You’ll be taking part in the design, implementation, optimization, and maintenance of game engine systems or pipelines.  You’ll work closely with gameplay and quest designers, engineers, and other specialists to build the tech that drives our games and develop innovative features.
