Game Engineer

A Game Engineer is responsible for the technical development of video games. They focus on the software engineering aspects of game creation, which includes developing game mechanics, physics simulations, artificial intelligence (AI), and optimizing game performance. Game Engineers work with game engines like Unity or Unreal Engine and use programming languages such as C++, C#, or Python to build interactive experiences. Unlike designers, who focus on the creative aspects of the game, engineers focus on the underlying technical systems that make the game function smoothly.

Game Engineers collaborate with game developers, designers, artists, and other team members to ensure that the game mechanics align with the creative vision and perform well on various platforms.
