Senior Unreal Engine Talent

Meta-dology is expanding our real-time production team as we scale our UE5 architectural visualisation pipeline and take on a growing portfolio of international projects.

We’re looking for experienced people who want to help us build something bigger than a traditional ArchViz studio.

We currently have three senior opportunities:

Senior UE5 ArchViz Artist

We’re looking for someone capable of taking an architectural project and pushing it to a premium visual standard inside Unreal Engine.

Strong experience in:

• Unreal Engine 5

• Architectural visualisation

• Lighting and materials

• Lumen / Nanite

• Sequencer and cinematics

• Cameras, composition and visual storytelling

• Scene optimisation

• Producing high-quality stills and cinematic sequences

This is not primarily a Blueprint/development role. We are looking for someone with a strong artistic eye who understands what makes architectural visualisation look exceptional.

Experianced Environment Artist

We’re looking for an experienced environment specialist capable of creating believable, detailed and highly polished environments around our architectural projects.

Strong experience in:

• Environment creation

• Landscape and terrain

• Vegetation and foliage

• Roads, surroundings and context

• Asset creation and optimisation

• Materials and texturing

• Unreal Engine workflows

• Large-scene optimisation

• Photorealistic environmental storytelling

The environment should feel like part of the architecture—not something added around it afterwards.

Experianced Unreal Developer

We’re looking for a technically strong Unreal Engine developer to help build the systems behind our interactive architectural experiences and production pipeline.

Experience may include:

• Unreal Engine 5

• Blueprints and/or C++

• UI / UMG

• Interaction systems

• Optimisation and profiling

• Pixel Streaming

• Web/API integration

• Reusable project systems and tools

• Pipeline automation

• Building stable, production-ready UE5 applications

This role is about helping us build the technology and systems that allow our artists and projects to scale.

What we care about

We’re less interested in impressive job titles and more interested in what you can actually do.

For these senior positions, we’re looking for people who can work with a high degree of autonomy, solve difficult production problems, take ownership of their area, maintain quality under deadlines and help raise the standard of the people around them.

We are building a team where specialists collaborate across UE5, Environment, BIM and Development to deliver high-end architectural visualisation at scale.
