Hello, Epic!

“At the core of Epic’s success are talented, passionate employees. Epic prides itself on creating a collaborative, welcoming, and creative environment. Whether it’s building award-winning games or crafting game engine technology that enables others to make visually stunning interactive experiences, we’re always innovating”

It’s my first day at Epic! And for those of you who don’t know Epic, you’ve likely heard of Fortnite or the Unreal Engine. But it’s not just the monumental success of these products that attracted me to Epic, it’s the people, culture and this opportunity that gets me so excited.

My role will be, at least initially, focused on growing the Unreal Engine team and recent acquisitions too such as Quixel and Cubic Motion. These companies in their own right are world-class and pulling their products together into the Unreal Engine offering is phenomenal.

If you ever see an opportunity on www.epicgames.com/careers that looks interesting, don’t hesitate to contact me ([email protected]). And if you’re interested in finding out a little more about Epic, check out these videos below:

WHO ARE EPIC?

Well, I’ll let the About Epic Games section on the website explain. “Founded in 1991, Epic Games is an American company founded by CEO Tim Sweeney. The company is headquartered in Cary, North Carolina and has more than 40 offices worldwide. Today Epic is a leading interactive entertainment company and provider of 3D engine technology. Epic operates Fortnite, one of the world’s largest games with over 350 million accounts and 2.5 billion friend connections. Epic also develops Unreal Engine, which powers the world’s leading games and is also adopted across industries such as film and television, architecture, automotive, manufacturing, and simulation. Through Unreal Engine, Epic Games Store, and Epic Online Services, Epic provides an end-to-end digital ecosystem for developers and creators to build, distribute, and operate games and other content”.
