The technology

What is Unreal Engine, and why do companies build with it?

Unreal Engine is Epic’s engine, known for high-end rendering and used across games, film production and simulation. Unreal 5 introduced Nanite and Lumen, which changed how teams approach geometry and lighting, and its Blueprint visual scripting lets designers build systems while engineers work in C++.

Applications

What is Unreal Engine used for?

These are the product categories where Unreal Engine is the deliberate choice rather than a default. If your project sits outside them we will say so during the first call.

High-fidelity games

Titles where visual quality is a selling point.

Console development

Mature toolchains for platform certification.

Virtual production

Film and broadcast real-time rendering.

Architectural visualisation

Photorealistic interactive walkthroughs.

Simulation

Training systems requiring physical accuracy.

Our engineers

The people who would work on your product

Every engineer you interview is a full-time member of our 200+-strong team in Hanoi — not a freelancer sourced on demand.

Buyer guide

How do you evaluate an Unreal Engine developer?

Ask an Unreal developer where they draw the line between Blueprints and C++, and how they profile GPU frame time. Also ask about replication if the project is multiplayer. Unreal projects usually degrade through Blueprint sprawl and unmeasured rendering cost.

We apply exactly these checks before a candidate reaches your shortlist, which is why our acceptance rate sits at roughly 3%. You still run your own interview — the screen is there to make that interview short.

Talent market

How deep is the Unreal Engine talent pool in Vietnam?

Vietnam produces a large annual cohort of computer-science and engineering graduates, and Unreal Engine sits inside the mainstream of what local teams build commercially — which matters, because a stack that is only used in hobby projects produces candidates with no production scars. Depth is strongest at mid level (three to five years); genuine senior and lead-level people exist in smaller numbers and are almost always employed, which is why we approach them directly rather than waiting for applications.

Practically, that shapes two things for you. First, timing: mid-level roles are usually filled from our existing pool within 48 hours, while a rare senior specialisation can take two to three weeks of targeted search. Second, price: seniority moves the rate far more than the technology does, which is why our ladder is built on experience bands rather than on a per-language price list. If your requirement is genuinely scarce locally, we will say so at the first call instead of sending profiles that do not meet the bar.

Before you start

What to prepare before your Unreal Engine developer starts

The difference between an engineer who contributes in week one and one who is still waiting in week three is almost never the engineer. It is access. Before the start date, have repository and environment access approved, a named person who can answer domain questions, and one small but real ticket ready — not a sandbox exercise, an actual piece of work that goes through your normal review and release process.

  • Accounts, repository and environment access approved in advance
  • A named technical contact for the first two weeks
  • Architecture notes or a walkthrough recording, however rough
  • One small, real ticket ready for the first week
  • Your definition of done and review expectations written down

We run this checklist with you before the start date as part of onboarding, and we hold a 30-day review covering delivery, communication and fit — with a free replacement if any of the three is wrong.

Commercials

How much does it cost?

Rates are all-in: sourcing, five-step vetting, employment contracts, payroll, personal income tax, statutory insurance, workspace and delivery management are already included. There is no separate recruitment fee and no hidden employer-cost surprise at the end of the month.

What moves the number is seniority, how scarce the skill set is locally, and engagement length — longer commitments and multi-role teams price better than a single short contract. You receive a written quote against your specific role profile before committing to anything.

FAQ

Hire Unreal Engine Developers — questions buyers ask

How much does it cost to hire Unreal Engine developers?
All-in rates start from $12/hour at mid-level and rise with seniority. The rate already includes vetting, employment, payroll, statutory contributions and delivery management, so there is no separate recruitment fee.
How fast can we start?
We send a shortlist within 48 hours of an agreed role profile. After your interviews, onboarding takes about a week — against two to three months to hire the same seniority locally.
Do you work in C++ or only Blueprints?
Both, and the split matters. Designer-facing systems stay in Blueprints; performance-critical systems go to C++. We document which is which so the project stays maintainable.
Who owns the code and intellectual property?
You do. IP is contractually assigned to your company, NDAs are standard for everyone on the engagement, and access is governed under ISO 27001:2013 controls.
What if the person is not the right fit?
A free replacement applies during the trial period. You interview and select every person, so mismatches are rare, but the risk sits with us rather than with your roadmap.
Can we scale up or down later?
Yes. Engagements run monthly with an agreed notice period, so you can add people as scope grows or release them without a redundancy process.
Where is the team based?
In our own development centre in Hanoi, Vietnam. Working hours overlap fully with APAC and cover European mornings; partial overlap is arranged for US teams.
