Rive is where designers, animators, and developers build interactive experiences. Design, animate, and code in one place. What you build in the editor is what ships in your app, game, or website. No mockups, no prototypes, no handoff. The real thing.
Companies like Spotify, Duolingo, LinkedIn, Google, and Fortune 500 automakers use our open-source runtimes to build once and ship everywhere — websites, apps, games, and vehicles.
With Rive, designers and developers work with the same tools. No silos. What you see in the editor is what ships in production. In this role you'll help support and maintain a crucial part of the Rive product that makes this possible, the runtime libraries.
Rive is looking for an experienced Unreal Engineer to join our Developer Relations team focused on the Unreal Engine ecosystem.
You’ll work across both engineering and advocacy: contributing directly to Rive’s Unreal runtime, improving APIs and developer workflows, building samples and demos, and helping guide developers adopting Rive in production. We’re looking for someone who not only enjoys solving technical challenges, but also cares deeply about developer experience and can communicate complex ideas clearly through documentation, examples, tutorials, and community engagement.
As part of the role, you’ll collaborate closely with engineering, product, and design teams while also engaging directly with developers in the Unreal community. You’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of Rive’s Unreal support, influence product direction through customer feedback, and create compelling technical content that inspires developers and designers alike.
