“The proximity to key partners, the density of world-class talent and all the factors that make Seattle an attractive place to live convinced us that it is the perfect locale for Epic’s West Coast operation,” said Epic Games President Dr. Michael Capps. “We are looking to hire even more of the best engineers around to contribute to Unreal Engine 4, which we believe is set to change the way we all make games.”
In addition, the company is hiring for a number of key positions. They are seeking out "exceptional programmers and support staff" that will be working with its engineering group. This group of engineers has a "median industry experience of 12 years". This means you need to bring your A game and have senior-level experience in your field to even think about being hired.
