We are looking for a Build Engineer to make sure we can deliver a world-class game on a world-class build and release pipeline. We’re open to candidates at a range of experience levels, and if you’re earlier in your career but excited about build pipelines and game development, we’d still love to hear from you.
You’ll join our Engineering team, a mixed group working across everything technical at the studio. Your job is to help our teams iterate on features and content faster, which has a direct impact on the game we ship. You’ll be working with engineers who are passionate about the craft and aren’t afraid to try new tools or approaches when the old ones aren’t cutting it. The goal is straightforward. Make it quicker and easier to improve the game, so we ship a better game in the end.
Working closely with project lead engineers to design and maintain appropriate pipelines for build (CI/CD), release and automated testing.
Ensuring that the build, packaging and publishing process is as frictionless and stable as possible for all our teams.
Developing your engineering skills.
Selecting the appropriate tools for the job, whether that’s creating custom tooling and solutions, extending existing Unreal Engine 5 functionality, or using an off-the-shelf utility.
Collaborating effectively within a AAA game development team – being service-minded, organized, and a great team player.
Curious about build pipelines, CI/CD, and developer tooling. Background can come from a previous role (DevOps, QA, platform, automation), studies, or personal projects.
Solid programming skills in C# or Python, gained through work, education, or substantial side projects.
Comfortable working in a source control system like Perforce or Git.
Hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar. Comfort with the concepts matters more than years on the clock.
Passionate about improving build pipelines and reducing developer friction.
An effective communicator who loves to work both independently and in collaboration with others.
Bonus points (genuinely nice to have, none of these are required)
Games industry experience.
Experience using Unreal Engine.
Interest in or experience with solutions for monitoring, like Datadog.
Experience with configuration management systems such as Ansible.
