- Empower Engineering: Collaborate deeply with Client Engineering teams to understand their unique tech stacks (Game Engine, Studio, Apps) and engineer solutions that scale.
- Operational Excellence: Identify, diagnose, and resolve complex issues across the build, test, and release systems. Your work will directly unblock hundreds of developers and ensure the stability of the release pipeline.
- System Reliability: Drive improvements in build reliability and efficiency, ensuring our infrastructure can handle massive scale with minimal downtime.
- Innovate with AI: Leverage AI models, MCP tools, and internal AI agents to turn repetitive maintenance tasks into intelligent, user-friendly self-services.
You have:- Experience building tools to boost developer productivity and proficiency in at least one modern language, such as Python, Go, C++, or Java.
- Experience designing and maintaining large-scale modern CI/CD systems (e.g., TeamCity, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab).
- Working knowledge of cloud-based build infrastructure automation and container orchestration (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes (K8S), or Nomad).
- Experience implementing monitoring and alerting solutions to proactively manage build health.
- A customer-centric mindset and resourceful problem solver.
- Preferred: Exposure to large scale cloud/on-prem build and release systems, and/or experience building distributed build and test systems that excel in providing rapid and reliable feedback to developers.
