Company Description

Job Description

We're looking for a mid-level DevOps Engineer to help build, maintain, and scale the infrastructure that powers our game development pipeline. You'll work closely with programmers, technical artists, and QA to keep build systems fast, reliable, and painless - so the team can focus on making great games instead of fighting tools.

Key Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for game builds across multiple platforms (PC, console, mobile)

Manage and optimize build farms, automated build systems, and nightly/CI build processes

Maintain source control infrastructure (Perforce, Git/Git LFS) including branching strategies, repo health, and performance tuning

Automate packaging, deployment, and distribution to platform storefronts (Steam, console cert submission tools, app stores) and internal QA builds

Monitor build pipeline health, diagnose failures, and reduce build/iteration times

Support and improve automated testing infrastructure (smoke tests, regression suites, crash reporting integration)

Manage cloud and on-prem infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP, Kubernetes/Docker) supporting build servers, backend services, or live-ops tooling

Write and maintain internal tools/scripts (Python, Bash, PowerShell) to streamline developer workflows

Collaborate with engineering leads to define infrastructure needs for upcoming projects and platform requirements

Own incident response for pipeline/build outages, including root cause analysis and postmortems

Document processes and provide support/training to programmers and technical staff using the pipeline

Coordinate with the engine team and technical leads to communicate required features and share best practices.

Work closely with game development teams to integrate Unreal Engine features seamlessly into studio games, providing technical solutions and troubleshooting assistance.

Provide flexible support to team members during critical development stages, ensuring project milestones are met on time.
