Senior Build Manager

TLDR

Design and build the foundations of a CI/CD and release ecosystem for a new PC/Console project, ensuring fast and reliable deployment processes that scale with team needs.

Main challenge

Join at a pivotal moment as we kick off the pre-production of a new ambitious PC/Console project.

Your mission will be to design and build the foundations of our build, CI/CD, and release ecosystem from the ground up—ensuring that as the project scales, teams can turn code into stable, playable builds quickly, reliably, and at production scale.

What it means on a daily basis

• Design and continuously improve Unreal Engine CI/CD pipelines across PC, Console, and Mobile
• Automate build, cook, and package workflows with a strong focus on reproducibility
• Implement quality gates and validations to detect issues early in the pipeline
• Optimize Perforce workflows (streams, workspaces, sync performance, changelists)
• Operate and scale a hybrid infrastructure (on-prem + cloud) with performance and cost in mind
• Maintain and improve core services (Horde, Zen Server) to ensure stability and low latency
• Develop internal tooling to improve developer experience and reduce friction
• Drive release processes: branching strategy, build promotion, versioning, and delivery

What success will look like

• Builds are fast, reliable, and predictable across all platforms
• Developers can generate playable builds with minimal friction
• CI/CD pipelines scale without breaking under production load
• Clear, enforced “golden path” from commit to release
• Reduced iteration time (faster feature delivery cycles)
• Stable and traceable release processes across teams

Who you would be working with

• Game developers (programmers, technical artists)
• QA teams
• Production teams
• Technical leadership (Tech Director, Leads)

Where this role can take you

• Technical ownership of a critical production system at studio level
• Evolution toward Staff / Principal DevOps or Platform Lead roles
• Strategic impact on how games are built and shipped

What you need to succeed

• Strong hands-on experience with Unreal Engine 5.x build systems
• Proven ability to design and operate CI/CD pipelines in production
• Deep experience with Perforce (Helix Core): streams, branching strategies, workspace management
• Ability to integrate and optimize Perforce within CI/CD pipelines
• Advanced Python skills for automation and tooling
• Experience operating hybrid infrastructures (on-prem + cloud)
• Ability to design scalable AWS-based infrastructure, including auto-scaling strategies and cost optimization in production environments

Who you are

• You think in systems, not scripts
• You prioritize reliability, clarity, and automation over manual processes
• You are hands-on and stay close to technical details
• You take ownership and naturally become the go-to expert
• You care about developer experience and fast feedback loops
• You are structured, pragmatic, and impact-driven

What we offer:

• A fun and flexible work atmosphere with an iconic game studio

• Clear creative direction and collaborative feedback

• Fair compensation and a respectful, professional work relationship
