• Proactively identify error patterns and bottlenecks in the build process and champion a continuous improvement mindset by proposing and implementing workflow optimization solutions.


• Design, implement, and maintain tools to enhance the efficiency of build workflows, system diagnostics, and reporting

What we're looking for

• Excellent C++ skills


• A proactive problem-solver with a strong background in large-scale software development environments and system diagnostics


• Strong capability in debugging complex build failures, performing root cause analysis, and implementing diagnostics and error logging


• Deep familiarity with modern source control systems (Perforce and/or Git), including branching, merging, and build triggering mechanisms


• High attention to detail, strong analytical thinking, and a demonstrable sense of urgency when performing rapid triage and resolution of critical incidents


• Excellent cross-team collaboration and incident communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical issues and trade-offs to engineers, artists, and other stakeholders
