About the role
- Overhaul legacy pipelines into an automated, observable, and resilient foundation capable of scaling with our rapidly growing engineering org.
Responsibilities
- Solve complex, multi-repo merge and build bottlenecks by architecting high-throughput submission engines (e.g., modern Submit Queue systems) that handle high-velocity code insertion without breaking main branches.
- Collaborate directly with Client, Engine, Mobile, and Infrastructure leads to understand their specialized stack requirements (C++, Lua, Native Mobile) and translate them into unified, world-class developer tooling.
- Drive architectural reviews, establish technical standards, and mentor senior and staff engineers across the Developer Platform organization.
- You rely on build telemetry, pipeline tracing, and developer friction metrics to pinpoint bottlenecks and quantify developer velocity gains.
- Our build and delivery ecosystem handles immense complexity: decades of C++ game engine code, extensive Lua applications, complex native platforms, and a sprawling monorepo with massive, growing test suites.
- Set Technical Excellence: Drive architectural reviews, establish technical standards, and mentor senior and staff engineers across the Developer Platform organization.
