About The Position

Rushdown Studios is looking for an experienced Game Build Engineer to join their team in support of an existing partner studio. In this role, the engineer will work alongside the existing team to improve infrastructure reliability and automate infrastructure creation, builds, and deployments for a large-scale game development project. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated and demonstrated team player with the ability to juggle and jump between different tasks as necessary.

Requirements

Experience with CI/CD pipelines in TeamCity for game development projects.
Familiarity with version control systems for large binary assets.
Proficiency in automation tools (e.g., MSBuild, FastBuild, Incredibuild).
Experience scripting with languages like Python, PowerShell, or Groovy.
Understanding of game packaging and deployment requirements for different platforms.
Experience compiling code and/or managing pipelines that compile code.
Ability to debug unexpected issues that arise during development.
Experience working with cloud providers (e.g. Azure, AWS, GCP).
Willingness to selflessly put player experiences first — before even your own code and ego.
Proactive approach to communication, particularly when it comes to unblocking yourself and navigating obstacles as part of a team.

Nice To Haves

Experience with build systems like Jenkins, TeamCity, or Azure DevOps, specifically for game development projects.
Experience with game engine build pipelines (e.g., in Unreal, Unity, or proprietary engines).
Knowledge of game development workflows and asset management.
General understanding of C-family programming languages.
Previous work using version control for game development (e.g., Perforce, Git LFS).

Responsibilities

Implement and maintain build systems for multiple target platforms (e.g., PC, Xbox, PlayStation).
Deploy infrastructure-as-code for cloud resources using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, Azure Bicep, or Azure Resource Manager templates.
Design and develop CI/CD pipelines for game builds and deployments.
Automate game asset packaging and distribution workflows.
Optimize build times and artifact management for large game projects.
