Software Development Engineer - Gaming
About The Position
In this role, you will support the execution, stability, and performance of large‑scale build systems and development pipelines used across multiple active products. You will be part of a production technology group that develops and maintains shared infrastructure, tooling, and middleware that enables teams to build, test, and ship content efficiently. This is a hands‑on engineering role focused on implementation, optimization, and day‑to‑day pipeline reliability rather than architecture ownership. You will work within established systems, collaborating closely with engineers, DevOps partners, and technical leadership to ensure builds remain fast, reliable, and scalable throughout ongoing development cycles.

- Strong programming and scripting experience, including:
- C# (required)
- PowerShell (required)
- Additional scripting languages used in automation or pipeline tooling
- Proven experience debugging complex build and pipeline issues across multiple environments
- Experience working within established systems and tooling rather than greenfield development
- Ability to support teams remotely and work effectively with distributed stakeholders
