Senior Build Manager

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
