Release Manager (Live-Ops)

At Omeda Studios, we are a remote-first game development company passionately working on our debut title, Predecessor - our Action MOBA for PC and Consoles that is currently in Early Access. We are looking for skilled professionals eager to contribute their talents in creating and delivering engaging content for a game designed to entertain players for years. Join our expanding team and be part of this thrilling journey!

As a community-driven studio, our core mission is to develop games that resonate with our players. We firmly believe that incorporating community feedback is essential to crafting immersive gaming experiences that players simply won't want to pause.

Together, we are committed to shaping and realising our vision, as well as tackling the exciting challenges that lie ahead.

And here's where you come in! We need an experienced and capable Release Manager to own and manage our release process, delivering near-weekly patches to a cross-platform live service game on PC and Consoles.

What We're Looking For

• The ability to contextualise individual issues to broader business and player impact, and triage that impact against other priorities and goals
• Experience with common CI/CD tooling and practices
• Experience with PlayStation and Xbox certification and patch delivery processes
• A strong technical foundation and the ability to learn new subject areas quickly
• Strong problem solving and communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in a remote team environment
