As our Build Engineer, you’ll evaluate, adjust and deliver support for our production pipeline (builds, tools, configurations) as an embedded part in cross functional teams.

In this role, you’ll be working closely with our Programmers and other content creators in cross functional teams and directly report to one of our Technical Directors. It will be important for you to be able to create connections across the studio, to set up effortless channels of communication and daily interaction with the users of our services.

Your responsibility

• Manage Perforce end-user support alongside back-end administration of Perforce instances including branch management and integration support.
• Deliver builds to Development & testers and supervise the consistency of data and versioning.
