Build Engineer

About the job

We are looking for an experienced, competent programmer to join the team, to take ownership of build & deployment automation on Two Point Campus, and our other upcoming sim management games. The role will involve expanding, improving and maintaining the build and deployment process, creating dashboards for tracking dev metrics, and can also touch on automated tests for stability and performance. Ideally you’ll have an unhealthy desire to automate everything, a love of graphs, and a breadth of knowledge of tools and technologies. Experience with games development would be very beneficial but not necessary. We’re thinking at least 3 years’ professional experience, but this is flexible depending on talent. You do need enough knowledge to be quite self-sufficient to begin with.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Improving and maintaining the infrastructure and pipeline for our build, deployment and test services
• Proactively looking for ways to monitor and improve quality, make team more efficient - e.g. automatic branch merging, automated asset optimisation, reporting dashboards
• Implementing build quality checks to drive the quality of the build, beyond simply checking for success or failure - e.g. asset size reports
• Planning your own work as part of an agile team
• Potentially implementing automated game tests
• Potentially owning monitoring and reporting of quality of live builds, including crash reporting, analytics and dev ops

The ideal candidate would have:

• 3 years’ relevant experience
• Experience with Team City or other CI systems
• Experience with some relevant language: C#, Python, other scripting languages
• Solid understanding of coding process, standards and methodologies
• All the typical programming skills: source control, code architecture, debugging, testing
• All the typical soft skills: problem solving, teamwork, communication, organisation, time management, self-motivation, desire to learn
• Of course, a love for games!

Not essential, but it helps if you have:

• Functional and unit testing framework experience
• Good head for statistics and data analysis
• Data visualisation skills
• Video games industry experience

About Two Point

Two Point Studios sizzled into existence in the summer heat of 2016 with a goal to create amazing, deep simulation games that not only remain accessible to everyone, but also don't take themselves too seriously - we call them little people games! In 2018, our hard work came to fruition and Two Point Hospital was born into the world to much acclaim. We dream of creating an entire world of these little people games within the place we call "Two Point County" - with us now being a part of the Sega family, and with the success of Two Point Hospital, we’re now pushing forward with our next adventure, Two Point Campus, to make that dream become a reality!
