Production Engineer - Partners
2 years ago
Do you get a thrill from throwing yourself into difficult problems with unclear solutions? Do you like being a nexus of information and capability across test, design, and engineering workflows? Have you written scripts to tell your computer to do your work for you? Are you a renaissance person, always looking to learn something new making sure others have a pathway to that knowledge as well?
Production Engineers are force multipliers who use their expertise across Bungie systems and their passion for supporting others to augment the studio's effectiveness at shipping high quality content. As a Production Engineer, you will identify improvements to our workflows and unblock and provide desk-side support to content creators often on tight deadlines. You will use this experience both to be an advocate for content creators to the Engineering org and to find workable short-term solutions and push for meaningful long-term solutions to prevent the issues from happening again. You will often work autonomously as you navigate a multitude of evolving workflows for the teams you support.
The Partner Production Engineer supports both internal teams and external partners in creating content in the Destiny IP. The role consists of keeping teams unblocked, answering technical questions on pipelines and content, exporting and gathering content to send to partners, and creating documentation around IP licensing processes.
