Senior Release Engineer

Lost Boys Interactive is a member of the Gearbox Software and Embracer Group family. We are a rapidly growing AAA game studio based in Madison Wisconsin, with full remote work available from any state in the US. We provide top-tier development for our partners as well as working on our own AAA game projects. We have world-class projects, resources, and infrastructure, but our company’s success comes from the talented and passionate people who work together each day to produce great games together.

Lost Boys Interactive is growing our internal DevOps team to build development pipelines, and supporting infrastructure, in a mixed cloud and on-prem environment.

As a Release Engineer, you will design and implement the end-to-end build and release management for our game properties. As a member of an agile team, you will work to improve existing workflows and stand-up new infrastructure in AWS and VMware to enable us to build and ship our game properties to Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Lost Boy’s primary development stack includes Unreal Engine 4/5, Perforce (code repository and code reviews), Jenkins for build automation and Steam and EGS for content delivery. To support this stack, you will be building and maintaining a mixed environment of Windows and Linux servers.

We also are expanding our gameplay test automation system for Xbox, PlayStation and PC. You will work with Lost Boys engineers to automate build pushes to multiple platforms, execute gameplay automation and collect and consolidate performance data metrics.
