As a premier first-party Xbox Game Studio, we are passionate about making genre-defining games that are accessible, beautiful, and most of all fun. We are looking to expand our diverse team as we continue driving forward our BAFTA award-winning Forza Horizon franchise.
The role will have you expanding, managing and maintaining continuous integration build pipelines within a large build server installation in an automated and efficient manner. Your aim is to streamline the development process across the studio.
Working within a team of highly skilled developers, you will be responsible for ensuring that automated content and code builds remain reliable and efficient and are adapted to suit the needs of the AAA title. You will use telemetry, scripting, pipeline architecture and your knowledge of the latest and most useful trends in the industry to do this. Engineers with a strong desire to provide excellent customer service are ideal for this role. You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders, so your ability to work collaboratively and communicate effectively is vital. You are highly motivated and approachable, with a strong desire to ensure the development process is the best it can be.
This is a contract role based at our state-of-the-art facilities in Royal Leamington Spa. We have a hybrid work model in place with a minimum of 3 days a week in studio. Relocation assistance is available if required.
This is a fantastic opportunity to make a world-class game with an established, talented, and collaborative team at one of the industry’s most exciting first-party game studios.
