Build & Release Engineering Intern (Latin America)

As a Build Engineer with Gamebreaking Studios, you will help a variety of studios succeed in making great games by working with BespokeCI - our build system tailor-made for games - to enable teams to playtest their game every day.

Gamebreaking Studios is looking for someone eager to break into game development with a passion for learning, problem solving, and helping people. We want an intern to join our team of Build Engineers using and supporting BespokeCI. In this role, you can expect to troubleshoot errors and breaks, apply updates and security patches, and implement customer requests to improve the performance and functionality of their build system.

Build Engineers are often known for their breadth of knowledge, rather than depth. We are looking for someone equally comfortable using a terminal to remotely administer a linux system with SSH as they are writing a script to automate a tedious task or contributing to a package or module in a more complex piece of software. You will be working closely with game designers, artists, and engineers, and have opportunities to collaborate and contribute ideas of your own.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the skills listed here. We understand that your qualifications may shine through in different ways and can be based on unique perspectives and experiences.
