Our games have been installed 2.3 billion times (that's a third of the world's population!) and more than 30 million people around the world play them every day.
Team, about the role
The Build System team is responsible for accelerating and optimizing the build of projects with several million lines of code for Android, iOS, MacOS, Windows, and Linux for all Playrix game projects, which is more than 10K builds per day! Our goal is to provide stable and high-performance builds, reducing development time with reliable and convenient solutions. There will be challenges along the way, but we can promise they'll be interesting. If this sounds up your alley, we look forward to hearing from you.
Experience in game development is not necessary: we have developed an adaptation system to ensure a comfortable transition for specialists coming from other industries.
