Senior Tools Engineer needed for AAA game studio. Must have C# expertise, Game Engine experience, CI/CD knowledge, and tool development skills.

Archetype Entertainment is a new game studio in Austin, Texas led by industry veterans from BioWare and other AAA studios. Archetype is a division of Wizards of the Coast (Hasbro). We are building a development team with world-class talent to create a new science fiction universe for our first multiplatform roleplaying video game.


Our goal is to create the greatest story-driven roleplaying games in the world.


At Archetype, we believe there will always be a place for story-driven roleplaying games that put the player at the center of an epic personal narrative with impactful choices. We also believe that game studios should empower top developers and challenge them with ambitious projects that are shaped by a strong, clearly communicated creative vision.


We chose Austin because it is a great place to live and work. Austin is the capital of Texas and is a fast-growing city with a vibrant music scene, cosmopolitan culture, a world-class university (the University of Texas at Austin - “Hook ‘em Horns!”), and scenic rolling hills.


Archetype is seeking an adaptable Sr. Tools Engineer to join our tools team. In this role, you will build new tools that will enable and improve the creative process for our artists, designers, writers, and engineers. As a bridge between departments, you will foster a deep understanding of their unique needs, translating those into efficient, user-friendly solutions. Your technical expertise will directly impact the efficiency and quality of our game development pipeline, as you tackle challenges in compilation, cooking, and packaging technologies, while continuously evolving our .NET-based toolset. Ultimately the work you do on the Tools Team will have a large impact on the productivity of the studio!


What you'll do:

  • Contribute to the design, development, and operation of our tools.

  • Become an expert for compilation and distribution of Unreal Engine technologies.
  • Own systems, with some direction, and a high degree of autonomy.
  • Collaborate across all game development teams to understand their tool workflows and needs.
  • Analyze and champion improvements of our team processes, standards, and workflows.


What you'll bring:

  • Advanced knowledge of C#.

  • Experience with a Game Engine and Editor.
  • Experience with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment systems.
  • Aptitude to learn a wide variety of languages, frameworks, and technologies used to develop tools (C++, WPF, Python).
  • Foster collaboration between development and operations teams.
  • Experience working with storage technologies such as SQL and NoSQL databases.
  • A strong focus on quality and scalability.
  • Customer and service oriented mentality to support our developers.
  • Excellent time management and interpersonal skills.
  • Bachelor's degree or meaningful professional experience.


Compensation Range, Currency USD:

  • Starting Pay Range: $129,200

  • Pay Range End: $215,520
