You will need to take advantage of different systems and technologies, and work with a diverse range of users with varying levels of technical expertise. In addition to developing technical solutions, you’ll create interactive dashboards and web‑based content workflows. If you are a Build Engineer with an interest in web development, or a Full Stack Engineer with build experience, or are unsure whether your experience is strong enough – we would still love to hear from you!

Requirements

• Experience managing automation systems such as TeamCity or Jenkins in a game development environment (CI/CD, data processing, agent provisioning, etc.)
• Experience with version control systems such as Perforce or Git
• Full‑stack web development skills (HTML/CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, SolidJS or React, NodeJS, MongoDB)
• Experience with system monitoring and process dashboards (ElasticSearch, time‑series visualisation)
• Scripting and application development using Python and PyQT/PySide
• Application deployment using containers (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Professional attitude towards support, including face‑to‑face support, progress updates and high‑quality documentation
• Preferably some experience working with Unreal Engine and C++
• Experience with motion capture data processing would be beneficial

Benefits

• 25 Days Annual Leave (3 of which are used when we close the studio for our end‑of‑year break)
• Private Medical Insurance (BUPA)
