Senior Devops Engineer

Description

The company is a video game studio in London, founded in 2004, known for the Batman: Arkham series. It makes one project at a time and combines strong gameplay and character-led storytelling with AAA production quality.

The team is building the technical base for the studio's next game, made in Unreal Engine 5, and the focus is on the systems that keep development quick and dependable for everyone working on it.

The role suits someone who likes working through complicated systems and owning areas that lack settled answers, then turning those problems into solutions that scale. You will work with engineers, content creators and technical leads, and can build skills where engine programming meets developer infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Build, maintain and improve CI pipelines with Unreal Horde and TeamCity.
• Create and support automation for building, testing, cooking and packaging.
• Look after build farm infrastructure, artifact storage and distribution systems, and make them better.
• Support and tune distributed compilation to shorten engine and game build times.
• Maintain and optimise the Derived Data Cache (DDC) so iteration is faster.
• Work with development teams to find and fix bottlenecks in pipelines and workflows.
• Research and prototype newer approaches that improve reliability, scalability and performance.

Requirements

• Experience as a C++ programmer in game development or a similar technical field.
• Experience with Unreal Engine (UE4 or UE5) beyond gameplay code.
• Hands-on work with automation, build systems or CI pipelines.
• Proficiency in Python, C, or both, for tooling and infrastructure.
• Comfortable in Windows-based development environments.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills on large, complex systems.
