Company Description
Job Description
WHAT YOU WILL BE WORKING ON
Cross-Studio Technical Enablement
- Work closely with studio Technical Directors, leads, and senior engineers to understand how development workflows operate in practice.
- Gain hands-on familiarity with multiple engines, tech stacks, and build pipelines used across teams.
- Identify recurring patterns, friction points, technical risks, and opportunities for simplification or convergence across teams (pipelines, tooling, CI/CD, testing, iteration speed).
- Support teams in aligning on shared approaches where it brings clear benefits — without enforcing uniform solutions.
Initiative & Mission Building
- Turn observations from the field into clear, actionable technical initiatives.
- Help scope these initiatives, define success criteria, and support the setup of small, focused missions with the right contributors.
- Contribute to the evolution of shared pipelines and workflows when doing so improves consistency, reliability, or development velocity, and reduces delivery or scalability risks.
- Help maintain momentum and clarity across initiatives through coordination and follow-up.
Shared Practices & References
- Contribute to the definition of lightweight shared practices, reference workflows, or examples when they help teams work more effectively.
- Encourage reuse of tools, engine integrations, pipelines, and solutions that have proven value and acceptable risk profiles.
- Monitor adoption and outcomes, adjusting approaches based on real usage, feedback, and observed risk trends.
AI-Assisted Development (Enablement-Focused)
- Explore where AI-assisted tooling can be practically useful for engineers (e.g. code review, refactoring, testing, migrations, documentation).
- Support teams in experimenting with and adopting AI tools in a safe, responsible, and incremental way.
- Help shape usage guidelines and guardrails together with engineers.
- Maintain a clear view of where AI adds value and where it does not, including associated technical or operational risks.
Communication & Alignment
- Maintain close, ongoing exchange with technical teams across studios.
- Share learnings, patterns, and examples across teams to encourage reuse and convergence.
- Provide visibility on recurring technical themes, identified risks, and progress of ongoing initiatives.
Qualifications
WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED
- 8+ years in game/software engineering; shipped titles or production tooling.
- T-shaped: experience with multiple engines, tech stacks and build / CI-CD pipelines, with real depth in at least one (build/release, engine integration, or DX tooling).
- Proven at driving cross-team change through influence, without direct authority - strong facilitation and stakeholder management.
- Producer-like coordination: scoping initiatives, defining success criteria, running small focused missions, follow-through.
- AI-assisted dev tools experience (code review, refactoring, testing, migrations)
WHO YOU ARE
- Excellent communicator (English): turns messy technical reality into clear, shared narratives; credible with engineers and leadership alike.
- Pragmatic and risk-aware: sound judgment on where convergence / AI tooling helps and where it does not.
- Comfortable in a distributed, multi-studio, multi-timezone organization.
- Nice to have: DevEx / build-release background.
