    • Integrate tooling with Perforce, REST/JSON APIs, and CI/CD systems
    • Develop and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, end-to-end)
    • Debug and root-cause complex technical issues across tools and pipeline systems
    • Provide support to QA, artists, and engineers using internal tools
    • Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering quality standards
    • Collaborate with senior engineers on technical design and implementation decisions
    • Continuously improve tooling reliability, performance, and usability

    Join the team of inspiring game dev professionals, and get even more:

    • Competitive financial reward (yes, we are fair enough);
    • Challenges to raise your XPs score working on the projects of the top global game dev publishers;
    • Private medical care, paid time off;
