Design and implement the technical systems and policies that enable change management at scale across source control, CI/CD, validation, and release infrastructure
Surface dependencies and potential integration collisions early enough for teams to sequence work or knowingly accept rework, then preserve ordering and context as changes move between lanes
Give all contributors a clear view of change status, blockers, ownership, and recovery paths, with downstream failures traceable to their source
Improve conflict detection and target-lane validation; automate routine merge actions, propagation, backports, cleanup, and notifications
Study how engineers, artists, designers, QA, production, and build teams actually work; then remove unnecessary ceremony, waiting, and specialist dependencies
Measure flow health metrics and turn incidents and proven manual practices into better policy, tooling, and operations
Coordinate work across Developer Experience, QA, CI/build infrastructure, production operations, and domain teams, with clear owners and backup coverage for critical operations
Mentor and develop junior team members in release engineering and infrastructure practices
What We’re Looking For
Highly experienced hands-on engineer with a track record of technical leadership on cross-functional programs
Strong background in source control systems, branch strategies, merge queues, and CI/CD infrastructure
Demonstrated ability to design and operate technical systems that support development teams at organizational scale
Experience with release management, validation policy, and deployment infrastructure in complex product environments
Exceptional ability to balance speed, stability, and delivery goals while explaining complex tradeoffs to senior leaders and teams
Strong communication and people skills; ability to influence engineers, artists, designers, QA, and production teams without direct authority
Proven track record of converting manual, repetitive processes into automated, well-documented systems
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent professional experience
Ability to analyze source control history, diagnose CI and integration failures, and prototype supporting tooling
Curiosity about how different disciplines work and habit of finding the real workflow behind technical problems
Bonus Points
Game development experience, particularly with Unity or large monorepos
Experience with Git LFS, binary/non-mergeable assets, or parallel development mainlines
Operating high-volume merge queues or change systems at substantial organizational scale
Multiple simultaneous live releases or long-term development track experience
Experience with large tightly-coupled products or complex content pipelines
Knowledge of DevOps, build infrastructure, or platform engineering
Experience designing developer productivity and experience improvements
