Not only does this person have a strong understanding of how large codebases are built, shipped, and maintained, they are also comfortable with the system-level aspects of the target hardware they’re working on when transitioning to new platforms. Key Responsibilities: • Develop, optimize, and maintain the cross-platform build and data-packaging pipeline that turns our game into shippable products across all our supported platforms, current and future. • Bring the engine up on new platforms and drive platform SDK upgrades, resolving the low-level and system-level issues that come with them (toolchains, file systems, memory and address-space behavior, boot and packaging requirements). • Identify and resolve crashes, out-of-memory conditions, and stability issues across a broad range of hardware, from high-end consoles to memory-constrained mobile devices. • Build, package, harden, and release our mobile (Android and iOS) products, and keep the associated build automation healthy. • Own and evolve the studio’s internal tools – data packaging, memory tracking, metrics and profiling – that the wider team relies on every day. • Plan and lead the modernization of long-lived build systems, toolchains, and infrastructure. • Manage branch integration and keep builds flowing across mainline, staging, production, and patch branches in collaboration with engineering, QA, and production teams. Required Qualifications : • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, mathematics, or a related technical field or equivalent. • 5+ years of experience programming in C++ with a focus on performance-critical and system level application. • Strong experience with development and release of one or more AAA titles. • Demonstrated ability to work effectively across many unfamiliar systems rather than within a single specialty. • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills on hard, intermittent, and low-level issues (memory management, crashes, toolchain and SDK behavior). • Experience with build systems, packaging and deployment pipelines, and build automation (e.g. Jenkins, MSBuild, gradle, and shell/batch scripting). • Comfort at a low level: memory management, pointers and address spaces, compiler and linker flags, and optimization behavior. • Hands-on experience with Visual Studio, Perforce, and other standard development tools. • Working proficiency in C# for tools and pipeline development. Preferred Qualifications : • Experience developing and shipping on console platforms (PlayStation, Xbox, and/or Nintendo Switch), including platform SDKs and certification/packaging requirements. • Experience shipping mobile titles (Android/iOS): NDK, app-bundle and store submission, code obfuscation and app hardening, and crash reporting. • Experience developing internal developer tools with graphical front-ends (e.g. C#/WinForms). • Familiarity with scripting languages like Python is a plus. • Exposure to graphics/rendering concepts, in particular how rendering features fit within platform memory and performance budgets (desired but not required). At SIE, we consider several factors when setting each role’s base pay range, including the competitive benchmarking data for the market and geographic location. Please note that the base pay range may vary in line with our hybrid working policy and individual base pay will be determined based on job-related factors which may include knowledge, skills, experience, and location.

Director of Operations, Slate Development
Scopely is looking for a Director, Slate Operations to join our Slate Development Group team in the UK remotely or in Barcelona, on a flexible hybrid model. At Scopely, we care deeply about what we do and want to inspire play every day - whether in our work environments alongside our talented colleagues or through our deep connections with our communities of players. We are a global team of game lovers who are developing, publishing and innovating the mobile games industry, connecting millions of people around the world daily. Slate Operations keeps Scopely's game development slate moving. We oversee execution and cross-functional alignment across the games in development — connecting game teams and central teams so decisions get made once and stick, running the cadence that keeps everyone aligned, and clearing the path so teams can build. What You'll Do: We're looking for a Director, Slate Operations to own this end to end. There are two sides to it: keeping the Group running as an organization — its cadence, process, and the day-to-day support the Game Board, Head of Slate Development and leadership team rely on — and running program management for the Game Development Framework (GDF) so games move cleanly from concept to launch. You'll sit inside the Slate Development Group but work with every part of Scopely: game teams, divisional leadership, finance, strategy, and corporate development. - Be the operational point of contact for specific in-development games — running the GDF cadence and connecting game and central teams so decisions get made once and aren't re-litigated. The main goal is to be the end to end steward for game teams in the game development framework. - Deliver operational excellence within our internal team, shaping our service model, priorities, and ways of working. Evolve our capabilities as needs change. - Drive the cross-slate operating model so independent game teams reuse what already works instead of rebuilding it. - Bring structure to consequential decisions — organize the inputs, assumptions, and trade-offs early so the owners and the room can reach real alignment before committing. - Own a capstone project — one meaty area you drive end to end, for example: evolving the GDF, owning launch readiness, or operationalizing central partnerships, depending on where the need is. - Keep investment decisions well-informed — track progress across games at different stages, and surface Greenlight Case, budget, staffing, and dependency status so leadership can challenge and decide. - Unblock teams through the development cycle, especially at launch readiness, by clearing operational issues with central partners (legal, IT, procurement, finance, logistics) so teams stay focused on the game. Partner with marketing, strategy, and divisional leadership so launches go out clean. - Give teams operational support — production perspective, process, facilitation, and help navigating the GDF. - Operationalize playtests and validation — help build and run research, playtest, and validation plans, and package the findings so vertical owners and leaders can form the recommendation. - Utilize the latest AI technologies to keep information flowing — the dashboards, status, and key dates people need to see, without the overhead. What We’re Looking For: - Bachelor's degree, MBA a plus — or the equivalent in experience. - 10+ years in program/project management across tech and direct-to-consumer businesses, at least 5 of them in games, working within or alongside a development team. - You know how games get made and sold — development, publishing, platforms, business models. You don't need to have shipped one yourself, but you get what game teams are up against. - You've supported senior execs in a fast-moving environment and you like the pace — taking initiative, juggling priorities, switching gears without losing the thread. - You can run a lot of projects at once, ideally a mix of R&D and live. - You're comfortable in ambiguity and good at creating clarity for other people. You make sound calls in the company's interest and know when to escalate. - You can hold your own with P&Ls and free-to-play KPIs. - You spot the process that's slowing people down and fix it — and you'll push back and start the right debate when it matters. - You build trust with all kinds of people at every level and don't flinch at the hard conversations — with the presence to grow into a partner to senior game leaders over time. - You write clearly and fast, and you can build a strong deck with cross-functional input. - Detail and organization come naturally to you. - Low ego, business outcomes first, open to feedback — and genuinely curious about every part of the business. - You play games and care about the industry.

Director of Operations, Slate Development
Scopely is looking for a Director, Slate Operations to join our Slate Development Group team in the US remotely or in Culver City on a flexible hybrid model. At Scopely, we care deeply about what we do and want to inspire play every day - whether in our work environments alongside our talented colleagues or through our deep connections with our communities of players. We are a global team of game lovers who are developing, publishing and innovating the mobile games industry, connecting millions of people around the world daily. Slate Operations keeps Scopely's game development slate moving. We oversee execution and cross-functional alignment across the games in development — connecting game teams and central teams so decisions get made once and stick, running the cadence that keeps everyone aligned, and clearing the path so teams can build. What You'll Do: We're looking for a Director, Slate Operations to own this end to end. There are two sides to it: keeping the Group running as an organization — its cadence, process, and the day-to-day support the Game Board, Head of Slate Development and leadership team rely on — and running program management for the Game Development Framework (GDF) so games move cleanly from concept to launch. You'll sit inside the Slate Development Group but work with every part of Scopely: game teams, divisional leadership, finance, strategy, and corporate development. - Be the operational point of contact for specific in-development games — running the GDF cadence and connecting game and central teams so decisions get made once and aren't re-litigated. The main goal is to be the end to end steward for game teams in the game development framework. - Deliver operational excellence within our internal team, shaping our service model, priorities, and ways of working. Evolve our capabilities as needs change. - Drive the cross-slate operating model so independent game teams reuse what already works instead of rebuilding it. - Bring structure to consequential decisions — organize the inputs, assumptions, and trade-offs early so the owners and the room can reach real alignment before committing. - Own a capstone project — one meaty area you drive end to end, for example: evolving the GDF, owning launch readiness, or operationalizing central partnerships, depending on where the need is. - Keep investment decisions well-informed — track progress across games at different stages, and surface Greenlight Case, budget, staffing, and dependency status so leadership can challenge and decide. - Unblock teams through the development cycle, especially at launch readiness, by clearing operational issues with central partners (legal, IT, procurement, finance, logistics) so teams stay focused on the game. Partner with marketing, strategy, and divisional leadership so launches go out clean. - Give teams operational support — production perspective, process, facilitation, and help navigating the GDF. - Operationalize playtests and validation — help build and run research, playtest, and validation plans, and package the findings so vertical owners and leaders can form the recommendation. - Utilize the latest AI technologies to keep information flowing — the dashboards, status, and key dates people need to see, without the overhead. What We’re Looking For: - Bachelor's degree, MBA a plus — or the equivalent in experience. - 10+ years in program/project management across tech and direct-to-consumer businesses, at least 5 of them in games, working within or alongside a development team. - You know how games get made and sold — development, publishing, platforms, business models. You don't need to have shipped one yourself, but you get what game teams are up against. - You've supported senior execs in a fast-moving environment and you like the pace — taking initiative, juggling priorities, switching gears without losing the thread. - You can run a lot of projects at once, ideally a mix of R&D and live. - You're comfortable in ambiguity and good at creating clarity for other people.

Staff Systems Software Engineer
Staff Systems Software Engineer Remote US & Canada About this role Most engineering roles at Thatgamecompany ship features to players. This one ships velocity and quality to engineers. Cloud, Gameplay Backend, and Cross-Platform Backend build the services and features the game runs on; you build the systems that prove that work is correct, fast, and ready — before it reaches players. You will build the systems that prove the gameplay feature works — at scale, on every device, on every commit — and the infrastructure that lets a hundred engineers find that out in minutes instead of days. If it runs in production, another team owns it. If it exists to test, measure, or accelerate what those teams build — test harnesses, load/chaos infrastructure, device labs, build/GPU clusters — you own it. Your output is the studio's velocity and the game's quality floor. On any given day, you might: Prove correctness and quality before players find the bugs - Build and own the studio's functional test automation framework — runner, fixtures, game-state harness, reporting — plus coverage instrumentation that makes untested systems visible - Build regression analysis tooling that separates real regressions from noise and attributes them to a commit automatically - Improve test suite speed/trust via flake detection, quarantine, parallel sharding, deterministic replay Find the breaking point on purpose - Design load/stress testing systems modeling realistic player behavior, capable of driving launch-scale synthetic traffic against pre-production - Build chaos testing capability — fault injection, latency/partition simulation, dependency failure — run safely against real infrastructure - Run disaster recovery exercises, measure actual RTO/RPO vs. stated targets, and turn findings into permanent regression tests Prove quality on real devices - Build app quality testing automation — frame time, memory, thermal, battery, cold-start captured automatically and gated in CI - Own the device compatibility lab, orchestration, and certification matrix so device support is verified every commit, not the week before ship Own the infrastructure engineers build on - Build/operate on-prem build clusters (distributed compilation, caching, artifacts) and on-prem GPU clusters (scheduling, multi-tenancy, utilization), backing buy-vs-build with real data - Design cross-platform developer tools — including AI-assisted tooling (agents, skills, MCP servers) — that reduce toil across Cloud, Backend, and Client Engineering Make it land - Define, instrument, and publish developer velocity/quality metrics (build time, test cycle time, flake rate, escaped defect rate, MTTR) and use them to prioritize your roadmap - Drive adoption across teams that don't report to you - Mentor engineers in testing strategy, performance analysis, systems thinking - Raise the bar through code review, documentation, reducing bus factor We expect you to - Be a passionate gamer who puts players first - Treat developer experience as a product — users, adoption curves, a quality bar — not internal plumbing - Operate at Staff level: set technical direction studio-wide, influence without authority - Be relentless about systems that prevent problems, not just report them - Embrace experimentation for ambiguous, complex problems - Communicate trade-offs clearly across distributed teams Required Skills - Languages: Python, Golang, C/C++, Jenkins Groovy; Linux shell scripting; fluent English - Testing & Quality Systems: Test framework design; load/stress tooling (k6, Locust, Gatling, JMeter); fault injection/chaos engineering; coverage instrumentation; flake detection - Performance & Analysis: CPU/GPU/memory/I/O profiling; statistical analysis of noisy benchmarks; regression detection and commit attribution; observability - Build & CI at Scale: Jenkins/GitLab CI/CD; Make/CMake; GCC/Clang; distributed build systems/caching; Git/GitLab and Perforce (large-binary workflows) - Infrastructure: Linux/macOS administration; bare-metal/on-prem cluster ops; Docker/Podman; Kubernetes; Terraform/OpenTofu; hardware capacity planning - Systems Fundamentals: Distributed systems failure modes; TCP/IP and UDP; resilience patterns; disaster recovery planning and execution Preferred Skills Mobile device farm operation, Android/iOS build and profiling toolchains, GPU cluster scheduling (Slurm, K8s device plugins, MIG), game engine internals/engine-level test automation, deterministic simulation/replay testing, live service game experience (or SaaS/PaaS/XaaS equivalent), Windows administration, Ansible, TypeScript/Java/Kotlin/Swift, hybrid/multi-cloud management Perks: - Paid Time Off, Holidays and Two Weeks Winter Break - Employees and their dependents get medical, dental, and vision coverage, regardless of their level, tenure, or position within the company.

Principal Product Marketing Manager, Foundational...
Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators. At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there. A career at Roblox means you’ll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone. Unlike anywhere else in AI right now, Roblox is building AI for creation. The mission of our Foundation AI team is to put generative AI in the hands of millions of creators. Last year, we shipped our first 3D foundation model, which turns text prompt into a production-ready 3D object. We're now pushing further into multi-modal input, like image, video, and 3D assets, and toward 4D, fully interactive worlds, all while developers keep full control of their game rules and physics. Creators use these models to build everything from a single 3D object to an entire playable world, reaching tens of millions of people every day. That end-to-end loop, from a creator's first prompt to a player's first moment inside an experience, is what makes this space different. The story of what these tools can do, and where they're headed, is still largely untold. We are looking for a world-class Senior Product Marketing Manager to define how Roblox communicates the future of AI-powered creation. This is a high-visibility role requiring a blend of technical fluency, narrative craft, and the cross-functional instincts to move quickly in one of the most dynamic spaces in the industry. You will be embedded with our Foundation AI product and engineering teams, earning fluency at the intersection of deep technical innovation and a creator community that cares intensely about what gets built. You will build the brief, run the launch, and shape how millions of creators understand what is possible today and where we’re headed. This role is based in our San Mateo, CA Headquarters on a hybrid model, in-person three days a week, and reports into the Director of Creator Product Marketing. You Will: - Own the positioning and messaging for our Foundation AI products and turn technical capability into narratives that earn trust and drive action with creators. - Use the tools you are marketing. Hands-on product familiarity produces better stories than any spec sheet. - Stay ahead of the AI landscape. Develop a point of view on where Roblox sits and articulate what makes AI-native creation genuinely distinct. - Thread individual launches into a larger arc. In a fast-shipping environment, you build the through-line that shows creators where we are going and why it matters. - Move fast and bring people with you. You have the instincts to act quickly and the relationship skills to keep partners aligned without slowing down. - Close the loop between market and product. You bring creator sentiment and market signals into roadmap conversations just as naturally as you build the external narrative from them. - Think beyond launch day. You are energized by driving adoption and building the sustained education that turns a feature into a habit. You Have: - 8+ years of Product Marketing experience at a high-growth technology company, with a track record in developer tools, AI products, or technical platforms - Genuine curiosity about AI. You follow the space, have opinions about it, and are comfortable enough to use it, experiment with it, and explain it without oversimplifying. - Narrative instinct. You find the “so what” in a dense technical briefing and make complex work legible and worth caring about. - Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the range to adapt your voice for a developer community, an exec, or a creative brief. - Proven ability to drive cross-functional alignment. You quarterback GTM across Comms, Legal, DevRel, and Creative and keep things moving without losing people. - Deep creator empathy and a collaborative nature. You build trust with engineering and product partners because you take their work as seriously as they do.

The actual base pay is dependent upon a variety of job-related factors such as professional background, training, work experience, location, business needs and market demand.
