Summary:


We are looking for Software Engineer cover to build and maintain the automation that keeps a large UGC application healthy in production across every surface it ships on.


In this role you will build and operate the systems that keep a large UGC application healthy in production. It ships as a single product across multiple surfaces: natively on VR headsets, and on mobile and PC via cloud streaming (Horizon Cross Screen). You will work alongside the runtime and KTLO (keep-the-lights-on) team, focused on reducing manual operational and on-call work through automation, keeping the cloud rendering and deployment pipelines healthy, and keeping CI/CD functional as upstream dependencies change.


Responsibilities


  • Build and maintain automation that keeps a large VR application healthy in production (release pipelines, build health, crash triage, incident detection)

  • Maintain and improve an AI-assisted code repair system that creates and lands fix diffs autonomously

  • Develop tooling to automatically identify broken builds, pinpoint root-cause changes, and recommend or execute fixes

  • Monitor production quality metrics and respond to regressions and outages

  • Reduce manual on-call burden through automation, with a goal of cutting recurring operational work by 80–90%

  • Complete required infrastructure migrations to keep CI/CD pipelines functional as upstream dependencies are retired


Requirements


  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, or equivalent

  • Proven experience building and operating CI/CD, build, release, and cloud deployment pipelines at scale

  • Experience operating cloud services and server-side fleets in production, including reliability, capacity, and latency

  • Experience building or operating AI-assisted developer tooling or agents that generate or repair code

  • Experience building tooling that detects broken builds and traces failures to their root-cause change

  • Experience with production monitoring, crash triage, and incident response for a large-scale, multi-surface application

  • A track record of reducing operational and on-call load through automation

  • Experience completing infrastructure or dependency migrations without breaking downstream CI/CD


Desirable


  • Experience with cloud game or application streaming, or remote rendering

  • Experience with asset delivery or CDN pipelines at scale

  • Experience with capacity, latency, or session-orchestration monitoring for streamed workloads

  • Experience operating live-service or large-scale production applications (Live Ops)

  • Familiarity with large monorepo build systems and dependency management

  • Experience designing self-healing or auto-remediation systems


Benefits


  • Competitive salary

  • Healthcare contribution and inclusion in company pension scheme

  • Work laptop and phone

  • 25 days annual leave (pro-rata) plus paid bank holidays

  • Expanding workforce with potential for career progression for top performers
