What You’ll Do

Epic Games is in the business of creating fun games we want to play and building the art and tools we need to bring those games to life. We provide our engine technology to developers worldwide and consistently strive to stay on the cutting edge of our industry. We iterate to improve everything every day: our games, our technology, our processes, and even our workspaces and people. This unrelenting focus on innovation and quality defines us. Our SDETs are, first and foremost, software engineers; they act as force multipliers for quality efforts across the business by providing tools, frameworks, coaching, and education.

• Maintain excellent technical practices (e.g. refactoring, minimizing technical debt, and unit testing) with a focus on continuous improvement
• Develop tools to assist in tester augmentation, backward compatibility, and performance stability

What we’re looking for

• Excellent leadership skills, including mentorship, planning technical roadmaps, making trade-offs, and prioritization
• Good knowledge of how game engines work; Experience with either UE4/Unity or a custom internal game engine

• Experience developing systems and tools that enhance the experience or capabilities of internal partner teams
• Experience with automation frameworks and continuous integration systems using C#/C++
• Ability to quickly understand complex tech stacks and find solutions that complement/extend rather than bypass existing investments
• Experience with developing unit testing and integration testing strategies, Test Driven Development, Behaviour Driven Development
