Software Architect

Apply to join a new platform initiative and take ownership of building a centralized performance testing automation platform for game development.

In this role, you will collaborate with developers, designers, and QA teams to design and deliver a unified system that aggregates performance data from multiple game engines, processes results, and clearly highlights performance issues. You will play a key role in defining the software architecture, database schemas, and overall system experience, while helping to track and visualize optimization progress over time. As this is a brand-new platform with no prior internal equivalent, you will have a unique opportunity to shape its foundations and influence how performance testing is approached across game development teams.
