Software Engineer

This is a remote position.

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 identify broken builds automatically, 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.
