Sr. Build & Release Pipeline Engineer

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Build & Release Pipeline Engineer to support a small game studio on a 3-month consulting engagement focused on stabilizing and improving multi-platform build and release pipelines. This is a hands-on advisory role, not a long-term operations position, and is best suited for someone experienced working within legacy and constrained environments, particularly console SDKs.

You will assess the current setup, recommend pragmatic improvements, implement high-impact changes, and provide documentation and knowledge transfer so the internal team can sustainably own the pipeline after the engagement.

What You’ll Do

• Audit existing build and release processes across platforms
• Identify key risks, bottlenecks, and single points of failure
• Design and implement a more reliable, maintainable build pipeline
• Improve consistency of build machines and remote access workflows
• Implement or refine CI / CD where appropriate, within platform constraints
• Advise on on-prem vs cloud approaches, considering proprietary SDK limitations
• Establish clearer traceability between builds, commits, tasks, and bugs
• Define and document workflows for builds, releases, bug tracking and QA handoff
• Provide documentation, training, and knowledge transfer to the team
