• Manage Perforce copy-up and merge down across multiple code streams
• Respond to issues within the Frostbite production environment by working across teams and gathering data to help troubleshoot issues
• Collaborate across domain teams and QA on releases/updates and patches
• Automate releases to ensure the integrity of the live environment is protected and the correct components are released
• Help establish new policies, improving process and culture to help release Frostbite with better quality
