What You'll Do
We are looking for an experienced senior cloud programmer to join our build framework team. You will be responsible for delivering new features, fixing bugs, and supporting Horde, our in-house build system, which offers a broad range of services, including CI/CD, remote execution, build health, storage, and analytics. This framework is critical to the delivery of our internal game projects operating at an extremely large scale on Perforce streams over 2TB in size, with an average of 133,000 leases executing per day across 2,000 agents. Last year, we officially released Horde to Unreal licensees, so there are now numerous organisations outside of Epic that also rely on Horde.

• Bring your cloud expertise to the Horde team, looking for opportunities to make Horde operate as efficiently as possible on AWS
• Work closely with mixed-discipline teams across Epic to find scalable and achievable solutions based on the requirements of Horde's stakeholders
• Operate effectively with teams spanning multiple time zones
• Provide guidance to Unreal licensees both in the form of technical documentation and working alongside developer relations to grow adoption of Horde and ensure we are delivering the best possible build system for anyone working with Unreal
What we're looking for
• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• Strong knowledge of backend or distributed systems development
• Experience working with cloud solutions such as AWS or Azure
• Excellent knowledge in a backend language like C# or Java (C# preferred)
• Performance mindset with experience optimizing code which executes on scalable distributed solutions
• Experience with technologies we use in our tech stack is a plus, ASP.NET, MongoDB, Redis, and Terraform, and a good understanding of how to use them efficiently
• Highly collaborative with excellent technical and non-technical communication skills
• Previous experience working with Unreal and a good understanding of its tech stack is a plus
This role is open to multiple locations in North America and Europe (excluding CA, NY, & WA).
