Technical Director: Developer Experience

Developer Experience at Embark is about how we build our games. With developers we mean everyone who makes our games: engineers, artists, designers, QA and audio. Today this work is spread over several teams.

Tools & CI handles our Unreal builds and Perforce, Backend Delivery handles our backend monorepo and developer infrastructure, and a small group works on our AI platform. We see a big opportunity in bringing this work together under one long-term vision, and we want you to lead it. As Technical Director, you'll set the 2–3 year vision and roadmap for the platform everyone at Embark builds on.

You'll lead the leads of Tools & CI and Backend Delivery, and make sure our builds, tools and AI platform work as one. You'll start by leading Backend Delivery directly while we hire its new lead, then step into the full role. Example of
