Job Description:

Elevation are re-establishing the boundaries of VR. We’re looking for a Build Pipeline Programmer to help us push those boundaries even further. This is a specialised programming role focused on developing and maintaining build pipelines for Unreal Engine-based VR projects. You’ll work closely with programming, art, and design teams, as well as central functions like Shared Technology and IT.

In this role, you will design, implement, and maintain build pipelines for Unreal Engine projects. You’ll optimise build and deployment processes to improve efficiency and reduce turnaround times, identify and resolve pipeline bottlenecks, automate repetitive tasks to streamline development workflows, and provide technical support for build-related issues.

The rundown:

• 12-month fixed term contract
• Full time (37.5 hours per week)
• Fully remote within the UK
• Salary is competitive and dependent on experience

Key responsibilities:

• Independently implement build and automation features to a professional standard.
• Monitor and troubleshoot live build processes across multiple systems.
• Plan and estimate tasks effectively, balancing priorities and escalating blockers.
• Communicate status updates and write clear documentation for build systems.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across the studio and Shared Technology teams.

Requirements

The skills you’ll need:

• Proficiency in Python and C#.
• Experience with TeamCity (including Kotlin configuration), Perforce, and Unreal Build Graph.
• Familiarity with Unreal automation (C++, Blueprint, or Python).
• Understanding of cloud computing concepts and AWS CLI.
• Basic scripting in Unix/Bash and PowerShell.
• Strong communication skills, especially when explaining technical concepts to non-technical staff.

The nice to haves:

• Experience working on at least one released title for console, PC, VR, or mobile.
• Prior responsibility for implementing and maintaining automated processes.
• Professional experience with Unreal Engine 4 or 5.
• A passion for VR and knowledge of what makes a great VR game.

We are nDreams – we develop and publish the world’s most immersive VR games. You may know us as the developer behind Synapse, Phantom: Covert Ops, Fracked, and Frenzies. As a publisher, we have also supported the release of other studio’s titles including Little Cities, PowerWash Simulator VR, and Vendetta Forever. With humble beginnings as an independent studio, we combine amazing projects with a personal, caring touch. We’ve got more incredible titles to be announced soon!

We believe the best workplaces and games are created by diverse, happy and safe teams. We're committed to building a culture centred on respect, wellbeing and balance. It's crucial we make our games and industry more accessible to underrepresented communities. We strive to live this through the people we hire, the experiences we create and the causes we support.
