Job description

Room 8 Group is an end-to-end strategic partner in external game development. Working across all platforms, we provide creative and technical expertise across game development, technology, art, trailers, and QA for AAA and AA games.

Our Game Development team provides comprehensive co-dev and full-cycle dev solutions, across all platforms. We’ve helped make some of the biggest games of the past decade, like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and III, and we work with dozens of the world’s biggest publishers and developers.

Through primarily organic growth, we are proudly independent, now home to around 1,100 creatives based in Europe, North America, and South America.

As a Mid SDET / Tools Engineer, you will build and maintain engineering tools used daily by developers across the project. You will work primarily in C++ (Unreal Engine 5) and Python (DCC and pipeline tools), delivering well-scoped features end-to-end under the guidance of senior engineers.

You will also contribute to the SDET domain by supporting and extending the internal test automation framework and writing automated tests for the tools you develop.

• Knowledge of Nanite, Lumen, World Partition, PCG, ISM
• Experience with image capture / visual regression tooling
• Exposure to AI/LLM-assisted development or tooling

Becoming part of Room 8 Group, you will:

• Develop and maintain UE5 editor and runtime tools in C++
• Build pipeline and DCC tools in Python (Blender, Maya, Houdini)
• Integrate tooling with Perforce, REST/JSON APIs, and CI/CD systems
• Write and maintain automated tests for your tools (unit, integration, and end‑to‑end)
• Debug and root‑cause technical issues across tooling and pipeline systems
• Support QA, artists, and engineers in using internal tools effectively
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards
• Collaborate with senior engineers on architecture and design decisions
• Continuously improve tooling quality, stability, and performance

Jointhe team of inspiring game dev professionals, and get even more:
