We're just getting started with Lumberyard. We have an excellent team with long tenure building some of the industry's most respected games, but we are still growing fast and have many positions left to fill. We're looking for pioneers who can imagine and deliver world-class technology for tomorrow's most celebrated games. We're looking for the best people in the industry to join our team of veterans. If you're excited about the opportunity to invent and build with the entire sandbox of Amazon technology, including AWS and Twitch, we want to talk to you.

As an SDET on the Lumberyard Automation Tech Team, you will design and build our Automation frameworks, test harnesses, and tools that enable continuous testing, integration, and deployment. You will work with Developers, QA Engineers, and Product Managers on our internal game and AWS technology teams to understand tooling needs to enable automation and improve engineering efficiency. You will be designing and developing automated solutions that help guarantee the software quality across a wide range of devices and across multiple platforms (PC, Linux, Mobile, Mac, Console).

If you want to deliver high quality releases for state-of-the-art game technology, Amazon Game Services is the place for you. As an SDET on the Tech Test Engineer Team, you are a developer whose feature is our automation frameworks and tools, will drive testability of our software architecture, and guide best practices for automated testing. You will have a significant impact on our systems, our business and most importantly, our customers. Most importantly, you enable good quality engineering practices among the Development team.You will be working across teams to ensure quality development and quality of our applications and platforms. We are working with exciting new technologies and solving complex automation problems across different platforms. If you are creative, customer focused, have a passion for QA and test automation and enjoy working in a fast paced environment, this team is right for you.

The ideal candidate is a natural problem solver with a passion for gaming, enjoys working with developers and QA Engineers to enable them to develop automation and Continuous Integration of code, enjoys finishing projects, and obsesses about the quality of the Game Engine constantly. You'll have the freedom (and encouragement) to experiment and innovate, to improve existing processes and invent new ones, and not be limited by "that's not how we do things here." You'll have an opportunity to work on a Game Engine that push the boundaries of technology. You'll have a tangible impact on our engine, our games, our business and -- most importantly -- our customers. And you'll have the satisfaction of being able to look back and say you were a key contributor to something special from its earliest stages.

In this role, you will:

* Contribute to engineering efforts from design to implementation, solving complex technical challenges around developer and engineering productivity and velocity.
* Design and build advanced automated build, test and release infrastructure.
* Drive adoption of best practices in code health, testing, and maintainability
* Analyze and decompose complex software systems and collaborate with cross-functional teams to influence design for testability
* Build and ensure our code artifactories are building in Continuous Integration (CI) fashion so that we may soon realize our dream of Continuous Delivery (CD)
* Contribute streamlined automated data for our engineering dashboards to allow our decisions to be data-driven
