The Lumberyard team aspires to help game developers create the highest quality games, engage massive communities of fans, and connect their games to the vast compute and storage of the cloud. We are looking for pioneers who can imagine and deliver world-class technology for tomorrow s most celebrated games. If you are excited about the opportunity to invent and build with the entire sandbox of Amazon's ecosystem, including AWS and Twitch, the Lumberyard field engineering team is seeking an experienced game engineer and wants to talk to you.

You will engage with both internal and external studios who use the Lumberyard and GameLift technologies as they develop the next generation of games.
