With multiple awards to our name, Larian Studios has proven that we’re dedicated to delivering high-quality role-playing games. As we move on to new projects, the studio that brought you Baldur’s Gate 3 & Divinity: Original Sin 2 is looking for a Senior Automation Engineer to help us automate the development processes.
We’re forming a pioneering new Automation team of programmers and technical innovators focused on accelerating game development through cutting-edge tools, procedural generation, and machine learning. This cross-functional team will work across engine, gameplay, and tools development to build intelligent systems that empower our artists, designers, and storytellers — and help us tackle the scale and depth our games demand.
You’ll be at the heart of exploring and implementing smart automation — from content creation pipelines to testing workflows — driving efficiency without compromising our signature handcrafted feel.
Responsibilities

* Provide support for other team members during critical stages of development
* Writing and updating documentation

* Experience in a similar position in another company
* Good communication skills in spoken and written English

Nice to have

* Knowledge of Perforce
* Knowledge of Jenkins and Groovy
* Good knowledge of relational databases (RDBMs)
What We Offer
* An international team of over 500 employees spread across 7 studios around the world, each of which have their own unique qualities, and maintain a small-studio feel
