Senior Tools Engineer at Fortis Games architecting scalable solutions to validate multiplayer game experiences. Collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure infrastructure stability and player experience.
Responsibilities
Architect Load Testing Strategies: Own the end-to-end strategy for simulating high-concurrency environments to identify server-side performance limits.
Develop Headless Clients: Build "headless" versions of the game client to simulate massive player loads efficiently.
Build Bot Infrastructure: Develop automated agents and deployment strategies.
Integrate Automation Frameworks: Partner with engineering to integrate existing automation modules and UI testing tools into the projects.
Engineer Internal Tools: Create and maintain debug menus, validators, and tools that enhance productivity for the broader QA and Design teams.
Optimize for Scalability: Ensure all test code and bot deployments are optimized for performance across cloud-based and local environments.
Requirements
Strong mastery of C# and at least one scripting language (Python, Go, or JavaScript).
Hands-on experience with Unity (or similar engines), including the ability to adapt engine code for performance and "headless" testing.
Proven ability to build game bots and AI-driven agents to simulate complex player behavior and automate gameplay loops at scale.
Experience identifying system capacity limits and simulating high-concurrency environments for multiplayer games.
Expertise in backend-driven validation and simulating user behavior without a frontend/UI.
Deep understanding of game-specific technical challenges, such as network code, latency, and client-server synchronization.
Experience designing debug menus, internal development tools, and reusable components for designers, artists, and engineers.
Knowledge of AWS (EC2, S3) for scaling bot instances and familiarity integrating frameworks with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
