What You'll Do
We are a new and growing team at Epic, aiming to build innovative new experiences and technology as part of our collaboration with Disney. Our SDETs are, first and foremost, software programmers; they act as force multipliers for quality efforts across the business by providing tools, frameworks, coaching, and education.

- Collaborate with QA and Development teams to craft automation processes that are robust, reliable, and easy to use
- Build relationships and partnerships with internal customers and stakeholders across the company
- Influence the vision for the wider SDET organization at Epic
- As the team grows, you will mentor, coach, and develop a team of SDETs at various career stages
- Maintain excellent technical practices e.g. refactoring, minimizing technical debt, and unit testing, with a focus on continuous improvement
- Develop tools for tester augmentation, backward compatibility, and performance stability
What we're looking for
- Excellent leadership skills, including mentorship, planning technical roadmaps, making trade-offs, and prioritization
- Good knowledge of how game engines work; Experience with either UE4/Unity or a custom internal game engine
- Ability to architect solutions for development and QA when solutions do not exist within the space required
- Experience developing systems and tools that enhance the experience or capabilities of internal partner teams
- Experience with automation frameworks and continuous integration systems
