You Will:

• Develop a new and innovative build system with support for distributed builds and caching.
• Work with open source communities as necessary to support bug fixes and addition of features.
• Use profiling abilities to discover and correct inefficiencies in our build system.
• Support other engine teams in growing the build system capabilities to meet their needs.
• Develop tooling to make builds simple from the user perspective.

You Have:

• Deep experience with C++ and its build / compilation model.
• Familiarity with multiple build systems (Make, CMake, Bazel, etc).
