About the Position

Mid SDET / Tools Engineer (Unreal Engine 5)

Room 8 Group is an end-to-end strategic partner in external game development. Working across all platforms, we provide creative and technical expertise across game development, technology, art, trailers, and QA for AAA and AA games.

Our Game Development team provides comprehensive co-dev and full-cycle dev solutions, across all platforms. We’ve helped make some of the biggest games of the past decade, like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and III, and we work with dozens of the world’s biggest publishers and developers.

Through primarily organic growth, we are proudly independent, now home to around 1,100 creatives based in Europe, North America, and South America.

The next great challenge is coming:

As a Mid SDET / Tools Engineer, you will build and maintain engineering tools used daily by developers across the project. You will work primarily in C++ (Unreal Engine 5) and Python (DCC and pipeline tools), delivering well-scoped features end-to-end under the guidance of senior engineers.

You will also contribute to the SDET domain by supporting and extending the internal test automation framework and writing automated tests for the tools you develop.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain UE5 editor and runtime tools in C++
• Build pipeline and DCC tools in Python (Blender, Maya, Houdini)
• Implement editor features using Unreal Engine plugins, subsystems, Slate/UMG or Dear ImGui
• Integrate tooling with Perforce, REST/JSON APIs, and CI/CD systems
• Write and maintain automated tests for your tools (unit, integration, and end-to-end)
• Debug and root-cause technical issues across tooling and pipeline systems
• Support QA, artists, and engineers in using internal tools effectively
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards
• Collaborate with senior engineers on architecture and design decisions
• Continuously improve tooling quality, stability, and performance

Requirements

• Solid modern C++ development experience
• Hands-on Unreal Engine 5 experience (C++ plugins, UMG/Slate or Dear ImGui, subsystems, reflection system)
• Strong Python skills (scripting, pytest, CLI tools)
• Experience with Perforce (p4) in production workflows
• REST API / JSON integration experience
• Understanding of 3D content pipelines (LODs, materials, draw calls, collision)
• Ability to deliver scoped features end-to-end with limited supervision
• Experience writing automated tests (unit/integration/e2e)
• 2+ years of professional software development or technical tools/QA engineering experience with UE exposure

Nice to Have

• DCC scripting (Blender, Maya, Substance Painter, etc.)
• Houdini (SOPs / PDG/TOPs)
• C# /.NET (for test automation framework contribution)
• CI/CD experience (GitLab CI, Jenkins)
• Unreal performance profiling (Unreal Insights, Stat system)
• Knowledge of Nanite, Lumen, World Partition, PCG, ISM
• Experience with image capture / visual regression tooling
• Exposure to AI/LLM-assisted development or tooling

We Offer
