Frontier Developments are the studio behind Jurassic World Evolution, Elite Dangerous, Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo. We are Britain’s biggest independent publisher and developer of videogames, based among the world-leading technology cluster in the historic city of Cambridge, England.
Frontier produces a wide variety of games to be played on all manner of hardware, peripherals, control schemes, play styles and player abilities. The Release Team specialise in creating, updating and enforcing Frontier Requirements (bespoke requirements that ensure each release goes as expected). They ensure all build configurations are correct for each submission build, and work in the applicable first party portals to release and monitor builds for the public.
Successful candidates will communicate with all roles involved in releasing a build, ensuring that each required job has been completed appropriately and on time. After a release, the team will monitor build health, notifying the game team of the results through a series of reports.
We are seeking a technically minded communicator who is looking to challenge themselves in a role that includes both working as part of a team and on individual assignments. If you have strong technical knowledge of the leading console and PC configurations with a passion for games and game-play then we'd love to hear from you!
You’ll be joining during an exciting period of growth at Frontier and as part your work will help ensure the continued level of accessibility and quality of our current games. We welcome applications from those with or without QA experience.
