Based in the heart of Leamington Spa, Pixel Toys have spent over a decade pushing the capabilities of mobile gaming. We have developed multiple award winning titles, including: Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realm War; and we're now excited to be exclusively working on a new game, unlike ANYTHING we've done previously! As a forward thinking and innovative studio we are always looking for new technologies and techniques to develop and use in our games and make them even more engaging experiences for our customers. We are excited to continue to grow our team and are always on the lookout for highly talented and motivated individuals, who are passionate about gaming and excited to join us on our ambitious journey! The Role: Working alongside our current Release Manager, act as the technical "air traffic controller" for our entire development pipeline! In this critical role you will deeply embed yourself with the engineering and product teams to understand exactly what is being delivered in every release cycle, managing complex code and branch merges to ensure that our client, server, data, and live operations deployments remain predictable, stable, and seamless. As the primary gatekeeper for version control, you will orchestrate merges across multiple development branches to prevent conflicts and regression, keeping a sharp eye on build health and ensuring our main deployment branches remain absolutely stable. You will strategically plan and coordinate with Production to schedule game updates, patches, hotfixes, and live ops content into a flexible, living release calendar that can adapt to both planned and unplanned changes. Through shepherding new features smoothly through the workflow, you will help guide them from initial scope lock all the way through QA approvals, platform submission, and post release care while communicating daily priorities and branch dependencies to the wider game team. On the deployment front, you will be responsible for overseeing storefront operations for both iOS and Android platforms via App Store Connect and the Google Play Developer Console, tracking live client and server rollouts alongside player impacting telemetry to guarantee absolute stability. Technical risks or blockers won't stand in your way. Instead, you will proactively identify and mitigate them, participating actively in critical go/no go decisions before major milestones. If deployment issues arise, you will confidently coordinate rollback or hotfix plans to minimise player impact, subsequently leading postmortems to translate incident learnings into documented, automated, or refined release processes that continuously improve our deployment pipeline. About you: Join Pixel Toys as a seasoned deployment specialist with proven experience as a Release Manager, Deployment Manager, or Technical Project Manager working on live service and free to play mobile games. Possessing a robust technical foundation in version control systems like Git and Perforce, with a sophisticated understanding of complex branching strategies, merge tracking, and dependency management. Your platform expertise features hands on experience with build orchestration and automation tools, CI/CD pipelines, TestFlight, and the direct management of submissions via App Store Connect and the Google Play Developer Console. Beyond your logistical expertise, you are an autonomous self starter with a proactive mindset, capable of confidently diving deep into technical specifications, speaking the same language as our engineering teams, and extracting exactly what is required for each build. You will also be an exceptional cross functional communicator who excels at bridging the gap between highly technical issues and high level business goals, smoothly translating complex merge challenges into clear, actionable risks for producers and product managers alike. What can Pixel Toys offer: At Pixel Toys we are proud of the progressive, inclusive, and collaborative working environment we have created; a place where everyone has the opportunity to be themselves and is welcomed and valued for who they are and what they contribute. We have some fantastic benefits we offer our employees Here are just some of them: Competitive salary, reviewed annually 25 days annual leave, excluding bank holidays Discretionary Bonus Scheme Up to 3 additional long service days (duvet days!)
