Nice to have • A proven ability to manage delivery: planning, prioritisation, and keeping stakeholders informed. • A track record of coordinating work across more than one team and keeping cross-team dependencies under control. • Java or Kotlin, including Android app and NDK/JNI development, and iOS development in Swift or Objective-C. • An understanding of usability, user experience and application design. • Experience with the Qt framework. • CI/CD experience with tooling such as GitLab, Docker and Kubernetes, and Python for automation and testing. • Familiarity with modern AI development tooling and agentic workflows. • Line-management experience. The role may include line-managing one or more developers depending on team shape, but the core of the job is engineering and delivery. • A passion for technology, shown through project work, professional roles or personal projects, and someone who enjoys technical challenges and delivering results. • Self-motivated, flexible and adaptable, and able to cope when thrown in at the deep end. • Understands the importance of planning, prioritization and getting work done on schedule. • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to collaborate with and lead others. • Empathy, and a habit of open communication and effective feedback. • Can own products and features independently, from inception to delivery, while bringing others along rather than delivering solo. A reasonable estimate of the base salary range for this role is: £76 500.00 GBP The actual salary offered may vary within the range based on a candidates' unique experience, locale, and business needs.

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.

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!)

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.

This role sits at Principal or Staff Engineer seniority, aligned with our Technical Managers and Technical Architects in scope and influence. While client facing and influential, the role is technologist first. You may occasionally support pre sales scoping or technical pitches, but your primary value is deep engineering craft, sound system design and reliable enterprise delivery. Technical architecture and hands on engineering capability are mandatory. Based in London (Farringdon), in a hybrid working environment, frequently collaborating with our global studios and partners, you will enjoy working in a team of highly skilled people, all with strong opinions about various technologies, frameworks and approaches. You will articulate your ideas to colleagues effectively whilst also taking on board the ideas of others and remaining solutions focused. You will thrive when faced with new challenges, view them as opportunities and constantly look to improve client offerings. You will work in a progressive environment that fosters a meritocratic culture, surrounded by some of the brightest minds in their fields.
