Build Engineer; On-Site

Overview

About Offworld Industries:

Offworld Industries Ltd. (Offworld) is the independent studio behind the successful military first-person shooter game, “Squad”. Offworld was formed in 2014 by more than 15 developers who had worked together on the well known Project Reality mod for Battlefield 2. The founding purpose of the team was to bring a standalone successor of this acclaimed mod to market and build a game development studio and a livelihood from that foundation.

Fast forward to 2025, Offworld has almost 150 employees and is rapidly growing. We have been expanding the studio into serving as a publisher supporting mods and have released our newest title, "Starship Troopers:
Extermination", a 16-player PvE first-person shooter based on the 1997 cult-classic film. We are built on passion, unified spirit and continuing efforts to break the mold. We strive to become a leader in creating large-scale multiplayer games as well as supplying others with the ability to do the same. Joining the Central Tech team as a Build Engineer is an opportunity to work closely with creative and technical teams to deliver solutions that support highly regarded game titles at Offworld Industries.
