What You'll Do

Epic Games Art Ops team is looking for a smart, creative Software Development Engineer in Test Intern. Art Ops is the team that builds the tools, pipelines, and Al workflows our artists use for game development and emerging tech every day. This role focuses on testing those internal tools and frameworks; you'll embed with our team of engineers and technical artists to help design and build everything from Cl pipelines, test plans, and integration tests for our web apps to checks that tell us how well our Al tools are performing.

In this role, you will

  • Write test plans for new tools and features, then turn them into automated tests
  • Help design and build the test framework our team will use going forward, with our engineers reviewing your code
  • Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests for our web apps and pipeline tools
  • Test how Al tools and workflows perform when new models are released, and help build ways to measure their performance
  • Support weekly release testing and turn repeated manual checks into automated tests
  • Investigate test failures, determine why a test broke, and share results with the team
  • Use Al-assisted tools to help run, write, and triage tests, and review what they produce
