We’re building bold games. Original ideas, high production value, no compromises. To do that, we need a Senior DevOps Engineer who keeps our cloud infrastructure secure, stable, and scalable. If you bring calm under pressure, sharp technical instincts, and a security-first mindset, this one’s for you.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Own cloud infrastructure: Manage and monitor our AWS-based, Kubernetes-driven infrastructure to keep it stable and available across regions.
Codify everything: Define and evolve our infrastructure as code - versioned, reviewed, and repeatable, never hand-configured.
Lock down security: Maintain a high level of security across our environments and stay ahead of critical patches.
Solve incidents fast: Investigate outages and errors, log incident reports, and drive fixes to prevent recurring issues.
Protect the data: Maintain multi-region backups of critical infrastructure and databases for disaster recovery.
Keep deployments flowing: Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and Git-driven deployments, and operate our production PostgreSQL databases.
WHO YOU ARE
Calm under pressure: You stay level-headed when production goes down and lead the response without panic.
Detail-oriented: You catch small issues before they become big problems.
Security-minded: You treat security as a default, not an afterthought.
Clear communicator: You translate technical issues into plain language for producers and engineers.
Ownership-driven: You take responsibility for infrastructure end-to-end, not just your piece of it.
WHAT YOU KNOW
Proven DevOps experience: 5+ years running cloud infrastructure in production.
AWS expertise: Deep, hands-on knowledge of AWS accounts and core AWS services.
Kubernetes in production: Comfortable deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting containerized workloads.
Infrastructure as code: Solid experience with a modern IaC tool and a strong instinct for automation.
Database operations: Experience operating PostgreSQL or a similar database in production.
CI/CD and GitOps: Comfort building and maintaining deployment pipelines and Git-driven delivery workflows.
Cross-functional collaboration: Experience working with producers and engineers, tracking work through JIRA.
Bonus: Familiarity with ISO27001 or similar security and compliance frameworks.
