Responsibilities

DevOps Engineer plays a key role in shaping how we manage our cloud infrastructure and game backends. In practice, this means (at least) the following:

  • Managing high-volume game backends and infrastructure on AWS—including implementation, monitoring, operating and troubleshooting

  • Being responsible for scaling, developing and automating the infrastructure

  • Building, supporting and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and release processes for game teams

  • Introducing DevOps culture and ecosystem, and having a real impact on our DevOps practices

Requirements

Every role is eventually shaped to match our unique passions, backgrounds and strengths. Here are some of the key skills and experience you should already have when joining Metacore as a DevOps Engineer:

  • At least 3 years of experience in DevOps, Operations or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) roles

  • Experience on running production workloads in AWS with Kubernetes (EKS) or other container orchestration technologies

  • Ability to support game teams with infrastructure, and application build- and deployment processes—so things run smoothly

  • Good understanding of Linux system administration, and knowledge of infrastructure automation tools (Terraform, CloudFormation)

  • Practical know-how in developing automation scripts with commonly used languages such as Bash and Python

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and high team spirits topped with a can do attitude

In addition to these, it would be nice but not mandatory for you to have these as well:

  • Background in other public cloud providers and technologies

Sounds about right? Then let’s talk!
