The DevOps Engineer for the Developer Support Team is a new position at Gearbox. Your expertise is needed to help transition our Online Game Engine software builds to a cloud-based CI/CD with secure role-based delivery of build artifacts to third-party developers. The Shift Online Game Engine includes a constellation of online features and services that power our connected games. We started building the platform about a decade ago for our own games. As more partners and friends want to make use of what our team has built, we've continued to invest in maturing and scaling our practice.
As a principle technical designer, you will provide crucial input to the planning phase and help us build out and maintain this new infrastructure. You should feel comfortable bringing architectural design proposals to the table for consideration among your colleagues on our software and infrastructure development teams. You will be responsible for driving the implementation of flexible cloud architectures with an automation-first emphasis; manual user intervention likely makes you uneasy and maybe even a little twitchy. We would expect a successful candidate for this position to be a self-starter with the ability to complete tasks independently. Though you will have access to technical leadership and senior engineers at your disposal, you should feel well acquainted with tackling complex problems without significant oversight.
