Summary

Supports and scales AWS infrastructure for a real-money gaming platform that runs isolated cloud deployments for each global partner. Day to day: IaC with Pulumi/TypeScript, GitHub Actions CI/CD, blue-green deployments, SRE observability and incident response, security/compliance, and FinOps cost optimization.

Описание: We are an agile gaming innovation group building a proprietary ecosystem of games and platform tools. Operating within a larger global organization, we already manage a suite of titles that are processing tens of millions in real-money transactions. We tackle high-scale complexity by deploying isolated, cloud environments for each of our global partners. We are at the intersection of next-generation Provably Fair gaming, social gaming and live-ops tooling.

Задачи:

  • Supporting a rapidly increasing number of isolated deployments, where each partner integration results in multiple backend services deployed independently.
  • Designing deployment pipelines that scale with the number of partners, without copy-paste or fragile manual processes.
  • Maintaining high reliability, high-availability systems with fail-overs, where failures and downtime can have significant business impact.
  • Balancing automation, governance, and security in a regulated environment.
  • Design, operate, and improve AWS-based infrastructure across multiple regions and environments.
  • Manage infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi with TypeScript).
  • Apply SRE principles to reduce operational toil and enhance observability/alerting.
  • Improve system resilience and failure isolation per partner environment.
  • Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).
  • Build scalable, multi-tenant deployment workflows that support automated promotion, failover, and rollbacks.
  • Support HA deployments for internal and partner facing tools and dashboards.
  • Maintain blue-green deployments and improve rollback automation.
  • Work within a peer-reviewed change process and long-term production approval requirements.
  • Maintain and improve monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.
  • Ensure alerts are actionable and aligned with real player impact.
  • Design and formalize incident response processes.
  • Lead and participate in blameless postmortems, with shared ownership of follow-ups.
  • Support secure system design, secrets management, and access control.
  • Enable and integrate security scanning and secure SDLC practices into CI/CD.
  • Prepare systems for external security audits and compliance requirements.
  • Take ownership of cloud cost awareness and optimization (FinOps is part of the role).
  • Help establish shared responsibility for operational quality and promote reliability-aware system design.
  • Collaborate with technical leadership on prioritization and long-term production approval requirements.
  • Contribute to long-term plans for scalability and operational robustness of core platform components.

Требования:

  • 7+ years of experience in DevOps, Infrastructure, Platform, or SRE-adjacent roles.
  • Strong hands‑on experience with AWS.
  • Practical experience with Infrastructure as Code tools.
  • Working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript.
  • Experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines.
  • Solid understanding and application of SRE concepts, including: alerting strategy, incident response, reliability vs velocity trade-offs, automation to reduce operational toil.
  • Some experience with distributed systems or message brokers (NATS, Kafka, etc).
  • Action‑Oriented: Focused on delivering results through effective cross‑functional collaboration and driving projects to completion.
  • An Owner: Able to manage complex systems independently, take full accountability, and engage the team proactively.
  • A Clear Communicator: Skilled at documenting technical impacts, keeping teams aligned, and communicating changes before we pre.
  • Decisive: Grounded in strong engineering judgment when balancing code refactoring.
  • Будет плюсом: Compute: ECS, EC2, Fargate, Lambda (EKS experience is a plus); Experience with cloud cost optimization and FinOps practices a plus.
  • Degree in sciences/ CS/engineering preferred but not required.
  • We look for experience and passion

Условия:

  • Ownership and Independence: We believe in trusting our team members and working through collaboration.
  • Growth: We are a high-growth startup backed by an industry giant with significant resources to power growth.
  • Culture: A creative, driven, and transparent environment where we value "getting stuff done" over red tape.
