Senior DevOps Engineer

We’re building a new Remote Game Server (RGS) platform from scratch, and the Senior DevOps Engineer will play a key role in designing and delivering the infrastructure that transforms standalone game logic into a resilient, high‑throughput SaaS for multiple jurisdictions.

The DevOps role works closely with our core development teams, who actively adopt modern technologies and delivery practices. As the team structure evolves, a proactive mindset and out‑of‑the‑box thinking are essential.

This is a green-field role: you won't be maintaining someone else's stack, you'll be shaping ours.

What you'll do:

• Design and build the foundational infrastructure for a new RGS platform, from CI/CD pipelines through to production runtime and observability.
• Apply Site Reliability Engineering best practices to deliver a SaaS that meets demanding quality attributes (see below), with particular focus on the low-latency, high-throughput, and high-availability characteristics an RGS demands.
• Build and operate the systems that transform standalone game software into a scalable, multi-tenant SaaS.
• Own infrastructure-as-code, automated deployments, autoscaling, disaster recovery, and incident response tooling.
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and tracing so that issues are caught and diagnosed fast, and so the platform is predictable under heavy concurrent load.
• Partner with development teams to embed reliability, security, and operability into the architecture rather than bolting them on later.
• Help define standards and ways of working for a DevOps function that is still taking shape.

Quality attributes we care about:

You'll be designing systems with these properties front of mind: Security, Responsiveness, Availability, Recoverability, Survivability, Predictability, Stability, Speed, Efficiency, Throughput, Scalability, Serviceability, Maintainability, Sustainability, Repair Speed, Testability, Modifiability, Configurability, Adaptability, Extensibility, Modularity, and Install ability.

The ideal candidate has a track record of designing and building systems that genuinely deliver these attributes, not just naming them in a diagram.

About you:

• A strong technologist with both software engineering and technical operations backgrounds.
• Proven experience designing and building SRE solutions using modern technologies and best practices.
• Comfortable operating in an environment where requirements and team structure evolve, and able to bring structure where it's missing.

Technical skills:

• Proven experience with AWS and keen to learn Azure, or
• Experience with Azure and a desire to learn AWS, or
• Expert knowledge of Kubernetes plus one of the major clouds.

Alongside the cloud/Kubernetes foundation, we'd expect strength in several of: infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform), CI/CD tooling, containerization, observability stacks (metrics, logging, tracing), networking and security fundamentals, and automation/scripting.

Nice to have:

• Experience with iGaming, RGS, or other regulated, real-time, high-concurrency platforms.
• Familiarity with the compliance and certification demands of gaming jurisdictions.
• Experience scaling systems that must stay responsive under unpredictable, spiky load.
• Experience with Windows containers (and orchestrating them, e.g. on Kubernetes or ECS).
