About the Role
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer for the Core Product team. The role focuses on operating and scaling Kubernetes-based service platforms (both vanilla Kubernetes and AWS EKS), infrastructure automation, writing Helm and GitLab CI pipelines, and automating deployments for complex systems with many dependencies. You will play a key role in ensuring platform reliability and building secure systems for multiple game-related products and regulated markets.
Key Responsibilities
Maintain, operate, and scale Kubernetes clusters (both vanilla and EKS) across environments (dev/stage/pre-prod/prod).
Automate the deployment and lifecycle management of complex systems with a large number of inter-dependencies.
Deploy, manage, and optimize stateful data services and message brokers (Valkey, MongoDB, ClickHouse, NATS) running directly within Kubernetes clusters.
Write and maintain Helm charts and build robust CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI) to standardize and automate deployments.
Manage infrastructure as code with Terraform; design modular and reusable configurations for cloud environments.
Design and implement infrastructure with a security-first mindset, ensuring the deployment of secure systems, zero-trust policies, and access workflows (Vault, RBAC).
Operate service mesh and traffic management layers (Istio, gateways, routing, canary) as well as edge security (Cloudflare).
Work with established observability stacks (Grafana/Prometheus/Coralogix/ELK) to set up alerts, troubleshoot issues, and monitor system health.
Lead production incident troubleshooting, perform blameless RCA, and drive systemic reliability improvements.
Collaborate closely with developers and security teams to support releases and compliance requirements.
Requirements (Must Have)
6+ years of DevOps/SRE/Platform engineering experience.
Deep general Kubernetes expertise, with strong production operations and troubleshooting skills across both vanilla K8s and managed clusters.
Proven experience operating and troubleshooting stateful workloads and databases in Kubernetes (Valkey, MongoDB, ClickHouse, NATS or similar).
Extensive hands-on experience writing Helm charts and building advanced GitLab CI pipelines.
Proven experience in automating the deployment of complex, multi-component systems with numerous dependencies.
Strong understanding of building secure systems, network security fundamentals (TCP/IP, TLS, firewalls), and secrets/access control (Vault).
Strong experience with IaC (Terraform) for cloud environments and Git-based workflows.
Solid GitOps experience (ArgoCD or similar).
Experience with Linux administration and scripting (Bash/Python or Go).
Strong production troubleshooting, debugging, and incident response skills.
Nice to Have
Production experience with Istio and multi-cluster service mesh traffic management.
Experience with AWS cloud services (VPC, IAM, EC2, ALB/NLB).
Hands-on experience with Cloudflare (CDN/WAF/DNS).
Experience with regulated or geo-restricted environments and third-party partner integrations.
