JackBox Games - DevOps Engineer

Description

We have found our niche making games where players use the browser on their mobile devices as controllers. Communication between the web-based controller and the game running on the console all passes through server infrastructure that we develop and operate. You will join our infrastructure team with a primary focus on DevOps to keep our infrastructure running smoothly, but an ideal candidate will also help with development on our server applications.

Responsibilities:

  • Manage operations on our AWS-based infrastructure

  • Improve, automate, and administer our CI/CD pipeline, including running builds, deploying code, running tests, managing multiple environments, and working with our QA team

  • Secure our infrastructure from attacks and data breaches and work with other engineers to ensure we are making intelligent security choices in our application designs

  • Build and maintain internal tools and processes to facilitate development, deployment, and operation of server and web applications

  • Join our on-call rotation to respond to system outages

  • Help develop “Blobcast,” our main server application, including implementing new features, fixing bugs, and reviewing architecture

  • Find and resolve defects and other issues as they come up during development, working with both internal and external QA teams

  • Participate in prototyping and experimentation as we explore and develop new product ideas

  • Participate in team project management activities such as code reviews, sprint planning, review, etc.
