We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our development team in Copenhagen who will work with the infrastructure and management of our internal development systems.

DevOps - Creating, maintaining and modifying build systems and services

Programming - Building windows and server applications

Server maintenance - Deploying, maintaining and monitoring server development

In general, you will work directly with the production team and closely with QA and systems engineering to support the development of our games and be the first line of defence to keep services running smoothly.

  • Setting up, maintaining and growing internal systems, processes and workflows that allow our development team to work efficiently
  • Communicating with a broad team of game developers and artists.
  • Helping to solve technical queries and requests and ensuring that everyone has the right systems and workflows to be fully productive.
  • Managing Perforce and servers
  • Automating systems
  • Diagnosing issues with interdependencies of various services
  • Working closely with the wider IT team as needed

What we would like to see:

  • Experience working with a CI/CD pipeline for a range of constantly evolving internal tools and systems
  • Prior professional infrastructure experience working with backup systems, Perforce and networking
  • Working knowledge of server software development, deployment, maintenance and monitoring
  • Working knowledge of server hardware maintenance
  • You are comfortable scripting automation with existing tools and creating new tools when required
  • Strong problem solving skills and an ability to proactively identify potential issues as we grow
  • You enjoy helping others and think about how to resolve technical limitations simply and effectively

We would like to see experience with the following languages and systems:

  • Linux
  • C#
  • Javascript
  • Python
  • Bash
  • Powershell
  • Docker
  • Ansible

Bonus points if you have worked with Unity or Unreal.

We are open minded about the technologies we deploy and we are always open to consider new options to solve emerging challenges.
