We are building a Lead DevOps Engineer role to own and evolve the AWS platform behind a custom VDI solution and cloud playtesting/streaming services. You will drive infrastructure-as-code, ECS/EKS operations, AWS Lambda automation, and GitHub Actions CI/CD standards while optimizing GPU EC2 cost/performance and leading incident response across the platform. Apply now to help keep the platform reliable, efficient, and scalable

Responsibilities

• Administer EKS clusters that host and enable GitHub Actions runners, including necessary platform customizations
• Optimize and right-size GPU-enabled EC2 capacity to meet user experience goals under strict cloud cost controls
• Assess scaling behavior continuously, monitor utilization, and identify performance bottlenecks
• Implement and maintain AWS Lambda functions that automate cleanup tasks, on-demand provisioning, and operational workflows
• Standardize and improve GitHub Actions pipelines for Terraform plan/apply workflows, infrastructure releases, and container image build/publish/deploy processes
• Lead troubleshooting and service restoration for platform-wide degradations such as VDI session drops, authentication issues, and machine/storage failures
• Coordinate incident resolution across teams by driving investigation, mitigation, and follow-up actions
• Create and keep current run books, operational documentation, and onboarding materials
