[Hiring] DevOps Engineer @Pixaera

Role Description

An infrastructure engineer who can confidently own production systems end to end, and who instinctively automates anything that shouldn't need a human.

• Full-stack infrastructure ownership:
  • Deep, hands-on experience across cloud, CI/CD, monitoring, security and developer experience.
  • You make infrastructure decisions independently, drive platform modernisation, and are trusted with production.
• Reliability leadership:
  • You set and track SLOs (uptime, deploy frequency, recovery time).
  • Own incident response, and build the runbooks and practices that make on-call sustainable.
• Build and pipeline architecture:
  • Design reusable, versioned CI/CD workflows and manage self-hosted runner fleets as code, with golden images and self-healing.
  • Unreal Engine or Windows build experience is a strong plus.
• Scaling compute-heavy workloads:
  • You've scaled long-running render or batch workloads and taken designs from paper to production.
• Cloud cost strategy:
  • Track record of measurable savings through tagging, right-sizing, spot and reserved capacity, and spend visibility.
• Security and compliance:
  • Expertise in secrets management, least-privilege access and patching.
  • Experience with SOC 2, pen testing, and enterprise security reviews is valued.

Qualifications

• 3–6 years in DevOps, platform, SRE or infrastructure engineering.
• Strong hands-on AWS — you've built and operated real production infrastructure, not just consumed it.
• Terraform in earnest: modules, state, code review, and having recovered from a bad apply.
• Kubernetes in production — can debug a failing pod, a broken ingress or a stuck rollout without guessing.
• CI/CD pipeline ownership, ideally GitHub Actions.
• Confident scripting in Python, Go or Bash — enough to automate rather than repeat.
• A monitoring and incident instinct: alerts that mean something, and the discipline to write the runbook afterwards.
• Comfortable being the person who owns a problem in a small team, and asking for help early when it's outside your depth.
• Strong written English — we're largely async and written, and documentation is part of the job.

Requirements

• ArgoCD, Helm or GitOps workflows specifically.
• Cloud cost optimisation with results you can point to.
• Windows build agents, or game/graphics build pipelines (Unreal, Perforce).
• GPU workloads and render infrastructure.
• SOC 2 / ISO 27001 support, penetration test coordination, or compliance automation (Vanta or similar).
• Datadog specifically.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and stock options — everyone shares in what we're building.
• 25 days holiday + public holidays.
• Fully equipped setup from day one (no waiting for laptops).
• Regular company offsites and team socials.
• A flat, transparent culture with direct access to leadership.
