DevOps Engineer II

Do you feel at home in the areas between systems engineering, operations, and software development? Are you passionate about build systems, automation, CI/CD for enterprise-grade on-premises and cloud environments?

The applications are 3D graphics heavy, and their CI/CD setups include intricate system tests, such as screenshot testing. The CI/CD runs on top of an in-house DevOps platform-as-a-service (PaaS), which integrates with a global infrastructure that allows us to deliver high-quality software to millions of users.
