Overview
We're looking for a DevOps / Build Engineer to own the systems that turn code and content into shippable games across PC and console.

- Containerize and orchestrate build and service workloads with Docker and Kubernetes.
- Administer and scale source control infrastructure (Perforce, git, SVN, PlasticSCM).
- Build internal tooling and automation in Go, C++, Python, PowerShell, and Bash.
- Set up and maintain observability across the build and infrastructure stack using
