• Define standards and best practices for performance, observability, and maintainability of build pipelines

• Act as a technical partner and mentor to studio engineers, helping teams adopt and extend shared systems effectively

• Innovate with emerging build technologies, cloud and AI

What You'll Bring:

• Fundamental understanding of cloud solution design patterns (microservices, messaging, distributed caching, containers, networking, IAM, etc.) and creating solutions in AWS

• Exceptional experience with infrastructure as code development (AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or Terraform) and gitops practices

• Administration experience or expert knowledge with Perforce

• 3+ years of software development experience including compiled programs (such as C#, Golang, or TypeScript) and scripting (such as Bash, Python, JavaScript)
