Want to help us build out our datacenter presence? Go for it! The sky is the limit - it all depends on what you want to do.

• Have a passion for both playing and making games

• Are familiar with container orchestration systems (Kubernetes, HashiCorp Nomad, Docker Swarn)

• Are familiar with containers, container registries, etc (Docker, OCI, etc)

• Want to learn how the Internet works at a low-level

You'll be doing:

• Collaborating with cross-disciplinary peers

• Writing code that runs directly on our Kubernetes cluster, which serves millions of players each month

• Thoroughly testing and deploying to millions of players with minimal bugs
