In this role, you’ll be responsible for designing, creating, and supporting both on-prem and cloud infrastructure for tooling, orchestration, logging, and operations of Security systems. The ideal candidate will demonstrate Linux proficiency, be self-motivated, have exceptional written and verbal communication skills and will be looking for an excellent opportunity to merge their passions for gaming and security.

• Supporting SPL, dashboard, and knowledge object use-cases for Security, IT, anti-fraud, and development teams

• Like to solve novel and exciting problems

• Feel inspired to make everyone’s job easier by improving workflows
• Are comfortable digging through metrics, logs, and whatever else is available to improve systems and resolve incidents
• Are okay using older technologies that may not be perfect, but are good enough and low maintenance
• Can self-assess the needs of a system or team, and make a case to prioritize that work
• Relish working with software, network, cloud, and other systems engineers to solve problems across all tiers of the stack
• Help your peers succeed as much as you can

Types of projects you may work on…

• Uplifting CI/CD and automations pipelines
• Architecting and engineering data-related Security services and infrastructure
• Configuring and deploying at-scale services across multiple clouds
