Software Engineer, Infrastructure

At Improbable, we believe that the next revolution in entertainment and society will come from massive virtual worlds. They will create new economies and opportunities globally, changing not just how we play, but how we work and relate to each other. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to build the next generation of technologies for online multi-user games and simulations.

The mission of Improbable Multiplayer Operations is to make launching games uneventful. The Development and Operate team is a key part of this mission, by provisioning, running and scaling the clusters running services that allow games studios and Improbable to run and operate their games on time, securely, and at the correct scale. You’ll join a team of engineers working closely together to enable game developers to do their best work. You’ll have the opportunity to build services that enable games studios to run and operate games at scale.

Our team is focused on enabling our colleagues and customers to run their games safely, scalably and effectively. Over the next year, you’ll be helping us build out a suite of services that’ll allow our customers to run their games in production at scale safely with better observability and performance, leveraging the right combination of bare metal and cloud compute resources on Kubernetes.
