🎼 DevOps & Infrastructure Developer | Multiplayer FPS ~ 🎼 DĂ©veloppeur DevOps et infrastructure | FPS multijoueur

Tired of deploys nobody notices? Players notice everything. Own the K8s/AWS/Terraform stack behind Shrapnel, our 4v4 competitive shooter. Montreal hybrid, real ownership, no hero on-call. Apply.

We usually respond within two weeks

🎼 The Project

Shrapnel is a 4v4 PvP extraction shooter where teams race to collect Sigma — a powerful resource scattered across the arena — and extract 300 of it before the other team does. Semi-realistic gunplay, Sigma-powered abilities, and a constant tension between offense, defense, and resource control.

That's the game. Your job is making sure it runs.

We need a DevOps & Infrastructure Developer to own the infrastructure underneath: the Kubernetes fleet hosting matches, the Terraform-defined AWS backbone, the CI/CD pipeline that gets builds out safely, the observability stack that tells us when a region is degrading before players post about it.

đŸ’Œ Your Mission

  • Multi-cluster Kubernetes for game server hosting (Helm)

  • AWS infrastructure in Terraform (EKS, VPC, EC2, CloudFront)

  • GitHub Actions CI/CD

  • Secrets management (HashiCorp Vault preferred)

  • Cost optimization across the fleet

  • Full observability stack — server health, match quality, latency

✅ What You Bring

  • 3-5+ years DevOps/infrastructure/SRE

  • Production Kubernetes + Helm

  • AWS: EKS, VPC, EC2, CloudFront

  • Terraform (IaC, no ClickOps)

  • GitHub Actions or equivalent

  • Prometheus / Grafana

  • Python or Bash

Honest filters — this role is NOT for you if:

  • You need fully remote (we're hybrid Montreal, 1-2 days/week)

  • You haven't run Kubernetes in production

  • You're hoping gaming infra is "like SaaS but with cooler logos" — it isn't

  • You want a large platform team to backstop you

⭐ Bonus Points

  • HashiCorp Vault

  • GameLift, Agones, or custom game server orchestration

  • Live-service / competitive multiplayer infra background

  • A real cost-savings story

🚀 Why Ironbelly Studios?

The Team: Ironbelly Studios has contributed to over 300+ projects across AAA and indie — work spanning franchises like Batman and PUBG.

The Shrapnel team includes BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning developers from Neon Machine, with individual backgrounds spanning Halo, Call of Duty, Star Wars, and Bioshock.

The Impact: This isn't maintaining existing systems - you're building multiplayer architecture from the ground up for a game that will define a new genre of player-owned competitive gaming.

The Culture: Trust-based, data-driven, and autonomous. We value continuous improvement and high-quality craftsmanship in a collaborative environment.

📍 Location

Hybrid - Montreal - 2–3 days/week at Basecamp in beautiful Montreal. Not remote. If you're outside Montreal and not seriously open to relocating, this role isn't going to work — please don't burn the cycles applying.

Relocation package to be discussed for ideal candidates.

🎼 Le projet

Shrapnel est un jeu de tir PvP en mode extraction Ă  4 contre 4 oĂč les Ă©quipes s'affrontent pour rĂ©cupĂ©rer du Sigma — une ressource puissante dissĂ©minĂ©e dans l'arĂšne — et en extraire 300 unitĂ©s avant l'Ă©quipe adverse. Des combats Ă  l'arme Ă  feu semi-rĂ©alistes, des capacitĂ©s alimentĂ©es par le Sigma et une tension constante entre attaque, dĂ©fense et contrĂŽle des ressources.

VoilĂ  en quoi consiste le jeu. Votre mission est de veiller Ă  ce qu'il fonctionne.

Nous recherchons un DĂ©veloppeur DevOps et infrastructure pour prendre en charge l'infrastructure sous-jacente : la flotte Kubernetes hĂ©bergeant les matchs, la dorsale AWS dĂ©finie par Terraform, le pipeline CI/CD qui assure la sĂ©curitĂ© des builds, et la pile d'observabilitĂ© qui nous alerte lorsqu'une rĂ©gion subit une dĂ©gradation avant mĂȘme que les joueurs ne le signalent.

đŸ’Œ Votre mission

  • Kubernetes multi-clusters pour l'hĂ©bergement de serveurs de jeux (Helm)

  • Infrastructure AWS dans Terraform (EKS, VPC, EC2, CloudFront)

  • CI/CD avec GitHub Actions

  • Gestion des secrets (de prĂ©fĂ©rence HashiCorp Vault)

  • Optimisation des coĂ»ts Ă  l'Ă©chelle du parc

  • Pile d'observabilitĂ© complĂšte — Ă©tat des serveurs, qualitĂ© des parties, latence

✅ Ce que vous apportez

  • 3 Ă  5 ans d'expĂ©rience ou plus en DevOps/infrastructure/SRE

  • Kubernetes en production + Helm

  • AWS : EKS, VPC, EC2, CloudFront

  • Terraform (IaC, pas de ClickOps)

  • GitHub Actions ou Ă©quivalent

  • Prometheus / Grafana

  • Python ou Bash

Filtres honnĂȘtes — ce poste n'est PAS pour vous si :

  • Vous avez besoin d'un poste entiĂšrement Ă  distance (nous sommes en mode hybride Ă  MontrĂ©al, 2 Ă  3 jours par semaine)

  • Vous n'avez jamais utilisĂ© Kubernetes en production

  • Vous pensez que l'infrastructure de jeux vidĂ©o est « comme le SaaS, mais avec des logos plus sympas » — ce n'est pas le cas

  • Vous souhaitez ĂȘtre soutenu par une grande Ă©quipe de plateforme

⭐ Points bonus

  • HashiCorp Vault

  • GameLift, Agones ou orchestration personnalisĂ©e de serveurs de jeux

  • ExpĂ©rience en infrastructure de services en ligne / multijoueur compĂ©titif

  • Un vĂ©ritable exemple de rĂ©duction des coĂ»ts

🚀 Pourquoi Ironbelly Studios ?

L'équipe de Shrapnel compte des développeurs de Neon Machine, lauréats de prix BAFTA et Emmy, dont les expériences professionnelles s'étendent à des titres comme Halo, Call of Duty, Star Wars et Bioshock.

L'impact : Il ne s'agit pas de maintenir des systÚmes existants, mais de construire de A à Z une architecture multijoueur pour un jeu qui définira un nouveau genre de jeu compétitif appartenant aux joueurs.

La culture : Basée sur la confiance, axée sur les données et autonome. Nous valorisons l'amélioration continue et un savoir-faire de haute qualité dans un environnement collaboratif.

📍 Lieu
