DevOps & Infrastructure Developer | Multiplayer FPS ~ Développeur DevOps et infrastructure | FP[.]
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.
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
