DevOps Engineer at Mountaintop

At Mountaintop, we are building a new kind of game studio focused on crafting multiplayer experiences that challenge players and keep them coming back for just one more round. We are an independent, remote-first team spread across the US and Canada, united by a passion for the games that defined our own childhoods. We believe that the best games are a direct reflection of the people who make them, which is why we prioritize a collaborative, anti-crunch, and inclusive environment. We are looking for people who want to build something special with us.

The opportunity

We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to join us on a contract basis. Your primary mission will be to ensure the smooth operation of our patch generation pipeline for a project built in Unreal Engine. You will act as a bridge between our infrastructure and our development team, using tools like Jenkins to build a robust system that makes our patching and build processes as efficient as possible. This is a vital role for our studio, as your work will directly impact how we deliver updates to our players.

• You will collaborate closely with our developers to understand their specific needs, troubleshooting pipeline issues and implementing automated solutions to reduce manual work.
• You will monitor the performance and resource utilization of our systems, making proactive adjustments to keep our workflows running smoothly.

Who you are

You are a self-motivated professional with a deep love for both playing and creating incredible games. You bring at least 5 years of experience in building systems and are comfortable working in a remote environment. We are looking for someone who is willing to take risks, learn from failure, and communicate effectively in English.

Your background should include:

• Strong experience with Jenkins and Perforce.
• Practical knowledge of Unreal Engine build tools, including BuildGraph, Unreal Automation Tool, and Unreal Build Tool.
• Experience working on live service games.
• Bonus points if you are familiar with AWS, Terraform, and monitoring stacks like Grafana, Prometheus, or the ELK Stack.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python or BASH is a significant plus.
