Job Description

Position Overview

1047 Games, founded in 2017 by Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian, is a VC-backed company that has raised over $120MM. Driven by a passion for creating the ultimate gaming experience, they developed Splitgate, a unique sci-fi first-person shooter that incorporates portal guns. The company is currently working on a new shooter set in the Splitgate universe. At 1047 Games, you'll find a permanently remote, dedicated team of top-tier talent who share the founders' vision. The team is defined by grit, ingenuity, a desire to have fun, and a startup mentality.

What We're Looking For

A passionate engineer: You love tackling seemingly impossible technical problems and finding creative, robust solutions.
A hard worker: You are willing to put in extra effort because you enjoy your work and bring a high level of craft and professionalism.
A gamer: You have a passion for gaming and understand what distinguishes exceptional games from average ones, which will help you make technical trade-offs and anticipate system needs.
An architect/builder: We are looking for someone who can eliminate fires and anticipate needs, rather than a "firefighter."

Responsibilities

Serve as the chief engineer and architect for the company-wide infrastructure.
Collaborate closely with engineering teams to maintain and improve a state-of-the-art infrastructure layer. This includes:
- Fully automated deployments
- Infrastructure as code
- CI/CD pipelines
- Comprehensive visibility and monitoring
- Automated load testing
- Local-to-cloud development workflows

Requirements

6+ years of experience building cloud infrastructure for distributed systems.
Mastery of core AWS services, including governance, networking, compute, and storage.
Experience with Terraform or other Infrastructure-as-Code tools.
Deep knowledge of operating Kubernetes at scale, leveraging Istio and cloud-native CI/CD tools like ArgoCD.
