- Strong understanding and hands-on experience with Kubernetes for container orchestration, including cluster management, application scaling, and ensuring reliability.
- Proficient in automating infrastructure and processes using tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Datadog, Prometheus, or similar, to ensure system reliability and performance.
- Solution-oriented mindset and ability to efficiently resolve complex problems.

- Travailler en étroite collaboration avec les équipes de développement pour répondre à leurs besoins en infrastructure, optimiser l'utilisation des ressources et améliorer les performances et la fiabilité des systèmes en production;
- Participer à une rotation d'astreinte pour répondre aux problèmes d'infrastructure critiques et garantir un temps d'arrêt minimal;
- Utiliser les meilleures pratiques en matière de tests, de sécurité, de surveillance des performances et d'utilisation efficace des ressources.

Il y en a d'autres.

Le rôle DevOps sera essentiel pour maintenir, automatiser et améliorer les systèmes qui alimentent ces jeux, garantissant que tous les services sont fiables, évolutifs et efficaces. Si tu as une passion pour la création et la gestion d’une infrastructure cloud et un talent pour l’optimisation des processus, nous serions ravis d’avoir de tes nouvelles !
