• Support game production environments leveraging Cloud solutions as well as develop tools and services for those solutions;
• Work with DevOps best practices and implement CI/CD pipelines;
• Implement automation of recurrent tasks through scripting; 
• Monitor system events to ensure health, maximum system availability, and service quality;
• Troubleshoot emergencies;
• Maintain documentation regarding configurations, operations, and troubleshooting procedures;
• Participate in post-mortem and root cause analysis;
• Participate in the evaluation of new requirements such as technical designs, the definition of standards, guidelines, best practices, and metrics as directed;
• Collaborate closely with Online Developers and Live Operations to deploy new features and updates;
• Answer user’s queries and service requests.

*Must be available for on-call rotation*
