Join us as Principal DevOps Engineer in ourdevelopment team!
At Twin Harbour Interactive we strive to develop high-quality strategy games and make them accessible for all players around the world. In our eyes game development is a promise for fun and entertainment – that’s what we live and aim for!
As a Principal DevOps Engineer, you will be part of our interdisciplinary team developing, building and running our online games. You can expect a professional and international working environment covering great games and a wide scope of technologies:
In the backend, our games share a self-built Java game engine, together with a containerized API written in PHP that we constantly extend and improve. Servers run on a distributed architecture in the Google Cloud and use MySQL for data storage.
In the DevOps engineering, you will work with technologies and services like Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD, Ansible, AWX, GitHub Actions, DataDog, Docker, Grafana, Sentry, SonarQube, Jenkins and production systems utilizing Google Kubernetes Engine, Linux based VMs, Nginx, Redis, Memcached.
The frontend engine currently uses a modern HTML5 / WebGL / TypeScript / Vue.js stack, deployed to different kinds of platforms like desktop browser, Steam, iOS and Android. Existing and future games will transition to a Unity-based frontend. We launched our first game already and have more exciting upcoming releases planned for this year and beyond.
