The infrastructure team also provides developer-facing services for code management and custom build environments.

A key aspect of this role is fostering “Infrastructure As A Service” across development studios and publishing partners. This will require extensive partnerships to develop solutions that are tailored to the specific business needs while striving for self-service solutions and automation to support efficiency and scalability.

We need a senior-level, business-savvy technology leader who can balance strategic, transformative thinking with hands-on expertise. The successful candidate will be adept at navigating complexity, and clear communications while driving continuous improvement, and scaling operations with a global attitude.

Strategic & multi-functional Partnership
