DevOps Engineer

Remote

Mob Entertainment is a startup multimedia studio that is best known for our hit indie horror game "Poppy Playtime".  This franchise is one of the hottest new properties in gaming, and our team is naturally expanding as our ambition expands.  To give a taste of our brand's popularity, more than 100 billion YouTube views of Poppy Playtime related content have occured since the game's launch 4 years ago. 

 

MUST HAVE VIDEO GAMES EXPERIENCE.

Mob Entertainment is seeking a Junior or Mid-Level DevOps Engineer to join our growing Developer Operations team. This role will directly support the infrastructure, tooling, and workflows that power development across all of Mob’s games - including our flagship Poppy Playtime franchise and upcoming original titles.

 

You’ll work alongside our lead DevOps engineer to maintain, scale, and improve our build and deployment pipelines, reduce iteration times, and unlock greater velocity for all development teams. This role is critical to ensuring that engineers, designers, artists, and QA can move quickly, safely, and efficiently throughout the production cycle.

If you’re a builder at heart with a passion for tooling, automation, and solving real-world production problems, we want to hear from you.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Support and maintain CI/CD pipelines, including automation for build generation, testing, and deployment across multiple projects.
  • Assist with managing Perforce source control, including branching strategies, access, and sync issues.
  • Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve build stability, lighting compilation, PCV issues, and packaging workflows.
  • Work closely with the Lead DevOps Engineer to implement systems such as Gauntlet, UGS or UGS-like tools, derived data cache infrastructure, and future-proofed automation layers.
  • Help deliver builds to QA and production teams with consistency, clarity, and minimal turnaround time.
  • Participate in release planning and serve as a key partner during patch integration and shipping milestones.
  • Ensure uptime and continuity of tools and infrastructure - reducing single-point-of-failure risks and increasing build redundancy.
  • Proactively identify workflow bottlenecks and contribute to new tooling or automation that improves day-to-day development across the studio.
  • Support studio cybersecurity readiness and incident response processes as needed.

Requirements:

  • 1–4 years of experience in a DevOps, Build Engineering, or Systems Engineering role (games or adjacent industries).
  • Working knowledge of CI/CD systems (e.g., Jenkins, TeamCity, GitLab CI, etc.) and build automation scripting (e.g., PowerShell, Python, Bash).
  • Experience with Unreal Engine.
  • Experience with Perforce or other VCS tools, and comfort navigating large repositories.
  • Familiarity with build pipelines, packaging systems, and engine-specific data compilation (e.g., lightmaps, shaders, PCVs).
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and a methodical approach to diagnosing and resolving technical issues.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills; able to collaborate effectively with cross-disciplinary teams.
  • Eagerness to learn, grow, and adapt in a fast-paced, multi-project environment.

Pluses:

  • Experience supporting Unreal Engine build systems in a shipped game environment.
  • Familiarity with UGS (Unreal Game Sync), Gauntlet, or similar automated build/distribution tools.
  • Understanding of derived data cache (DDC) optimization and configuration.
  • Scripting or tool development experience in C#, Python, or similar.
  • Interest or experience in cybersecurity / infrastructure monitoring is a bonus.

Performance Expectations:

  • Increase studio build reliability and speed, reducing bottlenecks and downtime for other departments.
  • Help create redundancy in DevOps support, reducing dependency on a single engineer.
  • Maintain clear documentation, clean build logs, and accessible tools for team-wide usage.
  • Proactively participate in infrastructure improvements to unlock long-term velocity across all game teams.

Reporting & Oversight:

  • Reports to: Lead DevOps Engineer
  • Works closely with: Engineering, QA, Technical Design, Production
  • Communication Tools: Slack, Jira, Confluence

If you're ready to help build the systems that build the games, and you want to make a studio-wide impact by supporting every team, this role is a critical part of Mob’s next chapter.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
