DevOps Engineer

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Our client is a game developer and licensor with a portfolio that has evolved from mid-to-heavy online titles into casual and board games. Its early self-developed, licence-operated series include Kings and Legends, Hero’s Crown, Heroines of Three Kingdoms, Endless Battles and Legends of Fairies, followed by high-turnover casual titles such as Fish War, Snack War, Star Chronicle and a range of board and puzzle games.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a skilled DevOps Engineer to join our team in Singapore. You will build and operate the infrastructure, automation and delivery systems that support our games, backend services, public websites, publishing and release operations, and internal platforms such as wikis and administrative tools.

The role spans local CI with Jenkins, automated checks in GitLab CI, containerized and Kubernetes-based environments, and cloud deployments. You will work with engineering, QA, product, publishing and operations teams to make delivery secure, repeatable, observable and resilient.

This is an on-site position based in Singapore.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own and continuously improve CI/CD, infrastructure and operational tooling across game builds, backend services, websites, publishing workflows and internal systems.

Design, operate and maintain Jenkins pipelines, shared libraries, local or on-premises build agents, and reusable build, test, packaging and release workflows.

Develop GitLab CI automation for linting, testing, code quality, security scanning, configuration validation and artifact generation.

Automate multi-environment releases across review, hotfix, staging and production, including versioning, approval gates, release notifications, deployment verification and rollback.

Operate containerized environments with Docker and Docker Compose, and maintain Kubernetes deployment patterns using Helm and GitOps practices.

Manage cloud and platform infrastructure including compute, networking, DNS, ingress, TLS certificates, load balancers, container registries, storage, identity and secrets.

Support shared services and data layers used by games and business systems, including gateways, web and admin tools, databases, caches and messaging platforms.

Implement monitoring, logging, tracing, dashboards and alerting, and use operational data to improve capacity, performance, availability and cost efficiency.

Strengthen security through least-privilege access, secrets rotation, patching, dependency and container-image scanning, infrastructure checks and auditable operational practices.

Troubleshoot CI, deployment, infrastructure, networking and production incidents; lead root- cause analysis and implement durable corrective actions.

Create automation, runbooks, architecture notes and handover documentation that reduce manual work and keep operational knowledge current and accessible.
