About The Position

Gearbox, the developer of hit titles such as Borderlands, Brothers In Arms, and Battleborn, is seeking a System/Network Administrator to join our IT team. Based in our Quebec City studio, you will ensure the services you support remain stable, secure, and high-performing. The Challenge: Building Tomorrow's Infrastructure. Are you a systems expert who firmly believes that if a task must be done twice, it must be automated? Do you master servers and networks but thirst to go further into the world of Cloud and containers? We are looking for a System Administrator with a strong inclination toward DevOps. Your mission will be to maintain our solid foundations (Windows/Linux/Network) while propelling our environment toward a culture of total automation, with Kubernetes at the heart of our strategy.

Requirements

Solid experience in server administration (Linux and Windows) and virtualization (VMware, Nutanix).
Network Knowledge: VPNs, routing protocols, and firewall management (PFsense, Cisco).
Containerization: Practical experience with Kubernetes (K8s) and Docker is essential.
Source Control: Proficiency in Git and familiarity with Perforce (or a willingness to learn).
Tooling: Experience with Jira, Confluence, and ticketing tools.
Learning Autonomy: You are a self-starter capable of diving into new technical documentation alone to emerge with a functional solution.
Execution: You dive into assigned problems with enthusiasm and determination in search of solutions.
Documentation Rigor: You believe a task is only finished when the documentation is clear and shareable.
Bilingualism: Excellent communication skills in both French and English, both oral and written.

Nice To Haves

Concrete experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
Knowledge of Public Clouds (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Experience in the video game industry, including an understanding of build cycles and performance constraints.
Mastery of an advanced scripting language (Python, Go, Bash, or PowerShell).

Responsibilities

Customers Mindset: We are here to enable our teams to excel at their job. Our success is measured by how efficient our users are.
Automation First: Identify, design, and implement scripts and tools to eliminate manual and repetitive tasks.
Kubernetes Mastery: Manage, optimize, and evolve our K8s clusters to support our production pipelines.
System & DevOps Hybrid: Maintain our servers (Linux/Windows) and virtualization infrastructure while integrating CI/CD practices.
Continuous Evolution: Act as an autonomous learner to master new DevOps tools and integrate them intelligently into our stack.
Performance & Security: Ensure the infrastructure is not only high performing for game developers but also ultra-secure by design.
Support & Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with production teams to understand their technical needs and provide world-class support.
Deployment & Monitoring: Install, secure, and manage various software and hardware technologies while monitoring systems to troubleshoot issues or outages.
