Leading-edge gaming studio looking for an experienced Senior DevOps with pro coding skills and an excellent understanding of MMORPG game design, to join our fast-growing team.

We are developing Ember Sword, a groundbreaking platform-agnostic and Free-to-Play MMORPG Game set in a player-driven fantasy universe, with digital collectible cosmetics and a blockchain-enhanced economy.

It’s a universe where the players control the world through true land ownership. A game in which all valuable cosmetic items are tokenized as scarce non-fungible crypto-collectibles, which are acquired by players through gameplay objectives, instead of sold through loot boxes. With a fan community spanning more than a hundred thousand people, a strong advisory board, a $2M investment round this year, and a very successful first land sale campaign ($1.5M) that sold out in just a few hours, Ember Sword is aiming high and growing fast.

As a developer ops at Bright Star Studios, you'll be setting up complex build pipelines for automatic testing and deployment to catch bugs, performance regressions, stability issues, and more in close collaboration with our CTO, your fellow programmers, and the design and art team. Many of these tools will have to be built in-house.

• You have good coding skills, specifically in C++ and GoLang

• You have experience with setting up complex build pipelines for automatic testing and deployment
