Job Description
Overview
1047 Games began with the simple principle that people should have fun while making great games. Bucking convention and driven by a passion to create the ultimate gaming experience, Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian founded 1047 Games in 2017 in their Stanford dorm room. Their love for arena shooters of the past drove them to create Splitgate, a unique sci-fi first-person shooter that adds portal guns to upend the genre.
What started as two computer science majors putting portals into a first-person shooter for a project demo has evolved into a VC-backed company which has raised more than $120MM in funding.
At 1047 Games, you’ll find a permanently remote, dedicated team of top-tier talent from some of the world’s biggest gaming and tech companies who share our founders’ vision. Grit, ingenuity, a desire to have fun, and a start up mentality define our crew. We are currently working on a brand new shooter in the Splitgate universe.
What We're Looking For
- A passionate engineer: you love to take on seemingly impossible technical problems to find creative and robust solutions.
- A hard worker: you are willing to put in the extra effort, not because you are told, but because you enjoy your work and you bring a level of craft and professionalism.
- A gamer: you have a passion for gaming, and you know what separates exceptional games from average ones. This will help you make technical tradeoffs and anticipate system needs.
- We do not want a firefighter. We want an architect/builder who is able to eliminate fires and anticipate needs.
What You Will Do
- You will be the chief engineer and architect of our company-wide infrastructure.
- You will work closely with engineering teams to maintain and improve a state of the art infrastructure layer that includes fully automated deployments, infrastructure entirely as code, CICD, a comprehensive visibility and monitoring layer, automated load testing, local-to-cloud development workflows, and more.
What Will You Need to Succeed
- 6+ years of experience building cloud infrastructure for distributed systems
- Mastery of core AWS services including governance, networking, compute, and storage
- Experience with Terraform or other Infrastructure-as-Code tools
- Deep knowledge of operating Kubernetes at scale leveraging Istio and cloud native CI/CD tools like ArgoCD

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
