Role description
We are seeking a seasoned Senior Perforce Engineer to design, deploy, and optimize a multi-node Helix Core environment on Ubuntu Linux, leveraging commit and edge server architecture. This role supports high-scale development workflows across globally distributed teams and contributes to strategic initiatives such as co-development enablement, secure external access, Unreal Engine customization, and performance optimization.
Key Responsibilities
Architect and deploy Perforce Helix Core environments using commit and edge server topology, including standby and edge-to-edge chaining configurations.
Design and implement secure, scalable infrastructure on Ubuntu, including TLS/SSL hardening, SSO integration, and MFA enablement.
Optimize performance by configuring edge servers for local operations and minimizing commit server load.
Develop and maintain automation scripts for server provisioning, backup, and maintenance using tools like Ansible.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Security, Network, Developers) to align architecture with enterprise standards and project goals.
Troubleshoot and resolve performance issues in CI/CD environments (e.g., Jenkins).
Document architecture, operational procedures, and disaster recovery strategies.
Respond to active incidents and incorporate findings into future architectural decisions.
Required Qualifications
Proven experience architecting and managing Perforce Helix Core in multi-node commit/edge configurations in hybrid on-prem and cloud environments.
Experience configuring and troubleshooting Perforce with Unreal Engine.
Strong proficiency in Ubuntu Linux system administration and shell scripting.
Hands-on experience with TLS/SSL configuration, Okta, and MFA in enterprise environments.
Familiarity with Perforce triggers, replication, and edge-specific behaviors.
Experience with Ansible or similar automation tools.
Deep understanding of networking, firewall, and DMZ configurations for secure external access.
Ability to work independently and coordinate across multiple teams and time zones.
Preferred Skills
Experience using Perforce for game development version control.
Experience with VMware & Aria Automation.
Experience deploying Perforce nodes to Azure.
Knowledge of Jenkins integration with Perforce and performance tuning for build pipelines.
Familiarity with Perforce proxy and edge node deployment in co-development scenarios.
Prior work in game development, media asset management, or large-scale CI/CD environments.
Strong documentation and communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
