The Role As an Infrastructure Engineer at Zoic, you'll architect and manage the on-prem cloud infrastructure and GPU rendering platforms that power award-winning visual effects.

What You'll Do Build and manage virtualization and cloud orchestration platforms including OpenNebula and Kubernetes.

Deploy and manage containerized workloads across on-prem Kubernetes clusters.

Design and implement CI / CD pipelines.

Automate provisioning and configuration using Ansible, Terraform, and Packer.

Build and maintain deployment workflows for internal tools and creative pipelines.

  • Monitor system health and performance using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK.
  • Maintain backup, restore, and disaster recovery processes.
  • Support infrastructure, engineering, and creative teams in production.
  • Document systems, processes, and runbooks.
  • Provide technical support and troubleshooting.
  • Implement secure data handling practices, including encryption and access controls.
  • Support compliance with MPAA, NIST, and ISO standards.
  • What You Bring 3+ years in infrastructure engineering or DevOps.
  • Strong Linux and Windows administration across multiple distributions.

Hands-on Kubernetes experience :

  • cluster setup, configuration, management, and optimization.
  • Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible, Packer).
  • Familiarity with OpenNebula or other on-prem cloud platforms.
  • Experience with physical infrastructure setup (servers, storage, networking).
  • Experience with software-defined networking and Kubernetes networking stacks.
  • Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash).
  • Understanding of CI / CD principles and pipeline design.
  • Comfortable in fast-paced, creative environments.
  • Bonus Skills GPU orchestration and AI / ML pipelines.
  • Creative tools (Deadline, Nuke, Houdini, Maya).
  • Containerized GUI applications or remote apps.
  • VFX, gaming, architecture, or scientific computing background.
  • Open-source or technical community contributions.
  • What You'll Learn Architecting and scaling cloud-native infrastructure without public cloud providers.
  • Advanced Kubernetes cluster management and GPU workload optimization.
  • AI / ML pipeline integration into creative production.
  • Secure data handling and compliance best practices in media production.
  • Cross-functional collaboration with creative, engineering, and security teams.
  • High-performance rendering workflows and VFX toolchains.
  • Additional Information Pay Range :

  • 130k-145k DOE.
