Job Description

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. This isn't typical DevOps—you'll build bare-metal Kubernetes clusters, optimize GPU workloads, rack servers, and collaborate with artists and engineers to support high-performance creative production and world-class visual storytelling.

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.
  • Optimize Kubernetes for GPU workloads and high-performance rendering.
  • Set up and configure physical infrastructure : servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment.
  • Administer Linux and Windows environments across studio infrastructure.
  • 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.
  • The listed pay range represents the minimum to maximum range for this job description. Pay is dependent on several factors including, but not limited to experience, skills, and qualifications.
  • Zoic does not cover relocation costs.
  • Zoic Studios U.S. participates in the eVerify program.
  • This job description contains the basic requirements for the position and is NOT intended to be a complete list of responsibilities; other duties may be assigned.
  • Due to the volume of applications we receive across our different openings we regret that only those selected to interview will be contacted.
  • About Zoic Studios
