Job Description

DevOps Engineer - Media & Entertainmen Workflows 

At GPL Technologies, our mission is to provide powerful, reliable, and innovative technology services and leadership to creative companies by combining specialized industry expertise with excellence in engineering. We are a rapidly growing technology services firm that cater to some of Hollywood’s most notable movie studios, gaming companies, visual effects houses, and advertising firms. Our vision is to expand GPL’s presence globally, building an elite team of technology specialists focused on empowering creatives to achieve their vision without worrying about managing technology.

Job summary

We are seeking a skilled DevOps Engineer with solid expertise in media & entertainment technologies. As a DevOps Engineer with our company, you’ll help our customers design and deploy creative production workflows in the cloud, developing systems for some of the top studios in the world and giving artists the tools they need to help them create the best film, television, and video game content. 

The ideal candidate for this role will have experience working with render farms—specifically Deadline—and creative apps like Nuke, Maya, C4D, etc. You’ll need to be comfortable working cross-platform with Windows/Mac and fluent proficiency in Linux command line is a must as this role is heavy on Linux CLI work. You’ll need to be very comfortable packaging apps in Conda as this plays a big role in how we customize solutions for our customers. 

This role requires lots of direct interaction with project stakeholders and end-users, so strong English communication skills and comfort digging into the details of how customers work and what they want to accomplish is a must. You’ll need to be proficient at translating customer requirements into technical deliverables and capable of advising customers on best practices and solutions that can help them achieve their technical goals. Your ability to bridge the gap between engineering and creative workflows will be key to success in this role. 

Responsibilities
  • Engage directly with customers to assess their VFX production workflows and identify opportunities to streamline creative processes in the cloud. 

  • Design, deploy, and optimize cloud-based production environments that support rendering, collaboration, and data management. 

  • Integrate AWS Deadline Cloud into customer pipelines to maximize efficiency and scalability. 

  • Design and deploy cloud-based infrastructure for artist workstations, render nodes, and collaborative storage solutions. 

  • Implement best practices for secure, high-performance remote workflows, including networking, VPNs, and Bastion host setups. 

  • Automate deployment and maintenance tasks using Ansible and other infrastructure-as-code tools. 

  • Provide guidance on cross-platform interoperability, ensuring seamless integration across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments. 

  • Support customers with filesystem architecture, NAS solutions, and scalable storage management. 

  • Work closely with engineering and pipeline teams to troubleshoot complex render and workflow challenges. 

Preferred Qualifications/Skills
  • Excellent English communication skills – must be able to clearly articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

  • Proven experience working directly with customers to design and deploy cloud-based solutions for creative workflows. 

  • Proficiency in Linux (multi-distro preferred). 

  • Strong AWS experience, particularly in EC2, FSx, VPNs, and networking. 

  • Experience with render farm management (Deadline) and familiarity with creative artist tools (Maya, Nuke, Houdini, Cinema 4D, etc.). 

  • Solid understanding of networking, VPNs, and cloud infrastructure. 

  • Familiarity with SSH, Bastion hosts, and secure access workflows. 

  • Strong scripting and automation skills (e.g., Python, Bash, Terraform, or Ansible). 

If you’re passionate about cloud-based media workflows, customer engagement, and high-performance computing, we’d love to hear from you! 

Job type
  • Full-time
  • Remote work from home
Compensation and Benefits

We offer:
• Competitive compensation

• 401(k) employer match up to 4% of annual base salary 

• Dental / Health / Vision / Life / Accident Insurances 

• Flexible schedule 

• Paid time off 

Above all, you'll be a part of a great team of people serving a vibrant and exciting community of creative media companies around the globe.

About Us

Pixar’s founders famously commented on the nature of animation, inspiration, and storytelling in a simple expression: "Art challenges technology, but technology inspires the art." If you are ready to help some of the world's most creative people translate that inspiration into the next big blockbuster, then it’s time to join GPL Technologies.

GPL Technologies is helping studios, VFX companies, post-production facilities, creators, artists and producers become more effective – faster, less expensive, more collaborative, with fewer headaches, and with more productivity anywhere in the world. Most of the “who's who” in media and entertainment (Netflix, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Sony, and Amazon Studios to name a few) are already working with GPL Technologies to create content with record speed, quality and efficiency. 

For time and cost sensitive projects (which is everything in media these days), the value proposition is unparalleled – delivering optimized IT solutions for content creators and media services providers. Seasoned executives at some of the leading companies including Pixomondo, Technicolor, Electronic Arts, Skydance, and Apple are leaping at the chance to join this new wave in "creative enablement" and the opportunity to shape a truly electric environment for serving customers.  

We are looking for strong candidates who are self-driven, entrepreneurial, and willing to admit when their first idea won’t work – and then try a new one. No blind followers, we want thinkers who can solve problems creatively by cooperating with teammates and clients to create great outcomes. They understand that supporting clients is a challenging and rewarding experience.
