Senior DevOps Engineer, Agentic Automation & Live Games Toronto, ON Hybrid, 3 days per week in office Full-time Department: Engineering Reports to: Engineering Leadership Compensation range: CAD $140,000 to $180,000 About Big Viking Games Big Viking Games is a Canadian gaming company focused on building, operating, and growing long-standing online game communities. Our games have entertained players for years, supported by loyal audiences, live operations, evolving content systems, product innovation, and deep player-driven economies. Our flagship titles, YoWorld and FishWorld, have served millions of players over their lifetime. These are enduring live-service virtual worlds with rich in-game economies, virtual goods, social interaction, and long-term player engagement at their core. We are entering a new phase of modernization and growth, with a focus on stronger infrastructure, better automation, practical AI adoption, improved reliability, stronger security practices, and scalable systems that help our games and teams perform at a higher level. About the Role Big Viking Games is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer, Agentic Automation & Live Games to modernize the infrastructure behind our live-service games and help reinvent how those systems are operated. This is a hands-on senior infrastructure role for someone fluent in modern cloud operations: AWS, containers, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, observability, production reliability, incident response, security, and automation. But this is not a traditional DevOps role. We are looking for someone who can build automation that does real work, not just scripts that run or dashboards that summarize. The right person has started using agentic coding tools, tool-calling systems, API integrations, workflow automation, or MCP-style tooling to safely diagnose, provision, remediate, monitor, or maintain infrastructure. Our games run on mature systems with real players, real revenue, real constraints, and real consequences. There is meaningful room to automate how they are operated, but the work must be done with discipline. Uptime, data integrity, least-privilege access, rollback paths, auditability, and production safety matter. The defining trait for this role is self-direction. Given a backlog, you improve how the work gets done. Left to your own judgment, you find repetitive operational work nobody has flagged, decide what is worth automating, and build it safely. This is a hybrid role based in Toronto, with an expectation of working in office three days per week. Live-service games require operational awareness outside regular business hours, including periodic on-call and incident response availability. What You?ll Do Build Agentic Automation for Infrastructure Work Design, build, and operate agentic tooling that performs real DevOps work, including diagnosis, remediation, provisioning, routine maintenance, and operational follow-up. Build and maintain the integration layer that lets tooling act safely on our systems, including API integrations, MCP-style servers, webhook-driven orchestration, serverless functions, and permission-controlled automation. Convert manual runbooks, SOPs, recurring maintenance tasks, and repetitive operational chores into automation that can run unattended where appropriate. Establish guardrails that make automated action against production defensible, including least-privilege scopes, dry-run modes, approval paths, logging, audit trails, rollback plans, and clear escalation rules. Use agentic coding tools to accelerate infrastructure work, including IaC authoring, migration scripts, incident analysis, log analysis, documentation, and operational troubleshooting. Help improve how the wider engineering team uses automation and AI-assisted tooling safely and effectively.</li Location Toronto , ON Work location On site Salary $ 140,000 to $ 180,000 YEAR annually Terms of employment Full time Starts as soon as possible vacancies 1 vacancy Source Talent.com #633719211068759494 Various locations Toronto, ON
