Job Description & How to Apply Below

We are seeking a Performance Engineer to assist with design, deployment, and optimization of a multi‑node Helix Core (Perforce/P4) environment on Ubuntu Linux, leveraging commit and edge server architecture. This role will support high‑scale development workflows across geographically distributed teams and contribute to strategic initiatives such as co‑development enablement, secure external access, Unreal Engine customization, and performance optimization.

This role is open to candidates based in Irvine, CA or Albany, NY (hybrid or on‑site), as well as fully remote candidates within the United States.

Responsibilities
  • Architect and deploy Helix Core (Perforce/P4) 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 (e.g., sync, edit, resolve) and minimizing commit server load.
  • Develop and maintain automation scripts for server provisioning, backup, and maintenance using tools such as Ansible.
  • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (Security, Network, Developers) to align architecture with enterprise standards and project goals.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve performance issues, including latency, trigger failures, and workspace bottlenecks in CI/CD environments such as Jenkins.
  • Document architecture, operational procedures, and disaster recovery strategies for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Respond to active incidents and factor findings into future architectural decisions.
Qualifications
  • Proven experience architecting and managing Helix Core (Perforce/P4) in multi‑node commit/edge configurations in hybrid on‑prem and cloud environments.
  • Experience configuring and troubleshooting Perforce when used with Unreal.
  • 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 (e.g., edge‑submit, edge‑content).
  • Experience with Ansible or similar automation tools for infrastructure management.
  • 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 Experience
  • Experience using Perforce for game development version control.
  • Experience with VMware and Aria Automation.
  • Experience deploying Perforce nodes to public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • 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.
