At IO Interactive, we are looking for two Platform Engineers to join our Backbone team and play a key role in shaping the technical foundation behind our games and engine.
Our Platform Engineering team designs and builds our hybrid cloud environment. This platform supports cloud native workloads alongside desktop and console platforms, forming the backbone of our internal development ecosystem. You will contribute to modern infrastructure powering our Glacier engine and our AAA titles including Hitman, Project Fantasy, and our original James Bond game.
As part of Developer Services, you will work closely with IT and game development teams to establish the next generation of our build farm and orchestrate game servers and supporting services. This includes evaluating and implementing cloud native technologies, building and maintaining Kubernetes clusters, designing storage and datacenter networking solutions, and developing middleware in Go to bridge our CI CD pipelines with our private cloud infrastructure.
This is a hands on, high impact role for engineers who enjoy building robust platforms that enable others to create world class games.
What you will do:
Collaborate closely with Developers and IT teams to design, build, and deliver high-quality, reliable infrastructure solutions.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives and help embed DevOps best practices across the infrastructure lifecycle.
Design, deploy, and operate Kubernetes-based systems, with a focus on reliability, observability, and maintainability.
Support our private cloud platform, contributing to critical systems like build farms, storage, and server orchestration.
Contribute to strategic decisions on platform architecture, tooling, and DevOps practices.
Write robust, maintainable, and efficient code in Golang to support platform automation and infrastructure services.
Who you are
An experienced software development engineer in infrastructure or IT operations professional with hands-on experience building automation tools.
Deep expertise in Linux administration, Kubernetes, and Public Cloud platforms. Experience with Private Cloud environments and bare metal systems is a strong plus.
Comfortable designing and building infrastructure automation; proficiency with Golang is a strong advantage.
Strong grasp of networking fundamentals, including load balancing, routing, and performance troubleshooting.
Well-versed in DevOps and SRE methodologies, including GitOps, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and CI/CD pipelines.
Proactive, curious, and motivated to drive technical decisions, mentor peers, and improve platform reliability across distributed systems.
Who we are:
IO Interactive is an independent videogame development and publishing company with studios in Copenhagen, Malmö, Barcelona, Istanbul and Brighton.

IOI is a studio that values in-person collaboration. Being together helps us focus our collective energy on our immediate goals. For us, being both in-office as well as connected across our studios helps us integrate our teams faster, strengthen relationships, and improve knowledge-sharing. We believe that the more time we spend together, the more quality and progress we achieve for our games and players.
We know that to achieve those goals, we need courage, talented people and a great working environment – and we do our utmost to have all of that. Across our multiple studios, we’re working on several projects. Crucially though, we’re all one team. We value the work and impact that each person brings to the table and we actively encourage new ideas, whilst listening to your insights along the way.
We have a dedicated team of People Managers, who look after you as an individual and as an employee. With more than 40 nationalities, we know that everyone is different and we are proud to have a reputation for being a friendly workplace with highly-talent people.

We are a diverse team of designers, producers, artists, programmers and operations supporters from 40+ different nationalities, working on cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art game design.
The creative teams involved in producing our games are supported by our tech department, which delivers our own Glacier engine, and the incubation department, which helps the team to prototype new and exciting features, game mechanics, or even brand new IPs.
We know that the gaming world is in constant change – and so is IOI - but no matter what we do, we can assure you that it will not be boring.
