📋 Description

• Coordinates SRE, engineering, and production during live outages and degraded service events. Runs post-mortems. Drives structural improvements so the same incident does not recur. • Plans, coordinates, and launches in-game events end-to-end. Owns the event readiness checklist — content, infrastructure scaling, QA sign-off, comms. Is accountable if an event ships broken or at the wrong time. • Governs the curation, scheduling, and rollout of live in-game content — item shops, seasonal offers, rotating content. Owns the content calendar and coordinates across product, design, and monetisation. • Reads live telemetry to understand player behaviour, retention signals, economy health, and event performance. Surfaces insights that inform content decisions and monetisation tuning. Works alongside data analysts — does not replace them. • Holds the connective tissue across SRE, QA, community management, and product. Ensures new features integrate into the live environment without surprises. Runs the operational readiness gate before major launches. • Maintains runbooks, incident playbooks, content rollout SOPs, and post-mortem documentation. The live operations function does not depend on any one person's institutional memory.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in live operations, site reliability, or technical game production — with at least 2 years in a role where they were responsible for live service uptime on a multiplayer title • Proven incident command experience: has run a live incident bridge, not just participated in one. Has written and acted on post-mortems. • Experience coordinating cross-functional teams: SRE/engineering, QA, community, and product in the same operational context • Hands-on with live monitoring tools: Datadog, PagerDuty, Grafana, Splunk, or equivalent. Can read a dashboard and ask the right question. • Content operations experience on a live game: has owned or co-owned a content calendar, item shop curation, or in-game event rollout for a major multiplayer title • Data literacy: comfortable reading player telemetry, retention metrics, and economy KPIs — and translating them into operational decisions. Not a data scientist, but not data-avoidant. • Strong async communication: produces clear, concise written updates for both technical (SRE) and non-technical (community, product) audiences • Remote-first discipline: has led live ops in a distributed environment across timezones • **Preferred** • Experience at a major F2P or live-service title with 1M+ concurrent players during a major event • Familiarity with Unreal Engine infrastructure and game build pipelines — does not need to be an engineer, but understands the moving parts • Knowledge of in-game economy health indicators: currency inflation, sink/source imbalance, retention drop patterns • Previous experience coordinating an item shop or seasonal content schedule with real commercial impact
