Job description

Scopely is looking for a Senior Test Platform & Reliability Engineer to join our Star Trek Fleet Command team in Ireland and help build the next generation of engineering validation in the game.

You'll help shape the engineering platforms behind one of the world's largest live-service mobile strategy games, supporting backend systems that serve millions of players worldwide. Your mission is to design the platforms, automation, and engineering practices that enable development teams to validate performance, scalability, and reliability with production-level confidence before changes reach live.

You'll work across Platform Engineering, Reliability Engineering and Developer Productivity to transform how we test, measure and understand our backend systems. If you enjoy building internal platforms, solving distributed systems problems and creating engineering capabilities that scale across multiple teams, we'd love to hear from you. This is an opportunity to build capabilities that do not yet exist, not simply maintain existing systems.

What You Will Do

• Our engineering teams already have strong build and CI/CD foundations. The next challenge is enabling engineers to answer questions like: Will this feature scale? Where is the next infrastructure bottleneck? Can we confidently extrapolate this load test to production? How do we detect platform limits before our players do?
• Your work will directly improve our ability to: Ship changes with greater confidence, detect infrastructure bottlenecks earlier, reduce operational risk, improve engineering productivity, and accelerate development across multiple teams.
• You'll help define the future of engineering validation by: Building scalable platforms for performance, load and reliability testing. Designing automation that makes production-like validation simple, repeatable and accessible to engineering teams. Improving how we discover infrastructure bottlenecks before production through better stress testing, observability and validation workflows. Creating reusable engineering capabilities that reduce manual effort and increase confidence in every release. Driving development technical direction for internal testing platforms, reliability engineering and developer enablement.
• You’ll provide technical ownership across several areas, including: Test platform architecture and engineering standards. Load, stress and scalability validation capabilities. Test environment lifecycle, automation and repeatability. Engineering tooling that improves developer productivity and release confidence. Cross-team technical guidance for platform validation and reliability practices.

What We're Looking For

• Strong software engineering background working with distributed systems.
• Experience designing or operating internal engineering platforms, developer tooling or cloud-native infrastructure.
• Experience with performance, scalability or reliability engineering.
• Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), containers and Infrastructure as Code.
• Experience building automation using CI/CD platforms and modern software delivery practices.
• Strong programming or scripting skills (Python, Go, Bash or similar).
• Excellent technical communication skills and the ability to influence engineering teams through collaboration.

Bonus Points

• Experience with GitLab and modern CI/CD platform engineering.
• Experience with load or performance testing frameworks.
• Experience with Docker and container orchestration.
• Experience with Terraform or similar Infrastructure as Code tooling.
• Experience operating large-scale live services.
• Experience in the games industry or other high-scale consumer platforms.
