Senior Build Engineer (CPH)
Are you someone who thrives on building robust systems, solving complex infrastructure challenges, and ensuring mission‑critical services run smoothly? Do you take pride in seeing things through to completion and owning the systems you operate?
In this role, your days will revolve around keeping our distributed build farm healthy and performing at its best - starting your morning by checking the stability of pipelines, diving into logs to spot anomalies before they become issues, and fine‑tuning both hardware and cloud‑based infrastructure. You’ll spend focused time improving automation, strengthening monitoring, and driving long‑term infrastructure projects, all while working side‑by‑side with the developers, producers, Tools, Platform, and DevOps teams who rely on you to keep workflows friction‑free.
You’ll be part of a close‑knit, highly collaborative engineering group that values ownership, calm problem‑solving, and craftsmanship, and because so much of the work touches real hardware and real people, your presence on‑site in Copenhagen is essential.
What You Will Do
Design, build, and maintain the infrastructure powering our on‑premise and Azure‑based build farms.
Own system health end‑to‑end: monitoring, performance tuning, reliability, and capacity planning across distributed build environments.
Contribute to a major build farm modernization project involving containers, Kubernetes, scalability improvements, and cloud‑aligned practices.
Develop and maintain automation tooling and scripts (PowerShell, Python, etc.).
Support and maintain CI/CD systems and source control platforms, including TeamCity, Perforce, GitHub, and related tooling.
Work directly with server and desktop hardware, networking equipment, and on‑site physical infrastructure.
Collaborate with development, production, platform, and DevOps teams to remove workflow blockers and continuously improve pipelines.
Troubleshoot proactively - speak up early when something looks off to prevent issues from escalating.
Deliver stable, predictable, “green” pipelines and take part in infrastructure improvements during a period of significant change.
Who You Are
A finisher - someone who completes what they start.
A system owner: you take responsibility without needing micromanagement.
Calm, structured, and confident in diagnosing complex technical issues.
Comfortable working on‑site in Copenhagen, including hands‑on hardware work.
Strong Windows system administration background; Linux experience is a plus.
Proficient with PowerShell and automation scripting.
Experienced with CI/CD tools (TeamCity, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or similar).
Familiar with build systems, distributed build farms, and large‑scale infrastructure.
Exposure to containers / Docker / Kubernetes, or motivated to grow in this area.
Skilled with source control systems (Perforce, Git, or similar) from an administration perspective.
