Senior Perforce Engineer

We are seeking a Performance Engineer to assist with the 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.

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 like 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 (e.g., Jenkins). 

• Document architecture, operational procedures, and disaster recovery strategies for internal and external stakeholders. 

• Respond to active incidents and factor in any findings to future architectural decisions. 

Minimum Requirements 

• 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. 

Bonus Points  

• Experience using Perforce for game development version control 

• Experience with VMware & Aria Automation 

• Experience with 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.
