Welcome to Maxis, home to tinkerers, craftspeople, & storytellers. Our drive is to inspire everyone to make a better world through creative play.

Demonstrated success managing, operating, and evolving legacy infrastructure, including phased migration strategies.
Deep expertise in source control (Perforce, Git), CI/CD, and scalable build systems.
Scripting proficiency in Python, C#, C++, or equivalent.
Strong understanding of infrastructure security, compliance, monitoring, and cost control.
Experience leading infrastructure support across multiple product teams or projects.
