DevOps Infrastructure Specialist

I'm currently working as CTO for a small-ish games company where I have built a team that is really solid- it hurts to leave but I'm very open to becoming an IC again. My background is classical sysadmin (sysadmins who could write C and Perl) and I was trained my former google SRE's over a decade ago. I've shipped multiple AAA video games where I focused on online infrastructure in mixed environments (Windows, Linux), I've navigated politics of 20,000+ people companies and consistently delivered in a company of <100. - before this I worked in SaaS and e-commerce products in highly secure environments. I would ideally find a role in working with hard problems related to orchestration of physical machines (as eking out efficiency and automating awkward things is where I find the most joy), working in a high trust environment where I am expected to be self-motivated. I work with a very high degree of pride and this can be a blessing in many situations as I have always gone above and beyond what is needed and adapted to needs to get the best solution available. I'm willing to relocate anywhere for the right job, I have worked remote and have a good working setup, but in the early months I find it much better to be able to synchronise context face to face. I'm a British and Swedish citizen, if that matters at all.
