About this role

Welcome to Stellar Code Lab, the new software innovation startup incubated inside Stellar Creative Lab. We are taking the battle-tested tools that powered hits for Marvel, Amazon, and Netflix and turning them into commercial-grade solutions for the entire industry.

We are building the future of animation tech—from Dart AI (bridging GenAI with production pipelines) to Zipline3D (streamlining CG workflows). Join us on the ground floor as we scale from "internal secret weapon" to "global industry standard."

If you are a systems expert who loves "Infrastructure as Code" and wants to work in a dynamic, creative environment, we want to hear from you.

The Opportunity:

Stellar Creative Lab is looking for a Systems Integrator to architect the technical infrastructure that powers our creative edge. In this role, you won’t just maintain systems; you will build the automated bridges between our high-performance infrastructure (Linux/Windows, Arista Networking, Storage) and our creative pipelines. You are the "glue" that ensures our artists can create without technical friction.

Key Accountabilities (What You Will Own):

 Infrastructure Architecture & Automation

  • Design and implement automated workflows to bridge RedHat/CentOS Linux and Microsoft Windows environments.
  • Utilize Puppet and Ansible to ensure consistency across local and remote deployments ("Infrastructure as Code").
  • Architect the "handshake" scripts (Python) between software and hardware platforms to eliminate manual data entry.

Cloud & Storage Operations

  • Manage the seamless flow of data between on-prem storage (NAS/Linux Filers) and Cloud services (AWS/GCP) for backups and burst rendering.
  • Oversee virtualization strategies (VMWare/Docker) to create portable, efficient environments for the Pipeline team.

System Reliability & Monitoring

  • Consolidate system metrics into unified dashboards (Grafana/Prometheus) to provide proactive alerts for the tech and production teams.
  • Troubleshoot L1-L3 networking issues to ensure high-speed data movement without bottlenecking creative throughput.

Security & Standardization

  • Implement and monitor security protocols across virtualization, network, and storage layers.
  • Manage PC setup and deployment automation to ensure new hires are integrated instantly.
  • Document all integration workflows to ensure knowledge transfer and system maintainability.

The Requirements

Must-Haves:

  • 5+ years in Systems Engineering, DevOps, or Systems Integration.
  • Advanced proficiency in Python for automation.
  • Expert knowledge of Puppet or Ansible for large-scale synchronization.
  • Deep understanding of Layer 1–3 networking.
  • Legally entitled to work in Canada.

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience with AWS (S3, EC2) integration.
  • Previous experience in VFX, Animation, or Render Farms.
  • Experience with high-performance Linux filers.

Logistics & Physical Requirements:

  • Hardware Handling: This is a hands-on role. You must be able to safely lift and rack server nodes (approx. 50 lbs) in our data center.
  • Travel: Periodic travel to our co-location facility is required. As this site is not transit-accessible, you must have a valid Driver’s License and access to reliable transportation.

Why Join Stellar?

  • Hybrid Work: We offer a flexible schedule with 2-3 days in our Vancouver office.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Extended health, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Growth: Professional development support to help you stay ahead of tech trends.
  • Culture: A collaborative, ego-free environment where technical expertise fuels creative magic.
