DevOps Specialist
Boosta is looking for a DevOps Specialist to join the Brainer project, which is building a comprehensive online platform for measuring, training, and systematically developing human cognitive abilities, as well as other projects within the holding.
The role involves working with multiple independent product teams to help them make infrastructure and cloud architecture decisions. This includes designing and building infrastructure for new products from the early stages, reviewing existing infrastructure across different products, and identifying reliability, security, performance, and cost improvements. The specialist will choose infrastructure solutions based on each product’s architecture, scale, business requirements, and stage of development, and will build and maintain cloud infrastructure, with AWS being a key strategic platform. Additionally, the role includes building and improving CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes, introducing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code and infrastructure automation, and setting up and improving monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability. Ensuring infrastructure reliability, security, scalability, backup, and recovery practices, as well as optimising infrastructure costs and maintaining visibility into cloud spending, are also key responsibilities. The DevOps Specialist will support engineering teams in investigating and resolving production incidents and work closely with developers on architecture, deployment, and infrastructure-related decisions. Documenting infrastructure and key technical decisions is also part of the role to ensure future ownership and handover are straightforward.
