Our point-of-sale systems, store management tools, consumer ordering apps, web storefronts, and loyalty programs serve nearly 40,000 stores across the United States.\nWe are fundamentally modernizing our AWS platform: infrastructure as code throughout, elastic capacity, strong security controls, comprehensive observability, and automated, controlled delivery. Join our talented team of DevOps engineers to shape the architecture, establish engineering standards, and drive incremental migrations while keeping production fully reliable.\nAn AI-first mindset and strong software engineering ability are essential. You are comfortable diving into unfamiliar repositories and following problems across application code, infrastructure, and production behavior.\nWe are looking for a high-performing engineer who sets a high bar, takes initiative, and sees difficult problems through. You uncover weaknesses, deliver measurable improvements, and take pride in building systems others can depend on. You hold yourself accountable for how your work performs in production.\nWhat You Will Do\nBuild infrastructure as code. Manage infrastructure, networking, access controls, and supporting services through reusable, reviewed code. Enforce policies, detect configuration drift, and replace ad hoc changes with repeatable workflows and controlled emergency access.\n\nMake compute elastic and efficient. Automate scaling and dynamic rightsizing, improve cost visibility, and partner with developers to remove constraints on scaling. Own the lifecycle of golden AWS images (AMIs), including building, scanning, patching, validation, and rollout.\n\nBuild and operate Docker workloads. Partner with developers to containerize suitable services. Standardize Dockerfiles, automate image builds and scanning, manage image lifecycles, and troubleshoot containers in production.\n\nImplement security with SecOps. Translate policy into least-privilege IAM, tightly scoped security groups, network segmentation, account isolation, secure credentials and secrets, encryption, and access auditing.\n\nEmbed security into delivery. Own scanning platforms and pipeline integrations for code, dependencies, secrets, infrastructure, and images. Catch issues before merge wherever practical and enforce deployment gates. Coordinate vulnerability remediation, deadlines, and documented exceptions with SecOps and developers, owning infrastructure fixes.\n\nAutomate and control releases. Build CI/CD pipelines with appropriate approvals, policy checks, protected environments, traceable releases, and dependable rollback. Establish release standards with development teams and adopt progressive deployment approaches where useful.\n\nProvide dependable environments. Automate provisioning and teardown of ephemeral environments and maintain staging, pre-production, and load-testing infrastructure. Support developer-owned load and performance tests through capacity analysis, infrastructure measurements, and tuning.\n\nMake systems observable. Establish metrics, structured and centralized logs, traces, and dashboards. Build actionable alerts for failures, emerging trends, anomalies, and capacity risks across infrastructure and customer-facing transactions.\n\nApply AI to engineering and operations. Use assistants and agents with repositories, cloud APIs, and operational data to investigate issues, analyze trends, recommend improvements, and implement solutions. Review outputs critically and validate changes before rollout.\n\nImprove reliability and recovery. Help define reliability targets, test restoration and recovery procedures, share on-call responsibility, and lead infrastructure-related investigations with developers and support teams. Turn incident findings into lasting improvements.\n\nBuild tooling and support platform adoption. Develop tested internal tools, services, APIs, and self-service capabilities. Maintain useful documentation, runbooks, and clear service ownership. Help teams migrate to the new platform and retire legacy infrastructure.\nLocation and Working Hours\n\nThis role is open to candidates based in Belarus or Georgia, with at least four hours of overlap with the business day in New York (US Eastern Time).\nThe role includes participation in a shared on-call rotation.\nWhat You Bring\nExperience: 5 or more years in DevOps, platform engineering, site reliability engineering, or software engineering, with meaningful ownership of production systems.\n\nSoftware engineering: Demonstrated ability to design, write, review, test, and maintain code, with strong skills in a language such as Python, JavaScript, or Go, plus shell scripting. Previous experience in a software development role is a strong advantage.\n\nAI-first approach: Demonstrated use of AI assistants and agents to deliver engineering and operational improvements. You can delegate substantial work to AI agents, critically evaluate their output, and independently validate results.\n\nAWS: Strong production AWS experience across compute, Auto Scaling, load balancing, networking, IAM, and managed databases.\n\nIaC: Strong infrastructure-as-code experience with tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi, including bringing existing infrastructure under consistent, version-controlled management.\n\nDocker: Strong hands-on experience with Dockerfiles, multi-stage builds, image optimization, container networking, configuration and secrets handling, and runtime troubleshooting.\n\nGolden images: Experience building and maintaining golden AWS images (AMIs), including automated configuration, patching, validation, and rollout.\n\nCI/CD: Experience designing and maintaining pipelines with automated builds, security checks, deployment approvals, and reliable rollback.\n\nSystems and troubleshooting: Strong Linux and networking fundamentals, with experience diagnosing production problems using metrics, logs, and traces.\n\nSecurity: Hands-on experience implementing cloud access controls, integrating security scanning into development workflows, and remediating infrastructure vulnerabilities in partnership with security teams.\n\nDatabases and Data Stores: Experience supporting relational, document, and in-memory data stores-such as Amazon RDS, MongoDB, Redis, or similar technologies-with a focus on performance, reliability, and recovery.\n\nEngineering judgment: Sound judgment about scaling, failure handling, security, performance, and cost.\n\nCollaboration: Strong collaboration skills across software engineering, SecOps, QA, and support teams. You build productive working relationships, communicate tradeoffs clearly, and work through problems together. You make it easier for others to build, release, and operate software safely, and take shared responsibility for resolving issues across team boundaries.\n\nIncident response: Experience handling production incidents, communicating clearly under pressure, and following through on corrective work.\n\nCommunication Skills: Strong written and spoken English. You explain complex technical issues clearly and coordinate effectively across teams in everyday work and during incidents.\n\nWe value depth of understanding over familiarity with every named tool. Software engineering ability, effective use of AI, and ownership of production outcomes are core requirements\nNice to Have:\n\nExperience modernizing established platforms through incremental migrations\n\nContainer orchestration with ECS or Kubernetes\n\nAnalytics databases such as ClickHouse or streaming services such as Amazon Kinesis\n\nHigh-volume, transaction-heavy systems\n\nDeveloper self-service platforms or progressive delivery\n\nOur benefits:\nRemote b2b (Georgia) or hybrid / remote (Belarus) work opportunity!\n\nStable job with long-term growth perspective.\n\nCompetitive salary with annual performance review.\n\nReally good hardware.\n\nAn exciting and challenging job with talented people around.\n\nContinuous learning and career growth opportunities.\n\nCompensation for professional training, seminars, and conferences.\n\nReferral program - get rewarded for helping us grow the team with talented people.\n\nCompany-supported English classes to enhance your professional growth.\n\nMore perks for the Minsk office employees.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8355,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Belarus","iso":"BY","kind":"country"},{"name":"Georgia","iso":"GE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Unified Communications","Network Interconnect","Money Transfer & Remittances"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T10:47:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":45,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T05:58:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/idt-corporation-senior-devops-engineer-nrs","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/idt-corporation-senior-devops-engineer-nrs.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T13:04:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13115,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4445},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4445"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fidt-corporation-senior-devops-engineer-nrs"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fidt-corporation-senior-devops-engineer-nrs"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fidt-corporation-senior-devops-engineer-nrs"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/idt-corporation-senior-devops-engineer-nrs\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fidt-corporation-senior-devops-engineer-nrs"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4232921}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"idt.net","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4232921},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
