Responsibilities
The primary mission of this position is to enable development teams to focus on the business needs. It means that everything related to the infrastructure should be automated and “ready to go” at the exact moment when it is needed for the business. Moreover, the Flow from dev to production should be improved on a continuous basis to achieve maximum possible dev and deploy speed for features and capabilities. At the same time, the responsibility is to ensure that all production environments are stable and secure during their lifetime.

Major challenges:

— Educate members of the infrastructure team, as well as keeping knowledge about the ecosystem of 15+ development teams on the needed level
