DevOps Specialist

Role Summary

• 10Alytics is seeking a skilled and proactive DevOps Specialist to join its Cyber Security Department on a contract basis.
• The successful candidate will design, implement, and maintain the secure, scalable, and reliable infrastructure that powers 10Alytics’ learning platforms, internship programs, and internal operations.
• Reporting to the Cyber Security Team Lead, the DevOps Specialist will automate infrastructure, manage cloud environments, run CI/CD pipelines, and embed security best practices across the software development lifecycle — while supporting the hands-on lab environments our learners depend on.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain secure, efficient CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or CloudFormation).
• Deploy and manage containerized applications with Docker and Kubernetes across development, testing, and production environments.
• Partner with Cyber Security, Software Engineering, and product teams to integrate DevSecOps best practices — including infrastructure hardening, access controls, and cloud security.
• Monitor system performance, availability, and reliability; automate operational processes and configure logging, monitoring, and alerting to reduce manual intervention.
• Build and maintain cloud-based lab environments that power practical learning and internship projects for 10Alytics learners.
• Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and vulnerability remediation, and maintain clear documentation for infrastructure and deployment processes.

Required Qualifications (Must-haves)

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cyber Security, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
• Proven experience as a DevOps Engineer or DevOps Specialist, with strong Linux administration and hands-on experience on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps, and managing containers with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Strong knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or CloudFormation), Git workflows, and scripting in Bash, Python, or PowerShell.
• Working understanding of DevSecOps principles, networking fundamentals (DNS, VPN, firewalls, load balancing), and monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, or Splunk.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have):

• AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional, Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert, Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), or HashiCorp Terraform Associate.
• Experience supporting educational technology platforms or technical training environments.
• Prior experience working within a cybersecurity-focused team.

Success Measures:

• Successfully onboard every learner cohort onto secure, reliable lab and training environments with zero critical downtime during onboarding windows.
• Achieve the target student-to-job-offer conversion rate by keeping learning platforms, assessment tools, and interview-prep infrastructure consistently available.
• Deliver hands-on internship and interview-prep lab projects on schedule, so mentors and learners can focus on skills, not on broken environments.
