Senior DevOps Engineer (AWS, IaC, Docker)

About the role

National Retail Solutions (NRS), a subsidiary of IDT Corporation, is modernizing its AWS platform with infrastructure as code, elastic capacity, strong security, observability and automated delivery. It is looking for a high-performing Senior DevOps Engineer who owns production systems and works with an AI-first mindset. The role is open to candidates based in Belarus or Georgia, with at least four hours of overlap with the New York business day, and includes a shared on-call rotation.

Key responsibilities

• Build infrastructure as code, enforce policies, detect configuration drift and replace ad hoc changes with controlled workflows.
• Automate scaling and rightsizing, improve cost visibility and own the lifecycle of golden AWS images (AMIs).
• Build and operate Docker workloads, standardize Dockerfiles and automate image builds and scanning.
• Implement security: least-privilege IAM, security groups, network segmentation, secrets management, scanning platforms and deployment gates.
• Build CI/CD pipelines with approvals, policy checks, protected environments and rollback, and set release standards.
• Automate provisioning of ephemeral environments and support load and performance testing.
• Establish metrics, logs, traces and dashboards, and build actionable alerts.
• Use AI assistants and agents to investigate issues and recommend improvements, validating results before rollout.
• Help define reliability targets, run recovery tests, share on-call duty and turn incident findings into improvements.
• Develop internal tools, documentation and runbooks, and help teams migrate to the new platform.

Required profile

• 5+ years in DevOps, platform engineering, SRE or software engineering with production ownership; previous software development experience is a strong advantage.
• Demonstrated use of AI assistants and agents to deliver engineering and operational improvements.
• Strong software engineering: design, write, review, test and maintain code in Python, JavaScript or Go, plus shell scripting.
• Incident response experience, clear communication in English, and collaboration with SecOps, QA and support teams.

Required skills

• AWS: compute, Auto Scaling, load balancing, networking, IAM and managed databases.
• IaC with Terraform, CloudFormation or Pulumi.
• Docker, golden AMIs, CI/CD pipelines and Linux troubleshooting.
• Security scanning integration and vulnerability remediation.
• Relational, document and in-memory data stores such as Amazon RDS, MongoDB or Redis.
• Nice to have: ECS or Kubernetes, ClickHouse or Kinesis, developer self-service platforms and progressive delivery.

What we offer

• Remote (Georgia) or hybrid / remote (Belarus) work.
• Stable job with competitive salary, annual performance review and continuous learning opportunities.
• Professional training, seminars and conferences, referral program and company-supported English classes.
