- Establish and manage DevOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, containerised deployments
(Docker/Kubernetes), and cloud infrastructure.
- Define and enforce code quality standards, test automation, and system reliability benchmarks across the
engineering team.
- Lead technical teams: sprint planning, code reviews, architecture decisions, and cross-functional
stakeholder management.
- Manage platform deployments and cloud infrastructure: scalability planning, performance tuning, and
incident response.
- Integrate Open edX with identity, assessment, and AI systems including SSO, verifiable credentials, and
LTI providers.
- Drive platform scalability and reliability to support high-concurrency usage from learners across diverse
devices and networks.
- Deliver high-quality learning solutions aligned with EdTech standards: xAPI, SCORM, LTI 1.3, and
accessibility requirements.
