DevOps engineer (volunteer) in Direct Help

Who are we?

We are Direct Help, a charitable foundation that has been helping Ukraine since the first days of the war. We implement dozens of parallel projects - humanitarian, digital, medical, logistics - and we need a stable, secure and scalable infrastructure that will work without failures.

This is where we need you.

Who are we looking for? We are looking for a DevOps engineer to help develop and maintain the foundation's infrastructure: automation, monitoring, CI/CD and logging.

Your tasks:

• Creation and maintenance of infrastructure using Terraform;

• Working with Microsoft Azure, configuring services and environments;

• Setting up error and performance monitoring systems (Sentry or similar);

• Creating dashboards and alerts for proactive problem detection;

• Building a centralized logging system (ELK / Loki / Splunk);

• Settings for collection, aggregation and analysis of logs;

• Working with Docker — creating a Dockerfile, optimizing images;

• Configuring CI/CD in GitHub Actions;

• Implementation of continuous deployment, blue-green strategies and deployment automation;

• Automation of testing and deployment processes;

• Basic work with SQL and NoSQL databases;

• Configuring backup & recovery strategies for fund systems.

We are looking for a person who:

• has experience with DevOps practices and infrastructure;

• understands metrics, tracing, application profiling;

• writes clean, clear configurations and cares about security;

• can independently diagnose and eliminate problems;

• organized, responsible and ready to work in a team;

• wants to get involved in projects that have a real impact.

Will be an advantage:

• contributions to open-source;

• participation in technical conferences or meetups;

• own pet projects or articles on technical topics.

What you will get:

• Experience of working with the infrastructure of a real social project;

• Opportunity to independently influence the architecture and technical solutions;

• Live cases in the portfolio and recommendations;

• A team of like-minded people, where your work makes sense and brings real benefit.
