Senior DevOps Engineer​/Remote

About Enroll Wise

Enroll Wise is a leading enrollment management platform trusted by major U.S. school districts. We deliver robust, secure, and scalable solutions built on a modern tech stack, including Python/Django with Graphene for Graph

QL APIs, Next.js (React + Type Script), Postgre

SQL, Redis, Celery for task queuing, and cloud-based infrastructure with dynamic horizontal scaling using AWS services like ECS, Fargate, S3, and Cloud Watch.

We're committed to innovation in education technology, powering seamless integrations with third-party services like Twilio, Smarty Streets, Census, ArcGIS, and Student Information Systems.

We're seeking an experienced Senior Dev Ops Engineer to audit our current infrastructure and Python/Django application, provide expert recommendations, and guide the transition to a shared tenant (multi-tenant) architecture. Our existing Dev Ops team handles day-to-day operations, but we need your specialized expertise in high-availability, high-traffic systems to optimize for peak enrollment cycles and ensure enterprise-grade performance as we scale.

This position is a contract role and can work remotely anywhere in the US. Collaboration with our team during US business hours is required.

• Conduct a comprehensive audit of our AWS-based infrastructure (including ECS, Fargate, Terraform IaC, Cloud Watch/Sentry monitoring, and disaster recovery setups) and Python/Django application to identify scalability, performance, reliability, and security gaps.
• Recommend and implement best practices for high-availability architectures, fault‑tolerant mechanisms, and elastic scaling to handle high‑traffic scenarios without downtime.
• Design and set up a shared tenant instance model, ensuring data isolation, independent scaling per tenant, and compliance with security standards.
• Facilitate load testing processes to identify performance optimization opportunities.
• Collaborate with our engineering team to enhance CI/CD pipelines, automate deployments, and integrate observability tools for proactive monitoring and alerting.

• 7+ years of Dev Ops experience, with proven expertise in building and optimizing high‑availability, high‑traffic applications (e.g., handling peak loads in SaaS environments).
• Deep knowledge of AWS services (ECS, Fargate, S3, Cloud Front, WAF, Cloud Watch) and Infrastructure‑as‑Code tools like Terraform.
• Familiarity with Python/Django ecosystems, including Graph
  
  QL (Graphene), task queues (Celery), and databases (Postgre
  
  SQL, Redis).
• Experience designing multi‑tenant architectures with emphasis on isolation, scalability, and security.
• Expert knowledge of containerization (Docker), monitoring/anomaly detection.
• Excellent problem‑solving skills and ability to communicate technical recommendations clearly.
• Prior consulting or auditing roles in fast‑growing startups or enterprise environments.

• Make a meaningful impact on education by enhancing a platform that serves millions of students and families.
• Flexible part‑time schedule. Fully remote.
• Competitive hourly rate commensurate with experience.
