EarnWithDevOps
Designed for practicing engineers moving into Senior and Staff infrastructure roles. You build resilient distributed architectures, triage real Sev-1 outages from telemetry logs, and defend your technical tradeoffs live before an engineering review board.
Twelve intensive weekends. Master the capabilities senior roles demand: systems judgment under hard constraints, telemetry diagnosis under pressure, and defending architectural tradeoffs with evidence.
Charged in naira via Paystack at the approximate equivalent; your bank handles the conversion.
Why cookbook tutorials fail to build the judgment required for senior infrastructure roles.
You follow linear steps in an isolated environment engineered to succeed. You copy predefined manifests, run pre-scripted verification commands, and receive a completion badge. You never have to justify an architectural tradeoff, cost boundary, or failure mode—because every critical decision was made before you started.
You receive operational requirements, budget limits, and latency SLOs. What you build must reliably deploy, pass synthetic load tests, and survive automated teardown and recreation. On Sunday, you defend your architecture to senior practitioners who evaluate your failure models, probe edge cases, and inspect your git commits.
A structured, high-accountability cadence engineered specifically for working engineers.
You receive raw incident logs, distributed OpenTelemetry traces, and Prometheus metrics reconstructed from an actual production outage. Working asynchronously on your own schedule, you isolate the failure mechanism, identify the root cause, and draft a verified remediation plan before the live build.
An intensive live engineering session where we build complete, resilient infrastructure architectures under realistic production constraints: strict cloud spend limits, p99 latency SLOs, and zero-downtime rolling updates verified under synthetic traffic.
You present your implementation to a review panel of senior and staff engineers. You defend your design tradeoffs, explain your failure domain mitigations, and justify decisions using your git history—mirroring staff-level RFC defenses and senior technical interviews.
Three progressive phases. Every weekend pairs a live systems build with a Sev-1 Cold Case investigation.
Multi-AZ VPC topologies, zero-downtime rolling deployments, immutable SHA release pipelines, and OpenTelemetry instrumentation with PromQL error budget calculations. You architect the solution against production specifications.
Complex failure diagnosis in running clusters: kernel-level network saturation, admission controller deadlocks, PostgreSQL lock contention, and point-in-time recovery under operational time limits.
Production security governance, executing a 40% cloud cost reduction against live infrastructure, an unannounced disaster recovery Game Day, and a 4-round staff engineering interview simulation evaluated by senior hiring managers.
Every cold case is drawn from real-world distributed systems failures.
BuildKit cache mount permission traps. Intermittent 502 bad gateways under ingress burst. Unreviewed Terraform state drift. CoreDNS ndots:5 query amplification. PostgreSQL lock contention masquerading as network timeouts. Argo CD mutating webhook reconciliation loops. Go CFS quota throttling appearing as memory leaks. Each weekend brings a distinct operational investigation with no pre-packaged answer key.

Everything you need to know about the intensive, expectations, and admissions.
The program is engineered specifically for working software and systems practitioners. Friday outage triage is asynchronous and self-paced (typically taking 1–2 hours). Saturday live systems implementation and Sunday architectural defense panels take place on weekends outside standard business hours. Plan for approximately 6–8 focused hours total across each weekend.
All live Saturday and Sunday calls are recorded in full HD and published to your Kolo Platform dashboard within 3 hours. If you are unable to attend a Sunday defense live, you can submit an asynchronous video walkthrough and architecture defense for instructor review, scoring, and rubrics feedback.
This program is designed for engineers who already have baseline familiarity with the Linux command line, containers (Docker), core cloud services, and Git. We do not spend time covering basic CLI syntax or beginner concepts; instead, we dive directly into production topology design, failure modes, cluster orchestration, telemetry, and high availability. If you are starting from zero, we recommend completing our free Telegram tracks first.
Senior systems engineering cannot be evaluated with multiple-choice questions. In production, diagnosing a distributed outage or designing an immutable pipeline requires open-ended synthesis, telemetry interpretation, and debugging under ambiguity. Your work is validated deterministically against real running infrastructure and evaluated by senior engineers.
While certificates confirm course completion, hiring managers at top engineering organizations evaluate demonstrable systems judgment. Your engineering dossier contains your actual architectural decisions, infrastructure code, telemetry dashboards, and incident remediation commits—providing verifiable, auditable proof of your capabilities during senior technical interviews.
Yes. Many candidates use company professional development, training, or education budgets to cover tuition. We provide formal corporate invoices, vendor details, and completion certificates for expense reimbursement. Email info@alamztech.com with your company's billing requirements, and we will issue an invoice within one business day.
Yes. Cohort tuition includes 1 full year of access to our complete Career Advisory Layer ($150/year value) 100% free. This gives you unlimited on-demand practice with our AI Technical Interviewer (System Design and incident mock rounds), access to the automated DevOps & Cloud Job Board Scanner, resume architecture audits, and direct partner hiring introductions.
If you are currently working in software engineering, systems administration, QA, or DevOps and want to transition to Senior/Staff SRE or Cloud Platform roles, this intensive bridges that gap. If you would like an honest assessment of whether your current skillset matches the cohort curriculum, email your resume or LinkedIn profile to info@alamztech.com for candid feedback before enrolling.
