Yaroslav Didukh

I’m currently the DevOps Team Lead at RubyPlay, where I’m responsible for driving infrastructure scalability, automation, and operational excellence across our platforms. I lead a skilled and collaborative team of engineers focused on building secure, reliable, and efficient systems to support our product and development teams. My approach balances speed with stability, and innovation with accountability.

If you're considering a role on my team, expect an environment that emphasizes ownership, learning, and collaboration. We work in a fast-moving landscape where no two days are alike, and we’re constantly pushing to improve how we deliver value. I believe in giving engineers room to grow, encouraging experimentation, and backing that with strong support and mentorship. You'll be trusted to make decisions, contribute ideas, and shape our systems. This is a great team if you love solving problems, care about clean engineering, and want to have a meaningful impact.

With over a decade of experience in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and systems reliability—across hybrid environments like GCP and on-prem—I’ve had the opportunity to work at the intersection of development and operations. I've helped companies navigate cloud transformations, implement Infrastructure as Code, and align DevOps practices with ISO 27001 standards. My background in both engineering and leadership has taught me the value of clear communication, scalable architecture, and a security-first mindset.

Whether you’re starting or advancing in DevOps, my advice is to be relentlessly curious. Master the fundamentals—networks, containers, automation, and monitoring—but also stay open to new tools and ways of thinking. Don’t just chase the newest tech; understand the “why” behind what you're building. Invest in documentation, take ownership when things break, and never stop learning from your peers. And above all—remember that DevOps is a team sport. Empathy, communication, and trust are your most powerful tools.
