Recruitment Stories - Sajedul's Experience at Miaki Media Ltd

Md Sajedul Islam is currently working at Miaki Media Ltd as a DevOps Engineer, but his path into technology has been anything but conventional. With a BBA in Management, Sajedul started out from a non-technical background. His entry into the IT field was made possible through the IsDB-BISEW IT Scholarship, which gave him the opportunity to build a career in technology.

He began his professional journey in June 2020 as a Software Engineer. Shortly after, he moved into DevOps at Infolytx, where his work primarily focused on MLOps. His next step took him to BRACNet, where he contributed as a Cloud Engineer. There, he played a key role in building cloud solutions and designing infrastructure for major clients such as BRAC Microfinance, BRAC Enterprise, Apex, and Othoba. Today, he applies his expertise in cloud computing, CI/CD pipeline management, automation, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud architecture, and infrastructure design at Miaki.

When Sajedul applied for the role at Miaki via LinkedIn, he went through a structured recruitment process that consisted of four phases:
