DevOps Engineer to Scale & Optimize Self-Hosted BigBlueButton (AWS) for Growing Video Platform

We run a SaaS platform for language academies and tutoring centers that relies heavily on live video classes via a self-hosted BigBlueButton (BBB) deployment on AWS. As our subscriber base grows and video usage scales, we need an experienced DevOps engineer to audit, harden, and optimize our infrastructure for reliability and scale. The project: We need someone who can assess our current BBB/AWS setup end-to-end and deliver a scoped fix-and-optimize project — not an ongoing retainer. This includes: Auditing our current self-hosted BBB deployment (servers, networking, load balancing, scaling configuration) Identifying bottlenecks that would hurt us as concurrent class/session volume increases Recommending and implementing a scaling strategy (e.g. load balancer setup such as Scalelite or similar, autoscaling groups, multi-server BBB clustering) Optimizing AWS resource usage and cost (EC2 instance sizing, networking, possibly CDN/TURN server config for better call quality) Improving reliability/uptime — monitoring, alerting, and failover so video sessions don't drop during live classes Documenting the final architecture and providing a runbook so our internal team can maintain it going forward What we're working with: AWS-based infrastructure (ECS/EC2, load balancers, RDS) Self-hosted BigBlueButton instance(s) Growing concurrent live-class/video-call volume as we scale Ideal candidate: Proven experience scaling BigBlueButton specifically (not just general video infra) — Scalelite, Greenlight, or BBB clustering experience strongly preferred. Strong AWS background (EC2, ALB/NLB, autoscaling, security groups, networking/TURN/STUN) Comfortable auditing an existing production environment and proposing a clear plan before making changes. Can work project-based: scope it, execute it, hand off clean documentation. To apply, please include: Specific examples of BBB or similar self-hosted video infrastructure you've scaled (links/case studies welcome) Your proposed approach to auditing and scoping a project like this Estimated timeline and pricing structure for a project of this scope
