About Us:
APOLO P2P is the first global, 1-to-1 tutoring platform dedicated exclusively to blockchain and cryptocurrency education. Students book tutors by the hour, learning exactly what they need, when they need it – all within an integrated environment that includes video calls, code editors, whiteboards, trading charts, and more.

Set up and maintain alerting systems, backups, and disaster recovery
Implement infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or Ansible
Optimize cost-efficiency of cloud resources
Contribute to a security-first DevOps culture and implement best practices
