7.5 Alexander Kozaderov (MTS Cloud). Research and Design of Cloud Infrastructure for Business

In this episode, we talked with the art director of MTS Cloud, Alexander Kozaderov. He explained in plain language how large-scale cloud infrastructure is set up with its own certified data centers and why it’s needed by businesses. Alexander also shared his path into product design: from system administration and databases—through work in design studios—to game dev at Wargaming, and then into interfaces of cloud products. We discussed why, when switching specialization, it’s important to be ready for professional “resetting,” and how experience across different teams affects development. We also looked closely at what difficulties people face when researching cloud solutions and how to conduct such research in practice. We talked about how leads solve communication and collaboration issues in large teams—and why it’s important for a manager to remember that they are also part of the team. At the end—where to follow fresh MTS job openings and what requirements Alexander, as a hiring manager, announces for candidates.
