Digital infrastructure platform for K-12 and higher education deployments
Kosmos builds web portals, learning management systems, and e-portfolio solutions for schools and universities across Europe. The tech stack is mature and operationally heavy: PHP/Symfony backend, Kubernetes orchestration, Puppet/Ansible/ArgoCD for infrastructure-as-code, and a full CI/CD pipeline (Jenkins, Docker, Rancher). Active projects center on containerization, DevSecOps optimization, and AIOps integration—suggesting a shift from managing 1,200 servers through traditional infrastructure toward automated, predictable deployments. Engineering-led hiring (4 of 7 open roles) at mid-to-lead levels reflects ongoing infrastructure modernization rather than new product development.
Founded in 1998, Kosmos specializes in digital solutions for education institutions, spanning web portals, digital school environments (DSE), e-portfolios, resource management platforms, and mobile applications. The company operates at moderate scale (51–200 employees) from Nantes, France, with a technical footprint that includes consulting, custom development, integration, managed services (infogérance), and security operations. Kosmos supports compliance-heavy deployments (configuration audits, SIEM, SOC capabilities) and manages large-scale infrastructure—1,200+ servers across client deployments. The service model combines managed services, software licensing, and custom systems integration.
Primarily PHP and Symfony for backend development, Kubernetes for container orchestration, Puppet/Ansible/ArgoCD for infrastructure automation, PostgreSQL for databases, and Jenkins for CI/CD. Also uses SIEM, Rancher, RKE2, Docker, and testing frameworks (PHPUnit, Behat, Cypress).
Maintains 1,200+ servers across client deployments, manages compliance audits, strengthens cybersecurity operations (SIEM/SOC), and modernizes DevSecOps pipelines and deployment processes to reduce manual infrastructure overhead.
