Site Reliability Engineer

Job Description:

Deep Light AI is a specialist AI and data consultancy dedicated to transforming the regional corporate landscape through bespoke, high-impact intelligent systems. Based in the UAE, we partner with organizations across diverse sectors—with a deep-rooted expertise in Financial Services and Banking—to bridge the gap between complex data and actionable business strategy.

At Deep Light, we dont believe in "off-the-shelf" fixes. We deliver tailored AI solutions designed to integrate seamlessly into existing enterprise architectures, ensuring that innovation is both scalable and secure. From building robust data foundations to deploying sophisticated AI platforms, we empower our clients to lead in an increasingly automated world.

As we expand our footprint across the GCC, we are seeking a talented Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our technical squad and own the ultimate production readiness, resilience, and operational health of our cutting-edge AI solutions.

If you thrive at the intersection of automated software engineering, high-scale cloud infrastructure, and next-generation AI evaluation, this role was built for you.

As our Site Reliability Engineer, you will bridge application quality, MLOps, and cloud resilience. You will build the automated test suites that validate complex LLM and RAG model outputs, engineer chaos-resilient cloud environments, and establish bulletproof observability frameworks - ensuring our applications deliver lightning-fast, banking-grade performance under heavy enterprise traffic.

• Implement load testing, fault-injection techniques, and self-healing automation to ensure web/mobile backends and AI microservices easily sustain banking-scale traffic.
• Build Python-driven, CI/CD-integrated regression test suites that validate application logic, data pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) states.
• Define and track critical Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Objectives (SLOs). Set up real-time telemetry, dashboards, and proactive alerting to catch performance degradation before users do.
• Integrate specialized AI evaluation harnesses (e.g., Deep Eval, Ragas) into deployment pipelines to benchmark model accuracy, hallucinations, and retrieval performance (RAG).
• Automate security scans and privacy checks to satisfy strict banking data residency standards, while monitoring compute efficiency to eliminate redundant cloud spend.

• Youll be working on High-Impact Systems:
  Helping to build and deploy real-world, secure AI applications for premier regional enterprise clients.
• A Culture of Excellence:
  Youll Collaborate with a world-class team of architects, data engineers, and AI specialists who value craft, accountability, and practical problem-solving.
• Growth & Impact:
  Youll take clear ownership of high-visibility platforms, contribute directly to reusable firm IP, and shape how AI is securely deployed across the Middle East.

As an AI consultancy, our greatest asset is the expertise of our people.
While technical mastery is the foundation of what we do, the ability to bridge the gap between complex data science and actionable business value is what defines your success with Deeplight.
We're looking for individuals who are not only world-class in their fields of specialism, but also compelling communicators and persuasive advocates for their own skills.
You will be the face of our firm, tasked with building trust, articulating the "why" behind your technical decisions, and effectively "selling" your vision to high-level stakeholders.
If you thrive on the challenge of presenting cutting-edge solutions as much as you do on building them, you will fit right in.

• High proficiency in Python (mandatory) and Bash scripting, alongside automation test frameworks like PyTest, Selenium, or Robot Framework.
• Strong hands-on experience with Azure or AWS, focusing on cloud networking, auto-scaling topologies, containerized environments, and serverless reliability.
• Modern Tooling Command:
• CI/CD & IaC:
  Git Hub Actions, Azure Dev Ops, and Terraform (reading/validating state).
• Performance & Load: K6 or JMeter.
• Observability:
