The Dev Ops Engineer will design, implement, and maintain modern cloud-native infrastructure and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines across enterprise and industrial digital platforms. This role combines software engineering, system administration, automation, and operations to deliver high-performing, scalable, and secure infrastructure supporting the organization’s data and AI initiatives.

The engineer will collaborate closely with data engineers, software developers, cloud architects, and cybersecurity teams to ensure consistent, automated, and compliant cloud deployments within a multi-cloud (Azure and GCP) environment.

• Design, build, and manage cloud infrastructure (Azure and GCP) using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, ARM templates, and Ansible.
• Automate provisioning, scaling, and configuration of compute, storage, and networking resources.
• Implement and maintain container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes, Open Shift, and Docker Swarm for scalable deployments.
• Develop and maintain Git Ops workflows using Azure Dev Ops, Git Hub Actions, or Jenkins for automated CI/CD processes.
• Integrate infrastructure automation with Microsoft Graph, REST APIs, and Service Now for operational efficiency.

• Design and manage end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for application, data, and AI workloads.
• Automate build, test, and deployment processes across environments (Dev, Test, Prod).
• Integrate pipelines with code scanning, static analysis, and container security tools (e.g., Snyk, Aqua, Prisma Cloud).
• Implement blue-green and canary deployments to ensure zero-downtime releases.

• Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK Stack.
• Develop automated alerts and dashboards for real-time performance, resource utilization, and cost monitoring.
• Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and performance optimization of infrastructure and pipelines.

• Work closely with the cybersecurity team to integrate security-as-code and compliance controls within Dev Ops workflows.
• Manage secrets, keys, and credentials using Azure Key Vault, and Hashi Corp Vault.
• Ensure compliance with ISO 27001, NIA Qatar, CIS Benchmarks, and corporate governance standards.
• Implement network security controls (NSGs, firewalls, WAFs, VNETs) and enforce Zero Trust principles across CI/CD deployments.

• Partner with Data Science and AI teams to operationalize model training and deployment pipelines (MLOps).
• Collaborate with development teams to containerize and deploy cloud-native applications.
• Identify and implement process improvements to enhance release velocity and reduce deployment risk.
• Stay abreast of emerging technologies and Dev Ops trends to continuously evolve automation maturity.

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• 10+ years of experience as a Dev Ops Engineer or Cloud Infrastructure Engineer in enterprise or industrial environments.
• Proven expertise in CI/CD pipelines, automation, and cloud-based infrastructure.
