Flexible Work Model
Work from home, from the office, or in a hybrid format that supports focus and collaboration.
aBOUT THE ROLE
Together with our client, we are building and evolving a modern, enterprise-grade cloud platform on Microsoft Azure that powers critical business operations at scale. Our client operates in a domain where reliability, security, and delivery speed directly translate into business outcomes — and they trust us to own the engineering foundation that makes that possible.
Our DevOps team is a hands-on, cross-functional group responsible for the full infrastructure lifecycle — from IaC modules and CI/CD pipelines to Kubernetes clusters and observability.
RESPONSIBILITES
- Be open to often onsite visits to client in Doha, Qatar with onboarding on-site
- Own the cloud and DevOps architecture roadmap on Azure — define the vision, set the standards, and build the reference patterns
- Design and maintain Terraform modules for environment-separated, production-grade infrastructure
- Build, improve, and operate GitLab CI/CD pipelines for reliable, multi-environment deployments
- Manage AKS clusters and containerized workloads — from ingress configuration to potential service mesh adoption
- Drive observability across the platform using Dynatrace for full-stack monitoring, distributed tracing, dashboards, and alerting, integrated with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics
- Embed security into every layer of the platform — secret management, network policies, least-privilege RBAC, and DevSecOps practices
- Lead, mentor, and grow a DevOps team — establish engineering standards and a culture of ownership
- Optimize cloud costs and resource utilization while maintaining performance and reliability SLAs
- Collaborate with engineering teams to improve the inner developer loop and the overall developer experience
- Maintain clear, practical documentation so that architectural decisions and platform standards outlive any single contributor
REQUIREMENTS
- Advanced experience as DevOps, Cloud, or SRE roles for 5+ years, with at least 2 years in a lead or architect capacity
- Strong skills in designing and operating production workloads on Microsoft Azure (AKS, API Management, Application Gateway, Front Door, VNet, Private Link, Key Vault, Service Bus, Event Hub)
- Proven proficiency in Infrastructure as Code with Terraform — including modular design, remote state, and environment separation
- Strong expertise in running Kubernetes in production, specifically AKS, with hands-on Helm and containerized application experience
- Extensive experience with GitLab CI/CD end-to-end — pipelines, runners, environments, container registries, and reusable pipeline templates
- Strong knowledge of cloud networking: VNet, subnets, NSG, Private Endpoints, DNS, and load balancing
- Solid knowledge of Azure security and identity: Entra ID, RBAC, Managed Identities, Key Vault, Azure Policy, and Defender for Cloud
- Working proficiency in scripting with Bash, PowerShell, or Python
- Practical experience with Dynatrace or similar APM and observability tooling in a production context
- Strong ability to clearly explain technical trade-offs to developers, security teams, and business stakeholders
- Familiarity with GitOps approaches (ArgoCD / Flux) as an advantage
- Experience with FinOps or cloud cost optimization (nice to have)
- Certification in Azure (AZ-104, AZ-305, AZ-400) or Dynatrace (as a plus)
