AI DevOps Engineer (m/f/d)

Contract
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
12.05.2026

Role Overview

We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to own the deployment, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and operational reliability of an AI-powered workflow automation platform at a leading UAE financial institution. You will be responsible for ensuring every platform component — from Kubernetes namespaces and autoscalers to data lake lifecycle policies and firewall allowlists — is deployed consistently, tested automatically, and operated reliably within Azure. You are the guardian of infrastructure integrity: nothing is deployed manually; everything is reproducible from code.
 

Key Responsibilities

  • Infrastructure as code: Own and maintain all Azure infrastructure in Terraform/Bicep: AKS cluster configuration, ADLS Gen2 with WORM policies, APIM configurations, Azure Firewall allowlists, private endpoints, Key Vault, Container Registry, and ExpressRoute peering.
  • CI/CD pipeline ownership: Design and maintain Azure DevOps pipelines for all platform components — container image build, ACR push, Notary v2 signing, AKS deployment, Terraform plan, policy checks, and Agent Regression Testing gates.
  • AKS operations: Manage multi-namespace AKS cluster — Network Policies, Pod Disruption Budgets, KEDA autoscaling, OPA Gatekeeper admission policies, and Workload Identity bindings for all agent pods.
  • Container governance: Manage ACR, enforce Notary v2 image signing, configure vulnerability scanning, and maintain approved-image ConfigMaps.
  • Secret and certificate management: Own Azure Key Vault configuration — access policies, automatic TLS and secret rotation schedules, and audit of all secret access events.
  • Monitoring and alerting: Configure Azure Monitor alert rules and Log Analytics KQL queries for SLA breaches, error rate spikes, pod crash loops, token budget breaches, and Kafka consumer lag; maintain on-call escalation paths.
  • Security posture: Implement Azure Policy assignments, Defender for Cloud recommendations, Firewall rule reviews, and Private Endpoint configurations; maintain network topology documentation.
  • Disaster recovery: Maintain and test DR procedures including failover configurations, endpoint routing, cluster recovery, and RTO/RPO validation.
 

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • 5+ years in DevOps or Platform Engineering; 2+ years on Azure in a production environment.
  • Terraform or Bicep — production IaC at scale, not just templates.
  • Kubernetes / AKS: namespaces, RBAC, Network Policies, Helm charts, Kustomize.
  • Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions — multi-stage pipelines, approvals, environments.
  • Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and KQL query language.
  • Container ecosystem: Docker, ACR, image signing, and admission control.
  • Azure networking: VNet, private endpoints, NSGs, Azure Firewall, ExpressRoute concepts.
  • KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling) or equivalent autoscaling experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or equivalent.
 

Preferred Attributes

  • Azure Key Vault, managed identity, and Workload Identity for Kubernetes.
  • OPA Gatekeeper or Kyverno for Kubernetes policy enforcement.
  • Kafka / Azure Event Hubs — consumer group management and lag monitoring.
  • ADLS Gen2, WORM immutable storage, and lifecycle management policies.
  • Azure AI Foundry / APIM — token quotas, rate limiting, and backend routing configuration.
  • Security tooling: Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, and Notary v2.
  • Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) or DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400).
  • Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA).
