Job Overview

An exciting opportunity is available for an Infrastructure Engineer specializing in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) to support a major client in Dubai. The position is suitable for experienced engineers with strong expertise in cloud and edge infrastructure, distributed systems, automation, and platform reliability. Candidates must currently be based in Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE and be available to join immediately.

The role focuses on building reliable, observable, and self-healing platforms using technologies such as Kubernetes (k3s), Helm, ArgoCD, GitOps, and Terraform. Responsibilities include supporting CI/CD workflows, automating platform operations, developing infrastructure tools, and implementing monitoring and observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and ELK or OpenSearch.

The successful candidate will also contribute to service reliability through SLOs and SLIs, incident response, postmortem analysis, and AIOps capabilities such as anomaly detection and alert correlation. This role offers an opportunity to strengthen expertise in modern infrastructure engineering, cloud-native platforms, automation, and distributed systems reliability.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain reliable infrastructure for cloud and edge distributed systems.
• Support site reliability engineering practices to improve platform availability, performance, and resilience.
• Manage Kubernetes (k3s) environments and application deployments using Helm and ArgoCD.
• Implement GitOps workflows and support marketplace‑style deployment processes.
• Develop automation scripts, platform utilities, and internal tools using Python, Go, or Node.js.
• Work with FastAPI and other relevant technologies to develop infrastructure and platform services.
• Support distributed messaging systems such as Kafka and RabbitMQ.
• Implement monitoring, logging, and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK, or OpenSearch.
• Contribute to AIOps initiatives, including anomaly detection, alert correlation, and incident prediction.
• Define and monitor Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs).
• Participate in incident response, root‑cause analysis, and postmortem reviews.
• Develop automation and self‑healing mechanisms to improve operational efficiency and reduce recurring incidents.

Requirements and Qualifications

• Minimum four years of relevant professional experience.
• Must currently be based in Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE.
• Immediate availability to join is mandatory.
• Practical knowledge of site reliability engineering and distributed systems.
• Experience with Kubernetes, particularly k3s, and deployment tools such as Helm and ArgoCD.
• Familiarity with GitOps workflows and Terraform‑based infrastructure automation.
• Programming experience in Python, Go, or Node.js; Python FastAPI experience is relevant.
• Experience with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar messaging technologies.
• Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
• Familiarity with ELK Stack or OpenSearch for logging and analysis.
• Understanding of SLOs, SLIs, incident response, postmortems, and reliability engineering practices.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex systems and automate repetitive operational tasks.

Salary, Benefits and Career Growth

The employer has not specified the salary range, benefits package, or certification support for this opportunity. Candidates should confirm compensation and employment terms during the recruitment process.

This role provides an opportunity to develop expertise in cloud‑native infrastructure, Kubernetes orchestration, GitOps, infrastructure as code, observability, and automated reliability engineering. Relevant training and professional certifications in cloud computing, Kubernetes, and SRE may support continued professional development and future progression into senior SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure architecture roles.
