Job Overview

A leading organisation in the UAE is seeking an experienced Infrastructure Engineer specializing in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), DevOps, and Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps). The successful candidate will help improve the reliability, availability, scalability, and performance of distributed cloud and edge systems while developing automation and platform engineering solutions.

This role involves managing Kubernetes workloads, building infrastructure automation, implementing observability solutions, and applying AI-driven techniques to detect anomalies, correlate alerts, and support predictive incident management. The engineer will also contribute to event-driven architectures, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and GitOps practices.

The position offers an opportunity to work on modern infrastructure platforms, improve operational efficiency, strengthen incident management, and contribute to the long-term reliability and evolution of enterprise technology systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor, maintain, and improve the reliability and performance of distributed cloud and edge infrastructure.
• Deploy and manage Kubernetes and k3s workloads using Helm and Argo CD.
• Develop automation tools and platform engineering solutions using Python, FastAPI, Go, or Node.js.
• Implement observability and monitoring systems using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK, and OpenSearch.
• Apply AIOps techniques, including anomaly detection, alert correlation, and predictive incident management.
• Design and support event-driven systems using Kafka and RabbitMQ.
• Manage Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and implement GitOps workflows.
• Define and monitor Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs).
• Lead incident response, conduct postmortems, and implement corrective and preventive measures.
• Develop self-healing systems and automated recovery processes to improve service reliability.
• Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to improve deployment efficiency and system performance.

Requirements and Qualifications

• 4-8 years of professional experience in SRE, DevOps, infrastructure engineering, or a related field.
• Practical experience managing distributed cloud or edge systems.
• Knowledge of Kubernetes, k3s, Helm, and Argo CD.
• Programming or automation experience with Python, FastAPI, Go, or Node.js.
• Familiarity with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK, or OpenSearch.
• Understanding of AIOps practices, including anomaly detection and automated incident analysis.
• Experience with Kafka, RabbitMQ, Terraform, and GitOps workflows.
• Understanding of reliability engineering, SLOs, SLIs, incident response, and postmortem processes.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues and improve system resilience.
• UAE-based candidates will receive priority consideration.
