Senior DevSecOps Engineer - Cloud-Native Platform

NEXT Ventures; Dubai; On-site; AED 310,000 - 460,000; Full time

Job summary

NEXT Ventures is seeking a Senior DevSecOps Engineer to build and scale cloud-native infrastructure behind multiple SaaS products on AWS and Kubernetes. You will own CI/CD pipelines, automate infrastructure, and secure delivery with Cloudflare at the edge, while embedding security and AI-assisted tooling throughout the platform.

The role requires 3–5 years in DevOps, strong cloud-native skills, and experience with IaC, scripting, and on-call reliability practices.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in DevOps or Infrastructure engineering.
• Strong command of DevOps practices and tooling — CI/CD, version control (Git), automated testing/deployment, and configuration management.
• Solid cloud-native experience: containers (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and a major cloud provider (AWS strongly preferred).
• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, or similar).
• Scripting/automation ability in Python, Bash, or Go.
• Security-aware engineering — secrets management, least-privilege IAM, and shift-left security baked into pipelines.
• Edge / CDN / WAF experience — managing DNS, WAF, and DDoS protection at the edge (Cloudflare strongly preferred).
• AI-efficient mindset — you actively use AI/LLM tools to boost productivity and problem-solving.
• Strong troubleshooting instincts across DNS, CDN, networking, origin, and application layers.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate cloud-native infrastructure on AWS using infrastructure-as-code.
• Own and improve CI/CD pipelines — making deployments faster, safer, and more self-service for product engineering teams.
• Run and harden Kubernetes (EKS) workloads: scaling, resource management, observability, and cluster health.
• Manage edge, CDN, and security through Cloudflare — DNS, WAF, rate limiting, and DDoS protection.
• Embed security into the platform — secrets management, least-privilege IAM, and shift-left practices baked into pipelines.
• Leverage AI tooling to accelerate delivery, reduce toil, and improve quality.
• Participate in a shared on-call rotation with solid runbooks and blameless post-incident reviews.
• Continuously reduce manual toil through automation and better tooling.
