Job description

Oivan is a digital engineering, AI, cloud, and cybersecurity services company. We help governments, giga-projects, and large enterprises build, modernize, operate, and secure mission-critical digital services. Our mission is to build intelligent digital platforms that matter - then help our clients run and improve them at scale. We combine Nordic engineering standards with deep regional commitment, with our operational headquarters in Riyadh and delivery teams across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Our clients come to us when they need to turn complex transformation goals into reliable, secure production systems.

Why This Role Matters

As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will design and operate the platforms that let our clients build, ship, and run software safely at enterprise scale.

You will work across CI/CD, cloud, container orchestration, and security - bridging the gap between development, operations, and security teams so that releases are fast, repeatable, and secure.

This is a hands-on, client-facing role based in Riyadh.

• Manage service discovery: Implement and operate Consul clusters for service discovery and configuration management.
• Design for resilience: Design and test Disaster Recovery (DR) solutions, including data replication, failover strategies, and DR networking setup.
• Lead discovery and migration: Lead discovery and assessment of existing SDLC, CI/CD, and infrastructure environments, and plan and execute migrations from existing GitLab instances or other DevOps platforms (e.g., Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Bitbucket) to new GitLab environments.
• Stand up GitLab: Install, configure, and operate GitLab on-premise environments, and design GitLab reference architectures.
• Document operations: Create and maintain Runbooks and Playbooks for product- and project-based operations.
• Embed security: Implement security scanning and automated security testing within CI/CD pipelines.
• Bridge teams: Connect Development, Operations, and Security teams to deliver secure, reliable platforms.
• Keep platforms healthy: Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize platform performance, availability, and reliability.
• Share knowledge: Conduct training sessions and knowledge transfer for customers and internal teams.
• Engage clients: Work closely with customer stakeholders in on-site engagements in KSA.

Core Experience

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, CI/CD, or Platform Engineering.
• Strong experience working in on-premise enterprise environments.
• Ability to work independently in a customer-facing role.
• Cloud Experience with cloud administration on at least one of the following: Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Microsoft Azure.
• Infrastructure as Code Strong hands-on experience with: Terraform Ansible CI/CD & GitLab hands-on experience with GitLab migrations and high-availability GitLab implementations.
