Site Reliability Engineer

🚀 Site Reliability Engineer (Azure | AKS | OpenShift | Air-Gapped Environments)

📍 UAE | Government-Backed Critical Infrastructure Project

💼 Full-Time | Highly Secure Environment

We are partnering with a leading UAE-based technology organisation delivering mission-critical national platforms to recruit an experienced Site Reliability Engineer (SRE).

This is not a standard cloud role.

You’ll be building and operating secure, air-gapped, GPU-enabled AI platforms in highly restricted environments — where reliability, security, and precision matter.

🔐 The Environment

• Air-gapped & isolated infrastructure
• One-way (diode) data transfer systems
• Government-regulated, security-first architecture
• Azure + OpenShift hybrid deployments
• GPU-powered AI/ML container workloads

If you’ve worked in restricted or defence-grade environments, this will feel familiar.

🛠 What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and operating Azure infrastructure (AKS, Blob, secure integrations)
• Managing OpenShift clusters in both connected and isolated environments
• Operating Kubernetes clusters with strong RBAC, hardening, and compliance controls
• Supporting GPU-based AI/ML workloads (NVIDIA operators, scheduling, optimization)
• Managing secure data ingestion/export workflows in restricted networks
• Maintaining PostgreSQL (HA, backups, performance tuning)
• Automating lifecycle management in environments without internet access

✅ What We’re Looking For

• Strong hands-on Azure experience
• Deep AKS & Kubernetes knowledge
• OpenShift operational experience
• Experience in air-gapped or highly restricted environments
• GPU workload exposure (AI/ML containers)
• PostgreSQL administration experience
• Strong understanding of Kubernetes networking, storage, and security

🌍 Why This Role?

• Work on nationally significant platforms
• High-impact AI & secure cloud projects
• Complex, technically rewarding infrastructure challenges
• Enterprise-grade architecture and engineering culture
• Long-term growth within a cutting-edge environment

This is a rare opportunity to work on secure, large-scale AI infrastructure in one of the region’s most advanced technology ecosystems.
