DevOps Engineer - Senior Consultant - Cairo

The opportunity

As a Senior DevOps Engineer in the AI Hub, you will design, automate, secure, and operate cloud and hybrid platforms for AI-driven applications. You will own CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, release governance, and production readiness so teams can move from prototype to production safely and repeatably. Azure is the primary platform, with client on-prem/hybrid environments a key delivery context.

Your key responsibilities

You will partner with developers, AI/data engineers, product owners, security teams, and client stakeholders to architect solutions and standardize reliable delivery.

Skills and attributes for success

• Own an Azure-first DevOps/developer platform: reusable templates, pipeline blueprints, environment patterns, and deployment standards

• Enable teams to ship quickly with CI/CD, IaC, observability, and security controls built into the “golden path” for new services

• Partner on solution/platform architecture (hosting choices, environment design, integration patterns, security, scalability, reliability, production readiness)

• Build and optimize CI/CD for front-end, back-end, data, and AI/ML services (Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions or equivalent)

• Define and evolve IaC modules and standards (Bicep/Terraform/ARM)

• Deploy and run services on Azure (App Service, Functions, Static Web Apps, Container Apps, AKS) with sound release and environment management (approvals, gates, rollback)

• Embed security by design and in pipelines (Entra ID, managed identities, RBAC, Key Vault, private endpoints; scanning/policy checks; secure releases)

• Establish operational readiness: monitoring/alerting, dashboards, runbooks, and incident response (Azure Monitor/App Insights/Log Analytics)

• Help productionize AI/GenAI workloads (LLMOps/MLOps patterns, quality gates, monitoring)

• Support cloud/hybrid/on-prem deployments (secure connectivity, network constraints, integration with client infrastructure)

• Automate ops with scripting (PowerShell/Bash/Python/Azure CLI) and drive reliability/performance/cost improvements (RCA, capacity, optimization)

• Collaborate across engineering, security, product, and clients; contribute runbooks, standards, and documentation that raise delivery quality

To qualify for the role you must have

• 7+ years in DevOps/platform or cloud engineering (infrastructure automation)

• Strong hands-on Azure experience in production/enterprise environments

• CI/CD pipeline delivery (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar)

• Developer enablement via reusable platform patterns, templates, and deployment standards (internal developer platforms a plus)

• Infrastructure as code (Bicep, Terraform, ARM, or equivalent)

• Deploy/operate web apps, APIs, containers, and serverless on Azure (App Service, Functions, Container Apps, AKS, Key Vault, Monitor/Log Analytics, networking)

• Docker and container patterns; Kubernetes/AKS strongly preferred

• Observability/monitoring, alerting, incident response, and production troubleshooting

• Enterprise security and hybrid/on-prem constraints (identity/RBAC, secrets, private networking, controlled releases, VPN/private endpoints)

• Comfortable in iterative delivery teams (PoCs, MVPs, and production)

Ideally you’ll also have

• Microsoft certifications (, AZ-400 DevOps Engineer Expert)

• Deep AKS/Kubernetes operations (Helm, ingress, registries, container security)

• Reusable infrastructure modules (Terraform and/or Bicep)

• Azure governance (Landing Zones, Policy, Defender for Cloud, Sentinel)

• Regulated/security-sensitive environments (privacy, auditability, access control, data residency)

• AI/GenAI platform experience (RAG, vector DBs, prompt/eval pipelines, monitoring)

• On-prem/hybrid infrastructure (Windows/Linux, enterprise networking, VPN/private connectivity, modernization)

• FinOps/cost optimization (monitoring, budgets, controls)

• SAP/ERP and enterprise system integrations (Azure or hybrid)
