280 وظيفة Cloud And Devops Engineer في Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates

Role Overview

The DevOps Engineer owns the AWA platform's deployment, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and operational reliability. You ensure that every AWA component — from AKS namespaces and KEDA autoscalers to ADLS Gen2 lifecycle policies and Azure Firewall allowlists — is deployed consistently, tested automatically, and operated reliably within THE BANK's Azure UAE environment. You are the guardian of the AWA infrastructure: nothing is deployed manually; everything is reproducible from code.

Key Responsibilities

• Infrastructure as code: Own and maintain all AWA Azure infrastructure in Terraform/Bicep: AKS 5-namespace cluster, ADLS Gen2 accounts with WORM policies, Azure AI Foundry APIM configurations, Azure Firewall allowlists, private endpoints, Key Vault, Container Registry, ExpressRoute peering.
• CI/CD pipeline ownership: Design and maintain Azure DevOps pipelines for all AWA components: container image build ACR push Notary v2 signing AKS deployment; Terraform plan policy check apply; Agent Regression Testing gate on every PR.
• AKS operations: Manage the 5-namespace AKS cluster — namespace isolation, Network Policies, Pod Disruption Budgets, KEDA autoscaling rules based on Kafka consumer lag, OPA Gatekeeper admission policies, Workload Identity bindings for all agent pods.
• Container governance: Manage ACR, enforce Notary v2 image signing, configure vulnerability scanning, maintain the approved-image ConfigMap used by OPA Gatekeeper admission control.
• Secret and certificate management: Own Azure Key Vault configuration — access policies per managed identity, automatic TLS certificate rotation, secret rotation schedules, audit of all secret access events.
• Monitoring and alerting: Configure Azure Monitor alert rules and Log Analytics KQL queries for SLA breach, error rate spike, pod crash loop, token budget breach, and Kafka consumer lag; maintain PagerDuty escalation paths.
• Security posture: Work with the AI Security Engineer to implement Azure Policy assignments, Defender for Cloud recommendations, Firewall rule reviews, and Private Endpoint configurations; maintain the AWA network topology diagram.
• Disaster recovery: Maintain and test DR procedures: failover to UAE South replica for ADLS Gen2, Azure AI Foundry PTU PAYG DR endpoint routing, Orkes cluster recovery, RTO/RPO validation.
