DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer - United Arab Emirates (UAE) - Leading Quantitative Fund - Up to $200k - $400k TC - Finance/trading domain experience needed
📍 Location: United Arab Emirates
💰 Compensation: $200,000 – $400,000 Total Compensation
The Opportunity
A leading quant fund is seeking an experienced DevOps/Infrastructure Engineer to join their high-impact team in the UAE. This is a senior-level position for engineers who have built infrastructure from the ground up - not just maintained systems, but architected, automated, and optimised them across environments.
You’ll play a key role in owning and evolving a mature, production-grade infrastructure that supports real-time systems at scale. This is not a siloed role - you’ll be hands-on across the full DevOps lifecycle, with influence over every layer from low-level networking to Kubernetes orchestration and CI/CD tooling.
What You’ll Do
- End-to-End Infrastructure Ownership: Design, build, and maintain infrastructure across cloud and on-prem environments. You'll be responsible for both project development and day-to-day management across the full stack.
- CI/CD Pipeline Development: Architect, implement, and manage robust pipelines using tools like GitLab, GitHub Actions, Jenkins or equivalent.
- Kubernetes Orchestration: Deploy and manage production workloads on Kubernetes. Ensure scalability, performance, and resilience of containerised systems.
- Core Networking & Security: Take ownership of Layer 0 networking infrastructure and ensure secure networking practices and permissions across the platform.
- Observability & Monitoring: Build alerting and monitoring systems using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and others to maintain operational excellence.
What We’re Looking For
- Hands-on experience in DevOps, infrastructure, or platform engineering roles
- Demonstrated experience building infrastructure from scratch within finance/trading firms
- Strong proficiency with CI/CD systems and pipeline automation (any stack: GitLab, GitHub, Jenkins, etc.)
- Deep knowledge of Kubernetes and container orchestration in production environments
- Solid grasp of networking fundamentals and experience managing core networking components
- Sound understanding of infrastructure security practices, from role-based access control to secure networking and permissions
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, or others)
- Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools such as Prometheus and Grafana
- A builder's mindset - proactive, solutions-oriented, and capable of owning infrastructure projects from idea to deployment
