Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
- Own infrastructure architecture, standards, governance, and operational maturity.
- Lead infrastructure planning across Linux, Windows, private cloud, application servers, networking, security, containers, and business systems.
- Define and enforce infrastructure operating standards.
- Review major infrastructure and production changes before implementation.
- Lead technical decisions for availability, scalability, monitoring, security, backup, and disaster recovery.
- Ensure manual recurring work is converted into automation backlog items.
- Define virtualization standards, VM lifecycle policies, template standards, backup standards, and capacity planning models.
- Oversee platforms such as VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, OpenStack, Nutanix, Azure Stack, or similar.
- Define containerization standards for Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, Helm, registries, image scanning, secrets, namespaces, RBAC, and resource limits.
- Ensure every VM and containerized workload has an owner, backup plan, monitoring, access model, and documentation.
- Prevent VM sprawl and container sprawl through governance.
- Design and maintain high-availability infrastructure.
- Own backup validation, restore testing, and disaster recovery planning.
- Define RPO/RTO targets for critical systems.
- Conduct DR simulations and infrastructure resilience reviews.
- Ensure critical systems have documented recovery procedures.
- Oversee infrastructure security controls across Windows, Linux, private cloud, containers, network, application servers, CRM, ERP, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365.
- Enforce MFA, least privilege, access reviews, audit trails, and secure secrets management.
- Lead patch governance and vulnerability remediation priorities.
- Lead major production incidents and coordinate technical response.
- Ensure incident severity, escalation, RCA, and post-incident improvement processes are followed.
- Maintain production runbooks and escalation procedures.
- Participate in the on-call rotation for critical production incidents.
- Provide technical guidance to systems, application server, and DevOps engineers.
- Lead cross-training across the infrastructure team so that each engineer can cover for the others during absences; ensure all critical systems have documented runbooks, not tribal knowledge.
- Maintain a shared on-call rotation across the team with clear escalation paths so no single person is a dependency.
- Assign primary and backup ownership for all infrastructure systems.
- 8+ years in infrastructure, platform engineering, systems engineering, DevOps, private cloud operations, or enterprise IT operations.
- Strong experience leading production infrastructure in mature enterprise environments.
- Strong knowledge of Linux and Windows Server environments.
- Proven experience building or operating private cloud / virtualization platforms.
- Experience with HA, backup, DR, incident management, and RCA.
- Strong understanding of security-first infrastructure operations.
- Must be based in Dubai, UAE.
- ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, UAE PDPL, GDPR, or similar compliance environments.
- Strong preference for candidates with experience in regulated, policy-driven environments — semi-government entities, banking, telecom, energy, healthcare, or defense — where formal Change Advisory Boards, documented custodianship, audit trails, and strict process compliance are standard operating practice.
