Building on this foundation they have recently launched an AI division focused on designing our own chips to accelerate inference and\ntraining workloads.What sets them apart is their unique position at the centre of a historic development: our ODM partner\nis establishing the first networking equipment factory of its kind in the GCC region and they are the\nsoftware engine driving this groundbreaking initiative.They are not just building technologythey are building a true networking vendor that serves regional interests while meeting the growing demandfor networking equipment across the MENA region and further.\nTheir long-term vision extends beyond products to people: creating a thriving ecosystem forembedded systems and ASIC design talent that will produce generations of world-classprofessionals establishing our region as a global centre of excellence for Enterprise Computeinnovation.As a rapidly growing company at the forefront of AI hardware innovation they are constantly seeking talented and motivated individuals to join their team. We offer a dynamic and challenging work environment with opportunities to make a significant impact on the future of AI technology.Your Mission\nOwn the end-to-end design and operation of our on-premise infrastructure for AI and enterpriseworkloadsbuilt as code automated observable and secure. You will architect and runKubernetes clusters for training/inference manage servers networks and core services andenable developers with reliable CI/CD and platform tooling. This is where minutes time-to-\nrecovery and cost-per-job directly impact AI velocity at scale.Responsibilities\nDesign and operate on-prem infrastructure as code: author reusable Terraform/Ansible/Helm\nmodules; build GitOps workflows (e.g. Argo CD) for repeatable audited changes acrossenvironments.Build and run Kubernetes for AI: configure multi-tenant GPU clusters (MIG/GPUDirect RDMA\nNVIDIA device plugins/DCGM) scheduling/quotas HPA/Cluster Autoscaler (where applicable)\nand workload isolation.Administer servers networks and core services: OS lifecycle (Linux) identity/SSO\n(Keycloak/LDAP) secrets (Vault) DNS/DHCP/NTP artifact registries and internal package\nmirrors.Provide storage for AI pipelines: integrate and operate high-bandwidth/low-latency storage\ntune for dataset staging and checkpointing patterns.Enable CI/CD: partner with developers to design fast reproducible pipelines (GitLab CI/GitHub\nActions) caching and runners on GPU/CPU nodes artifact provenance (SBOM SLSA).Youll Collaborate WithPlatform and ML engineers running training/inference at scale silicon and systems teams\nintegrating hardware in the lab security engineers safeguarding credentials and supply chain\napplication developers delivering services via CI/CD and site ops supporting data centre\ndeployments together we turn infrastructure into a product that accelerates the business.Minimum Qualifications5 years in DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineering with hands-on ownership of on-prem\nenvironments.\nProven experience operating Kubernetes in production (multi-tenant RBAC networking/CNI\nstorage ingress monitoring).\nProficiency with IaC and automation (Terraform Ansible Helm; GitOps with Argo CD/Flux).\nStrong Linux administration scripting (Bash/Python) and troubleshooting across the stack\n(compute network storage).\nCI/CD expertise (GitLab CI/GitHub Actions) container build security (SBOM image signing) and\nartifact management.\nSolid networking fundamentals (L2/L3 routing BGP VLANs EVPN/VXLAN load balancing\nTLS/mTLS).\nExperience implementing observability (Prometheus/Grafana logs tracing) and running incident\nresponse.Preferred (Nice-to-Haves)GPU cluster operations for AI (NVIDIA drivers/operator DCGM MIG GPUDirect RDMA Slurm\nintegration).\nStorage for data-intensive workloads (Ceph parallel filesystems NVMe-oF) and performance\ntuning.\nSecrets/identity platforms (Vault Keycloak/LDAP/SSO) policy-as-code (OPA/Gatekeeper\nKyverno).\nSecurity/compliance practices (CIS benchmarks SLSA supply-chain scanning) and zero-trust\nnetworking.\nData centre experience (rack/stack power/cooling basics) and remote site rollout automation.\nFamiliarity with configuration management for network devices and API-driven switches/routers.Reproducible environments by default: any engineer can spin up an identical dev/test stack\n(K8s namespace storage secrets runners) from Git in 30 minutes with audit trails for every\nchange.Solid CI/CD for AI workflows: model/build/test pipelines are deterministic and cache-efficient;\nmedian pipeline time down 3050% with artifact provenance (SBOM signatures) and traceable\ndatasets/checkpoints.Predictable GPU orchestration: fair-share scheduling quotas and isolation (MIG/namespacepolicies) keep queues short; cluster utilization increases >20% without starving latency-\nsensitive jobs.Lab-to-cluster continuity: hardware bring-up images drivers and firmware are versioned and\npromoted through the same pipelines; new boards/nodes join clusters with push-button\nautomation.Actionable observability: dashboards and alerts reflect SLOs meaningful to researchers\n(throughput time-to-first-token I/O wait GPU mem pressure); MTTR 80% of\nroutine requests resolved via self-service workflows rather than ad-hoc ops support.Please note that the client can obtain work visas for DubaiPlease ignore the salary level - there is flexibility depending on the persons profile.KIndly complete teh attached questionnaire to complete application: Experience:IC","description_format":"text","description_chars":5825,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-28T05:29:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":52,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.516,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["seen:1","agency","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mbrpartners-devops-it-infrastructure-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mbrpartners-devops-it-infrastructure-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T00:27:40Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":455,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3909693},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3909693"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmbrpartners-devops-it-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmbrpartners-devops-it-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmbrpartners-devops-it-infrastructure-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/mbrpartners-devops-it-infrastructure-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmbrpartners-devops-it-infrastructure-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3382155}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"mbrpartners.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3382155},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
