[Hiring] Senior DevOps Engineer @Bokra Holding

Role Description

The Senior DevOps Engineer designs, automates, and maintains high-availability, fault-tolerant, and secure infrastructure powering digital financial products (e.g., nano-finance, consumer finance, e-payments, digital insurance brokerage). Operating within an FRA-regulated environment, this role bridges core software development and the CISO's governance framework. The engineer is responsible for embedding DevSecOps pipelines, automated compliance controls, immutable audit logging, and Disaster Recovery (DR) automation into every layer of the cloud and on-premise infrastructure.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Software Engineering, Computer Information Systems, or a related field.
• 5–8 years of overall IT/Software Engineering experience, with at least 4 years dedicated to DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Platform Engineering in a FinTech, Digital Banking, or highly regulated transactional environment.
• Proven track record working under strict InfoSec oversight (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, or central bank/financial regulator standards); familiarity with Egypt's data privacy (PDPL 151/2020) and FRA IT requirements.
• At least one certified tier: Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), AWS Certified DevOps Engineer - Professional, Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert, or HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate (Preferred).
• Strong troubleshooting acumen across Linux kernel internals, TCP/IP networking, DNS, TLS/SSL termination, and distributed systems performance tuning.

Requirements

• Design, build, and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) ensuring zero-downtime blue/green or canary deployments.
• Enforce "shift-left" security controls directly into deployment workflows: integrate automated SAST, DAST, software composition analysis (SCA), and container image vulnerability scanners.
• Enforce binary authorization and artifact signing, ensuring only cryptographically verified images are deployed to production clusters.
• Architect and manage scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS / Microsoft Azure / local data centers) using Terraform or Terragrunt, maintaining 100% declarative infrastructure.
• Ensure infrastructure architecture strictly satisfies Egyptian data residency and hosting regulations.
• Implement network zoning, Micro-segmentation, Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), and Zero-Trust access rules.
• Manage production-grade Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS, or bare metal) focusing on multi-tenancy, resource optimization, autoscaling, and high availability.
• Implement Kubernetes security standards: Network Policies, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Pod Security Standards, and runtime threat detection.
• Build and automate Disaster Recovery failover protocols to satisfy FRA business continuity thresholds.
• Automate continuous database backups, snapshot replication, and cross-region/cross-zone synchronization.
• Deploy enterprise-wide observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK/OpenSearch, Datadog).
• Construct tamper-evident, centralized audit log pipelines.
• Oversee enterprise secret management using tools like HashiCorp Vault.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Comprehensive health insurance.
• Flexible working hours and remote work options.
• Professional development opportunities.
• Work in a dynamic and innovative environment.
