DevOps Engineer - ALE

Beirut , Lebanon
full-time

TLDR

Join a key infrastructure transformation at Aspire Software, transitioning to a modern cloud-native architecture while implementing industry best practices and AI-driven solutions.

Aspire Software is looking for a DevOps Engineer to join our team in Lebanon.

Here is a little window into our company: Aspire Software operates and manages wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry best practices, Aspire delivers a time sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.

Role Summary:
We are in the early stages of a significant infrastructure transformation, migrating from legacy on-premise and single-tenant cloud hosting to a modern, multi-tenant cloud-native architecture. This role is hands-on. You'll be building the infrastructure, pipelines, and automation that make the transformation happen.

You'll work alongside a small, senior engineering team to stand up the cloud platform, establish CI/CD practices, and progressively migrate workloads from the existing environment. The architecture direction exists; we need someone who can execute it.

We build with AI. Coding assistants, automated code review, infrastructure generation, and AI-driven debugging are part of the daily workflow, not an experiment. You should already be working this way.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build and manage AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred). Design for multi-tenancy, cost efficiency, and compliance requirements from the start.
  • Design and implement CI/CD pipelines. Automated build, test, and deployment workflows that the development team actually uses. Replace manual or fragile deployment processes.
  • Containerize and orchestrate workloads. Docker for packaging, Kubernetes (EKS) or ECS for orchestration. Migrate services incrementally from legacy hosting.
  • Establish observability. Monitoring, logging, alerting, and dashboards. The team needs to know when something breaks before customers tell them.
  • Integrate security into the pipeline. Dependency scanning, container image hardening, secrets management, infrastructure compliance checks. Compliance is the product; the infrastructure must reflect that.
  • Support database migration and refactoring. Participate in planning and executing migration from existing database infrastructure, including replication, backup/restore strategies, and data integrity validation.
  • Automation. Environment provisioning, scaling, certificate management, routine operational tasks. Reduce the manual overhead that currently consumes engineering time.
  • Document as you build. Runbooks, architecture decision records, onboarding guides. You're establishing the foundation others will maintain.
  • Participate in on-call rotation as infrastructure matures.

Requirements

    • 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering roles. You've built cloud infrastructure, not just maintained someone else's.
    • Proficiency with AI development tools. You use AI agents, CLI tools, agentic orchestration, infrastructure generation, and automated troubleshooting as core parts of your workflow. You can evaluate AI-generated output critically and build and evolve your toolchain and the system over time. You have outstanding communication and prompting skills to drive effective specifications.
    • Strong AWS experience. VPC networking, IAM, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, cost management. You understand the billing model, not just the services.
    • Infrastructure as Code. Terraform strongly preferred.
    • CI/CD pipeline design. GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps Pipelines, or similar. You've built pipelines for teams.
    • Container technologies. Docker (build, optimize, secure), Kubernetes or ECS for orchestration.
    • Scripting and automation. Python, Bash, or Go. You write tools, not just configs.
    • Networking fundamentals. DNS, load balancing, firewalls, VPNs, TLS. You can troubleshoot at the packet level when needed.
    • Database operations knowledge. Backup/restore, replication, migration planning. Experience with MySQL and/or SQL Server is relevant.
    • Security mindset. Secrets management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager), vulnerability scanning, least-privilege IAM, container hardening.
    • Monitoring and observability. Experience with tools like Datadog, CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK, or similar. Protocols like OpenTelemetry.
    • Comfortable working in a small team where you own outcomes end-to-end.

Preferred (But Not Required)

    • Experience migrating legacy .NET/Windows workloads to Linux/container environments
    • Experience in regulated industries (finance, payments, healthcare)
    • Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001) and their infrastructure implications
    • Experience with multi-tenant SaaS architecture patterns
