Position Overview:

DeepLight is seeking an experienced AWS Platform Engineer to join our cutting-edge technology team in the UAE. This role goes beyond design and development—you will be directly responsible for implementing, deploying, and operationalizing our cloud infrastructure on AWS to support real-time AI workloads and enterprise-grade solutions.

You will lead the end-to-end implementation of robust, scalable, and secure cloud architectures that enable DeepLight’s data pipelines, machine learning platforms, and client-facing applications. Your work will ensure that our solutions move seamlessly from design into production, powering our mission-critical systems.

Requirements

Responsibilities:

· Cloud Infrastructure Management: Design, implement, and maintain secure, scalable, and highly available cloud infrastructure to support a range of applications and services, including data-intensive and AI workloads, following industry best practices.
· Automation: Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform or equivalent to automate the provisioning, deployment, monitoring, and management of cloud infrastructure across environments.
· Security and Compliance: Enforce and implement security best practices and compliance measures, including identity and access management, data protection, encryption, and vulnerability scanning—especially for AI and analytics data pipelines.
· Performance Optimization: Monitor, analyze, and actively improve system performance, ensuring reliability and operational efficiency across workloads, including those supporting machine learning model training and inference.
· Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): Develop, implement, and manage CI/CD pipelines to streamline deployment processes, including integration with MLOps workflows for rapid and stable delivery of applications and AI services.
· Collaboration: Work closely with software engineers, data teams, and operations groups to gather requirements, implement solutions, troubleshoot issues, and support the full deployment lifecycle for analytics and AI workloads.
· Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for system architecture, deployment workflows, configuration standards, and operational processes—including infrastructure components relevant to AI and machine learning.

Requirements:

· Proven experience as a Platform or Infrastructure Engineer, or in a similar role, with a strong background in building and maintaining cloud-agnostic infrastructure environments supporting scalable applications and AI workloads.
· Hands-on experience with a variety of cloud platforms and services, including compute, storage, networking, identity management, and container orchestration tools, across public cloud, hybrid, or on-prem environments.
· Proficiency with containerization and orchestration technologies, such as Docker and Kubernetes, and familiarity with microservices-based architecture and distributed systems design.
· Demonstrated experience in DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipeline creation and integration, configuration management, and system monitoring with tools like Jenkins, Git, Prometheus, or Grafana.
· Experience supporting AI/ML infrastructure, including the provisioning of GPU-accelerated environments, managing ML training pipelines, and deploying models in production environments using infrastructure automation and MLOps tooling.
· Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a track record of delivering production-ready infrastructure in cross-functional teams, including collaborations with data science and machine learning engineers.
· Commitment to continuous learning and staying current with emerging technologies and best practices in cloud infrastructure, automation, and AI operations.
