About the Role

FNRCO is seeking a skilled DevSecOps / Site Reliability Engineer to join our team in Dammam, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. This full-time position is focused on the design, operation, and security of regulated cloud environments, primarily on AWS and GCP. The role is central to our Sovereign Cloud strategy, requiring a combination of cloud operations, security engineering, and SRE best practices to ensure platform reliability, security, and compliance.

The ideal candidate will be instrumental in embedding security-by-design principles and automation-first practices across our sovereign cloud platforms. This includes managing Kubernetes, implementing Infrastructure as Code, automating CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring robust secrets management. A strong understanding of cloud security, networking fundamentals, and compliance-driven environments is essential, as is the ability to lead cross-functional incident response efforts.

Key Responsibilities

• Deploy, manage, and maintain the organization's Sovereign Cloud strategy, ensuring compliance with regulatory and data residency requirements on AWS/GCP public cloud.
• Manage and operate Kubernetes clusters, including upgrades, scaling, and workload optimization.
• Investigate, analyze, and remediate cloud security incidents, proactively identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities within AWS environments.
• Support and enhance the organization's AWS cloud strategy by embedding security best practices and continuously improving the cloud security posture.
• Implement and tune security tools, automate policy-driven responses, and advocate DevSecOps practices to ensure secure-by-design cloud operations.
• Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to provision, modify, and secure cloud resources.
• Maintain and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Git/GitLab, ensuring secure and automated deployments.
• Manage secrets and secure access using HashiCorp Vault, including token lifecycle, access policies, and secrets rotation.
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, networking, container, and performance issues across distributed systems.
• Monitor system health and performance using Datadog, define and manage SLIs/SLOs, and drive continuous reliability improvements aligned with SRE principles.
• Manage 24x7 alerting and incident response through PagerDuty, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and actively contribute to incident, problem, and change management processes.
• Conduct proactive system hardening, vulnerability remediation, performance tuning, and capacity planning across cloud environments.
• Develop automation using Python/Bash/Terraform/Ansible to reduce manual effort, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen platform resilience.

Qualifications and Requirements

• 4-5 years of hands-on experience in DevSecOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) roles.
• Proven hands-on expertise managing Kubernetes clusters.
• Experience with Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployment.
• Experience with Git/GitLab for CI/CD and version control best practices.
• Experience working with tools such as HashiCorp Vault, Datadog, PagerDuty, and Confluence.
• Strong understanding of Cloud Security principles, including IAM, encryption, network security, container security, and vulnerability management.
• Experience in incident management, change management, and root cause analysis processes.
• Strong understanding of SRE principles (SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, reliability metrics).
• Solid grasp of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, firewalls, VPNs, and private endpoints.
• Experience or exposure to regulated and compliance-driven environments.
• Ability to lead incident bridges during P1/P2 outages, coordinating cross-functional teams and driving timely resolution with clear RCA.
• Maintains a strong customer and business-focused mindset while prioritizing tasks.
