DevOps Engineer

Projecx is a Business Development Studio building its own SaaS platforms — Subrate (brand intelligence), Bandora CMS, Revenyu CRM — alongside AI services and digital platforms for government, real estate, and commercial clients across the Middle East . We're hiring a DevOps Engineer to own infrastructure, deployments, and reliability across our full portfolio: our own products, our AI services, and the products we build and run for our clients.

What you'll do

• Own CI/CD pipelines for our NestJS/Node.js, Next.js, and Laravel applications across multiple products, clients, and environments
• Deploy and operate a diverse portfolio of projects simultaneously — each with its own stack, hosting arrangement, and client requirements
• Run the infrastructure behind our AI services: LLM API integrations, vector search (PostgreSQL + pgvector), embedding pipelines, RAG workloads, and MCP-based gateway services
• Manage GPU/inference workloads, model-serving endpoints, and the cost, latency, and rate-limit characteristics of AI-heavy products
• Manage and harden our PostgreSQL, Redis, and BullMQ-based queue infrastructure powering ingestion and background AI jobs
• Containerize services with Docker and manage staging/production environments for both in-house SaaS and client deployments
• Implement monitoring, alerting, logging, and uptime SLAs across all live platforms — including observability for AI pipelines and token/usage cost tracking
• Own backup, disaster recovery, and security posture — several of our clients are government entities with strict compliance and data-residency expectations
• Automate provisioning of new client environments so every new project spins up fast and consistently
• Support the engineering team with environment issues, performance tuning, and infrastructure cost optimization

What we're looking for

• 3+ years in DevOps/SRE roles running production Node.js and/or PHP workloads
• Comfortable context-switching across many concurrent projects and client environments
• Strong with Docker, Nginx, Linux server administration, and CI/CD (GitHub Actions or similar)
• Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and Redis in production
• Practical experience deploying AI/LLM-backed applications — API integrations, vector databases, queue-driven inference, or self-hosted models
• Cloud experience (AWS, DigitalOcean, or equivalent) — provisioning, networking, DNS, SSL
• Security-first mindset: SSH hardening, secrets management, WAF, DDoS mitigation, incident response
• Scripting ability (Bash, Node.js, or Python) for automation

Nice to have

• Kubernetes or container orchestration experience
• Self-hosted model serving (vLLM, Ollama, Triton) or GPU instance management
• Experience with UAE government hosting/compliance requirements or on-prem/ESB integrations
• Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Ansible)
• MLOps tooling and AI observability (LangSmith, Langfuse, or similar)
• Malware remediation and server forensics experience
• Arabic language skills

Why Projecx

You won't babysit one product — you'll run the infrastructure behind multiple live SaaS platforms, AI services, client products, and high-profile government projects, with direct access to leadership and fast decision-making.
