DevOps Engineer - ALE

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
