About the Role
As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will design and operate the platforms that enable our clients to build, ship, and run software safely at enterprise scale. Your work will span CI/CD, cloud, container orchestration, and security—bridging the gap between development, operations, and security teams to ensure that releases are fast, repeatable, and secure. This hands-on, client-facing role is based in Riyadh, where you will work on complex, mission-critical environments, lead discovery and migration activities, and enhance how we deliver engineering platforms.
