PricewaterhouseCoopers

You will be part of a team that reports to the Cloud Service Delivery Director and will be an integral part of the team based in Cairo, as well as those delivering client transformation programs across the PwC Global Network, including the UK, Germany and Middle East.

As a Cloud DevOps Senior Associate, you will be responsible for leading the design, implementation, and maintenance of secure and efficient DevOps pipelines in cloud environments. You will work closely with development, operations, and security teams to integrate security into every phase of the software development lifecycle. Your expertise in Azure cloud technologies and DevOps practices will be crucial in ensuring the stability, scalability, and security of our cloud-based environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Mentor and coach less experienced engineers, fostering skill development in DevOps practices, cloud infrastructure, and automation. Provide technical guidance, encourage best practices, and promote continuous learning within the team.

• Serve as the primary technical liaison for stakeholders, clearly communicating project progress, challenges, and risks. Ensure alignment between technical teams and business objectives, and facilitate collaborative decision-making.

• Lead the design, implementation, and continuous optimization of CI/CD pipelines using tools like Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or cloud-native solutions (GCP preferred, but AWS or Azure experience is also acceptable) to automate the software development and deployment lifecycle.

• Seamlessly integrate security tools and practices into the DevOps pipeline, ensuring continuous security testing, vulnerability scanning, and compliance with industry standards (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2). Utilize cloud-native security tools such as Google Cloud Security Command Center (preferred), AWS GuardDuty, or Azure Sentinel for proactive threat detection and incident response.

• Collaborate with stakeholders and cross-functional teams to analyze business requirements, define cloud strategies, and design scalable, secure, and resilient solutions, preferably on GCP, but experience with AWS or Azure is also acceptable.

• Implement and manage infrastructure using IaC tools like Terraform (preferred), CloudFormation (AWS), or ARM (Azure), with a strong focus on automating security controls and ensuring compliance throughout the development lifecycle.

• Implement and manage monitoring and logging solutions using tools such as Google Cloud Operations Suite (preferred), AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, or third-party platforms like Prometheus and Grafana to maintain high availability, performance, and security.

• Design, deploy, and manage containerized applications using Docker and orchestrate them with Kubernetes or managed Kubernetes services like Google Kubernetes Engine (preferred), Amazon EKS, or Azure AKS. Ensure scalability, availability, and security of microservices architectures.

Required Skills and Experience:

• Extensive hands-on experience with at least one cloud provider GCP (preferred), AWS, or Azure including cloud services like Kubernetes, serverless functions, and managed databases.

• Strong proficiency in using CI/CD pipeline tools such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or cloud-native tools (GCP Cloud Build, AWS CodePipeline) for automating build, test, and deployment processes.

• Proficient in cloud-native security tools such as Google Cloud Security Command Center, AWS Security Hub, or Azure Security Center, with experience integrating security into the development pipeline and enforcing security best practices.

• Experience with infrastructure provisioning and configuration using tools like Terraform (preferred), AWS CloudFormation, or Azure ARM templates, with a focus on automating security and compliance.

• Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools like Google Cloud Operations Suite, AWS CloudWatch, or Azure Monitor, as well as third-party tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack.

• In-depth experience with Docker and Kubernetes (GKE preferred, but EKS or AKS is acceptable) for deploying and managing containerized applications at scale.

• Proven ability to mentor junior engineers, fostering their professional growth and helping them adopt best practices in cloud infrastructure and DevOps.

• Strong communication skills for effectively managing stakeholder relationships, providing updates, and ensuring the alignment of technical solutions with business requirements.
