Senior DevOps Engineer- CoTT

Aspire Software is looking for a Senior 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.

About the Role :
We are seeking a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to take ownership of our CI/CD pipelines and cloud delivery platform. This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role, reporting to the Director of Development, with no people management responsibilities. The initial and most critical focus of this role is ownership and improvement of Azure DevOps (ADO) CI/CD pipelines. Once delivery pipelines are stable, reliable, and scalable, the role will expand to include evaluation and execution of AWS infrastructure improvements and the migration of legacy, VM-based workloads into AWS.

This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys building, executing, and delivering, is comfortable operating with ambiguity, and earns architectural influence through results.

Key Responsibilities

• Azure DevOps & CI/CD (Primary Focus)
• Act as the primary owner of Azure DevOps Services and CI/CD pipelines
• Design, implement, and maintain YAML-based, multi-stage pipelines (build, test, deploy)
• Manage service connections, environment approvals, and release strategies
• Improve pipeline reliability, security, and developer experience
• Partner closely with development teams to enable fast, safe, and repeatable delivery

AWS Infrastructure & Platform Ownership (Secondary Focus)

• Act as the technical expert for AWS infrastructure decisions
• Evaluate the current AWS development environment and identify gaps or risks
• Make pragmatic recommendations around architecture, security, scalability, and cost containment
• Work hands-on with core AWS services, including:
• Compute & Load Balancing: EC2, Auto Scaling, ALB
• Networking: VPCs, subnets, routing, security groups, NAT
• Integration & Services: IAM, Lambda, API Gateway

Legacy Migration & Delivery

• Design and execute migrations of legacy, tightly coupled, VM-based systems from a thirdparty hosting provider into AWS
• Propose target architectures that balance speed, risk, cost, and future flexibility
• Deliver working systems in AWS, with success measured by delivery, not documentation
• Over time, evolve into a trusted advisor guiding platform and infrastructure best practices

Operational Excellence

• Use Terraform to manage infrastructure as code in production environments
• Monitor system health, availability, and performance; participate in incident response and root cause analysis
• Maintain clear, pragmatic documentation for pipelines, infrastructure, and operational processes

• 6–10+ years of professional engineering experience, with 4+ years in senior DevOps, cloud, or platform-focused roles
• 4+ years of hands-on, production experience with Azure DevOps Services, including:
• YAML-based pipelines
• Multi-stage CI/CD
• Environment approvals and service connections
• Git-based workflows and branching strategies
• (Candidates without deep, real-world Azure DevOps ownership should not apply.)
• Strong production experience with AWS core services, including EC2, ALB, VPC, IAM, Lambda, and API Gateway
• Proven experience using Terraform to manage infrastructure in production
• Experience migrating or modernizing legacy or manually managed infrastructure
• Strong Linux fundamentals and scripting experience (Bash, PowerShell, or similar)
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity, incomplete documentation, and evolving requirements

Preferred Skills and Qualifications:

• Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS)
• Exposure to cloud security, compliance, or cost optimization practices
• AWS or Azure certifications
• Experience supporting multi-environment deployments (dev, staging, prod)
