DeepLight AI is a specialist AI and data consultancy dedicated to transforming the regional corporate landscape through bespoke, high-impact intelligent systems. Based in the UAE, we partner with organizations across diverse sectors—with a deep-rooted expertise in Financial Services and Banking—to bridge the gap between complex data and actionable business strategy. At DeepLight, we don't believe in "off-the-shelf" fixes. We deliver tailored AI solutions designed to integrate seamlessly into existing enterprise architectures, ensuring that innovation is both scalable and secure. From building robust data foundations to deploying sophisticated AI platforms, we empower our clients to lead in an increasingly automated world. The Senior Azure Platform Engineer role is a strategic "Greenfield" leadership position focused on architecting the foundational Azure ecosystem for a major FinTech enterprise. You will be responsible for designing and deploying a secure, automated, and AI-ready cloud infrastructure from the ground up, balancing cutting-edge Azure OpenAI integration with rigorous FinOps and Terraform standardization. Ultimately, you are building the scalable, high-performance "engine room" that will power the next generation of digital financial services. Your responsibilities as the Senior Azure Platform Engineer include: Architect and deploy production-ready Azure environments from scratch using a landing zone approach. Integrate and manage Azure AI services (OpenAI, AI Search, Document Intelligence, Content Safety) to support AI-driven application development. Standardize all deployments using Terraform to ensure consistency and modularity. Manage API lifecycles using Azure APIM and Kong, ensuring secure and performant communication between services. Proactively manage cloud costs by analyzing SKUs and implementing advanced monitoring/alerting to prevent budget overruns. Design automated GitHub Workflows to enable seamless CI/CD for both infrastructure and application code. As an AI consultancy, our greatest asset is the expertise of our people. While technical mastery is the foundation of what we do, the ability to bridge the gap between complex data science and actionable business value is what defines your success with Deeplight. We're looking for individuals who are not only world-class in their fields of specialism, but also compelling communicators and persuasive advocates for their own skills. You will be the face of our firm, tasked with building trust, articulating the "why" behind your technical decisions, and effectively "selling" your vision to high-level stakeholders. If you thrive on the challenge of presenting cutting-edge solutions as much as you do on building them, you will fit right in. Requirements What you need to have: 5+ years experience with Azure Cloud Platform. Expert-level Terraform skills. Familiarity with Azure AI Foundry and OpenAI Service. Expert knowledge of Network Architecture (VNETs, Peering, Firewalls, Private Links). Hands-on experience with Azure APIM or Kong. Proven ability to create professional Cloud Architecture Diagrams and provide Solutions Architecture guidance. Benefits The benefits you'll enjoy as part of this role include: Competitive salary Comprehensive personal health insurance Visa Sponsorship for the successful individual Professional development and certification support Subscription reimbursement relating to your role Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects Monthly Employee Incentive program Career advancement opportunities in a rapidly growing AI company This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of AI implementation while working with a talented team of professionals at the forefront of technological innovation.
