Job Description:

Fortek (Private) Limited is expanding its on-premises ICT infrastructure and data center footprint, including GPU-enabled compute for AI/ML workloads. The DevOps & Infrastructure Engineer will be the operational backbone of this environment — owning the full lifecycle of company-owned physical and virtual servers, from provisioning and hardening through to automation, monitoring, and disaster recovery. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role for someone who is equally comfortable in a server room, a Kubernetes cluster, and a runbook.

The incumbent will work closely with the Head of Engineering/CTO and cross-functional engineering teams to build repeatable, secure, and well-documented infrastructure practices, while directly supporting local production systems, CI/CD pipelines, and GPU-accelerated deployments that underpin Fortek's service delivery to clients across Pakistan's ICT and data center sector.
