- Drive postmortems for incidents and uphold reliability practices such as SLIs/SLOs and error budgets.
- Improve CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices, including change and release management.
- Build and maintain observability and monitoring coverage for owned systems.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to design and code reviews.
- Collaborate with the India team to align local implementation with the global platform strategy.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering.
- Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production, including deployment, networking, security, and troubleshooting.
- Experience operating large-scale internal infrastructure platforms in a public cloud, preferably AWS.
- Solid experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).
- Strong proficiency in Python or similar scripting and programming languages.
- Exposure to or interest in building infrastructure that hosts AI/ML or agentic workflows.
- Experience with observability platforms and monitoring tools such as Grafana, Splunk, or APM.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with ambiguity around process and tooling.
- Effective verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across time zones.
- Computer Science degree or related field, or equivalent experience.
