Job description

Experience: 7+ years (flexible based on depth in AWS + Kubernetes + production ops)

Role Summary: We are looking for an experienced Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to own reliability, scalability, automation, and operational excellence for cloud-native platforms running on AWS and Kubernetes (EKS). You will build and operate CI/CD pipelines, standardize infrastructure provisioning, implement monitoring/alerting, drive incident response, and partner with architects and engineering teams to deliver secure, cost- efficient, highly available systems.

Key Responsibilities:

Reliability & Operations (SRE Core)

• Own availability, latency, performance, and capacity for production workloads.
• Define and track SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, and reliability KPIs.
• Improve MTTR through automation, runbooks, and self-healing patterns.
• Operate and evolve AWS EKS clusters (multi-namespace, multi-env).
• Manage deployments using Helm/Kustomize, and enable safe rollouts (blue/green, canary).

CI/CD & Release Engineering

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions / Jenkins / GitLab CI (based on org standard).
• Container build & security scanning workflows (SAST/DAST/image scanning) and SBOM where required.
• Promote “everything in Git” culture: infra/app configs + deployment manifests. Infrastructure as
• Provision cloud infra using Terraform / CloudFormation / CDK (as applicable).
• Manage multi-account AWS access patterns (dedicated Dev accounts, IAM roles, federation/SSO).
• Implement cost controls: tagging standards, budgeting alerts, right-sizing, savings plans guidance.

Observability (Monitoring, Logging, Tracing)

• Own observability stack: Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Alertmanager.
• Implement metrics and dashboards for K8s cluster health + application SLIs.
• Enable distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry / X-Ray / Jaeger) where needed.

Security & Governance (DevSecOps)

• Implement edge and app protection using AWS WAF / CloudFront, and coordinate rollout safely.
• Enforce least privilege IAM, secrets handling, KMS encryption, secure networking.
• Support vulnerability remediation (CVEs), patching processes, and audit readiness.
• Partner with Engineering + Architecture to review designs and keep solutions simple.
• Create/maintain runbooks, SOPs, onboarding guides, and deployment standards.
• Raise infra requests and coordinate with platform/GT teams to ensure timely provisioning.

Must-Have Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with AWS (EKS, EC2, IAM, VPC, ALB/NLB, CloudWatch, S3, RDS).
• Deep experience managing Kubernetes in production, preferably EKS.
• Strong CI/CD ownership: pipelines, environments, release controls, rollback strategies.
• Observability experience: Prometheus + Grafana, alerting, dashboards, incident response.
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (preferred) or CloudFormation/CDK.
• Solid Linux + networking fundamentals (DNS, TLS, load balancing, routing).

Good-to-Have Skills

• GitOps tools: Argo CD / Flux.
• Experience with WAF tuning, bot rules, rate limiting, and safe production rollout.
• PostgreSQL/MySQL operations basics (performance, monitoring, connection pooling).
• Experience with high-volume ingestion/data pipelines is a plus.
