Site Reliability Engineer

SINGAPORE EXCHANGE LIMITED; Singapore; On-site; SGD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Singapore Exchange Limited is seeking Site Reliability Engineers who treat operations as a software problem. You will keep production healthy and build automation and agentic workflows that make running our systems boring and predictable.

This is an engineering role with a high bar for reliability, security, and operational rigor in a regulated capital-markets environment. You will own production reliability and partner with product engineers on release readiness.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in SRE or infra engineering.
• Production coding in a modern language (Go, Python, Kotlin, TypeScript, Rust).
• Experience orchestrating agents for ops workflows.
• Hands-on with Kubernetes, IaC (Terraform or equivalent), CI/CD, and observability stacks.
• Production cloud experience (GCP preferred, AWS acceptable).
• Comfort working in regulated environments.

Responsibilities

• Own production reliability (SLOs, capacity, incident response, postmortems) and turn incidents into durable fixes in code or automation.
• Build the platform and tooling to make services easy to deploy, observe, and operate: CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, observability stacks, runbooks-as-code.
• Apply AI agentically across operations (triage, root-cause analysis, remediation, change review).
• Design and integrate the systems underneath our services: messaging (e.g. Kafka), orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes).
• Partner with product engineers on release readiness, rollout strategy, and production hardening before things ship.
• Continuously reduce toil: measure it, attack it with code, and raise the floor on maintainability.

Job description

SGX is hiring Site Reliability Engineers who treat operations as a software problem. You'll keep production healthy, but more importantly you'll build the automation, tooling, and agentic workflows that make running our systems boring and predictable. This is an engineering role - if your instinct on a recurring issue is to write code that removes it, you'll fit in well.

We operate in a regulated capital-markets environment, so the bar for reliability, security, and operational rigor is high.

What You'll Do

• Own production reliability (SLOs, capacity, incident response, postmortems) and turn every incident into a durable fix in code or automation
• Build the platform and tooling that make services easy to deploy, observe, and operate: CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, observability stacks, runbooks-as-code
• Apply AI agentically across operations (triage, root-cause analysis, remediation, change review) and contribute to our internal agentic ecosystem
• Design and integrate the systems underneath our services: messaging (e.g. Kafka), orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes), and performance-sensitive infrastructure
• Partner with product engineers on release readiness, rollout strategy, and production hardening before things ship
• Continuously reduce toil: measure it, attack it with code, and raise the floor on what "easy to maintain" means here

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineering, with a clear track record of replacing manual work with code
• Strong programming ability in at least one modern language (e.g. Go, Python, Kotlin, TypeScript, Rust, etc),you write production code, not just glue scripts
• AI-native ways of working: real experience orchestrating agents for ops workflows, not just using AI for autocomplete
• Deep hands-on with Kubernetes, IaC (Terraform or equivalent), CI/CD, and modern observability (metrics, logs, traces)
• Production experience on a major cloud: GCP preferred, AWS acceptable
• Solid foundations in distributed systems and the failure modes that matter in production
• Incident-response maturity: calm under pressure, sharp on root cause, disciplined about follow-through
• Comfort in complex, regulated environments

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with the FIX protocol or capital-markets domain
• Experience building internal developer platforms or self-service tooling consumed by other engineers
