JOB TITLE: Associate Platform Engineer (SRE I) - India

JOB STATUS: Full time

DEPARTMENT: Platform Engineering

REPORTS TO: Vice President, IT, Information Security & Platform Engineering

SUMMARY

Amtech is scaling its Platform Engineering organization in India as our products move to a fully AWS-hosted, multi-tenant SaaS model. Our SRE practice keeps Encore, LabelTraxx, and supporting platforms reliable, observable, and secure across a multi-account AWS estate.

As an Associate Platform Engineer on the SRE track, you will learn reliability engineering by doing it: monitoring production services, executing runbooks, automating routine operations, and participating in incident response alongside senior engineers.

This is an early-career role designed for growth. You will pair with experienced SREs, receive structured mentorship, and build the foundation to progress through Amtech's engineering career ladder.

Monitoring & Reliability

Operate and tune monitoring, logging, and alerting for production services using our OpenTelemetry-based observability stack (OpenObserve, CloudWatch).

Track service-level indicators (SLIs) and objectives (SLOs); help maintain reliability dashboards and reports.

Assist with root cause analysis after incidents, documenting findings and follow-up actions.

Automation & Operations

Automate routine operational tasks with Python or Bash, and contribute to Terraform modules under review by senior engineers.

Support containerized and serverless workloads on ECS Fargate, EKS, and Lambda.

Support CI/CD workflows in GitHub Actions and assist with environment provisioning.

Create and maintain runbooks and operational playbooks.

Incident Response

Join the on-call rotation with senior backup, responding to PagerDuty alerts and executing documented recovery procedures.

Propose improvements that reduce mean time to detection (MTTD) and mean time to recovery (MTTR).

Security & Compliance





Apply IAM, secrets management, and least-privilege practices in production environments.

Follow Amtech's SOC 2, ISO 27001, and internal security policies, and help maintain audit evidence for the systems you operate.

AI Competency

Use AI-assisted engineering tools for scripting, documentation, and troubleshooting with review discipline: never apply unreviewed AI-generated changes to any environment.

Verify AI output before use: cross-check against sources, test before running, and understand every line you accept.

Follow Amtech's AI acceptable-use and data classification policy; know what data must never enter AI tools.

Collaboration & Learning

Learn from senior SREs through paired work, design reviews, and post-incident reviews.

Document lessons learned and contribute to internal knowledge bases.

QUALIFICATIONS

0-2 years of experience in SRE, DevOps, systems, or cloud engineering (internships and substantial personal or academic projects count).

Demonstrated ability to script in Python or Bash and to reason methodically through technical problems.

Foundational knowledge of AWS core services (EC2, S3, IAM, VPC) or equivalent cloud fundamentals.

Familiarity with Linux administration and basic networking (DNS, HTTP, TCP/IP).

Exposure to Git-based workflows (GitHub or similar).

Strong analytical and troubleshooting instincts; eager to learn from production systems.

Safe, effective use of AI assistants (coding copilots, chat tools), including a verification habit before accepting output.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent demonstrated skills.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner or Solutions Architect Associate.

Exposure to Terraform, Docker, or Kubernetes.

Understanding of SLO/SLI concepts and incident management workflows.

Experience with monitoring tools (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry-based stacks).
