Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

Location: Chennai

Department: Engineering / Infrastructure

About the Role

At ospectra we treat operations as a software problem. As a Junior Site Reliability Engineer, you will work closely with our senior SREs and software development teams to keep our production systems highly available, scalable, and secure.

This is a high-growth role designed for an early-career engineer who is passionate about infrastructure, automation, and problem-solving. You won’t just be fixing things when they break; you’ll be helping us build resilient systems so they don’t break in the first place.

What You'll Do (Responsibilities)

Monitor & Alert: Keep a watchful eye on system health using tools like [Prometheus / Datadog / Grafana]. You will help tune alerts to reduce fatigue and ensure we only wake up for real emergencies.

- Incident Response: Serve as an early responder for system issues. You'll help troubleshoot, mitigate downtime, and participate in blameless post-mortems to ensure we learn from every outage.
- Automate Everything: Write scripts in [Python / Bash / Go] to automate manual, repetitive toil so the team can focus on higher-value engineering work.
- Maintain Infrastructure: Assist in provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure on [AWS / GCP / Azure] using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like [Terraform / Ansible].
- Support CI/CD:



Help maintain deployment pipelines (e.g., [GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins]) to ensure developers can ship code quickly and safely.
- Documentation: Write and update runbooks, system documentation, and architecture diagrams so the whole team can share knowledge effectively.

What We’re Looking For (Requirements)

Education/Experience: B.S. in Computer Science, IT, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on experience/bootcamp completion).

- OS Fundamentals: Solid understanding of Linux/Unix environments and command-line utilities.
- Scripting Skills: Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (Python, Bash, Go, or Ruby).
- Networking Basics: A foundational understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, Load Balancing).
- Curiosity & Communication: A strong desire to learn complex systems, ask valuable questions, and collaborate across engineering teams.

Nice to Haves (Not Required, But a Plus)

- Cloud Exposure: Familiarity with deploying applications to AWS, GCP, or Azure.

- Containers: Basic understanding of Docker and container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS).
- Version Control: Experience using Git and collaborative workflows (Pull Requests, code reviews).
- On-Call Experience: Previous experience participating in an on-call rotation.
