We're looking for a hands-on SRE/ DevOps leader to build our India DevOps team from scratch. You'll own the cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes-based platforms, partnering with development, security, and operations to keep systems scalable, reliable, secure, and efficient. You'll also champion AI-assisted engineering across infrastructure, SRE, and cost management.

This is a ground-floor opportunity: you'll hire the team, set the standards, and shape how DevOps operates in India.

What You'll Own:

Building, mentoring, and scaling the India DevOps/SRE team from the ground up

Introducing new initiatives, tooling, and ways of working that raise reliability and delivery speed.

Cloud strategy across AWS and Azure, with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CDK)

Production Kubernetes (EKS), Istio service mesh, and GitOps with ArgoCD

CI/CD standards across GitHub Actions and Jenkins, plus container security

Observability, incident response, RCAs, and on-call culture

Cloud cost optimization, architecture reviews, and DevSecOps practices

Guardrails and adoption of AI-assisted DevOps tooling.





What you bring:

12+ years in DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure, with proven experience building and scaling teams

A hands-on leader who stays close to the technology, not a managerial-only profile

A track record of introducing new initiatives and driving them to adoption

Deep AWS expertise (networking, IAM, Route 53, load balancers); Azure experience

Robust Kubernetes/EKS, ArgoCD, and Istio experience in production

Terraform and/or AWS CDK; robust Docker and container registry practices

CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Jenkins

Linux and Windows Server administration; scripting in Bash or Python

Hands-on use of AI tools (Claude, Kiro or similar) to improve delivery, reliability, or cost.

Bonus: AWS/Azure skilled certifications, Karpenter, Datadog/Grafana/Prometheus, internal developer platform experience, high-growth startup background.
