Hiring: Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) | Hyderabad

We’re hiring on behalf of a global SaaS product company that is building its Site Reliability Engineering presence in India. This is the first SRE hire in India, with real ownership of production and a chance to shape the team as it grows.

About the role

You’ll join a global Platform Engineering team operating a multi-product, multi-region cloud platform. This is a production ownership role, not a ticket-based support role. You’ll own the reliability, availability, and performance of SaaS products used by customers worldwide.

What you’ll do

- Improve and maintain the reliability and availability of SaaS products, and lead reliability projects
- Lead incident response, restoring service quickly with sound, risk-aware decisions
- Diagnose and resolve complex production issues across infrastructure, platform, and application runtime
- Lead RCAs and blameless post-mortems, and follow actions through to completion
- Define and implement SLIs/SLOs, with monitoring and alerting that is actionable
- Reduce operational toil through automation and better system design, with measurable results




- Partner with product engineering teams so software is observable and operable in production
- Contribute to platform cost efficiency
- Mentor engineers and raise engineering practice through pairing and code reviews
- Participate in a globally shared, compensated on-call rotation, designed to minimise inconvenient hours

What we’re looking for

- 6+ years in SRE, Platform, or Software Engineering roles
- Hands-on production ownership of Kubernetes (AKS) cluster operations
- Robust experience with Microsoft Azure and cloud-native/PaaS services
- Terraform (Infrastructure as Code)
- Observability and alerting tools such as Datadog
- CI/CD tooling such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or Octopus Deploy
- Proficiency in at least one programming/scripting language (Python, PowerShell, Bash, C#, Java, or TypeScript)
- Experience with systems under high or unpredictable load
- On-call and incident leadership experience
- Background in product or SaaS companies, with end-to-end production ownership

Working model

- Hyderabad-based, primarily IST, with some overlap with Australia and UK teams
- Reports into Platform Engineering leadership in Hyderabad, with global collaboration
