Site reliability engineer

Job DescriptionExp : 4- 10 Years Location : Chennai Work Mode: Hybrid (2 days Office)We are looking for a Site Reliability Engineer (SREs) who will lead the Site Reliability Engineering(SRE) side of each of our products. This position is responsible for making technical decisions, collaborating with development teams and platform engineers, and building and operating highly reliable and scalable products.The SREs mission is to design, build, and operate highly reliable systems that support stable business growth. Specifically, SREs quantitatively measure and manage system reliability, achieving appropriate risk balance through SLI/SLOs. By automating operations to reduce human error, responding quickly to incidents, conducting root cause analysis, and driving continuous improvement, SREs enhance service resilience. Through these efforts, SREs cultivate a culture within the organization that blends engineering and operational best practices.Expected RoleIn this role, you will act as a leader who identifies technical challenges within development teams, proactively plans solutions, and drives projects to resolution. By closely collaborating with developers and platform engineers, you will promote continuous improvements, ensuring that products remain resilient, scalable, and aligned with business objectives.Key Responsibilities1. Service Reliability & Scalability Design, build, and maintain highly available and scalable production services Define and implement Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs) to measure system reliability and performanceAnalyze and improve system bottlenecks and conduct capacity planning2. Incident ManagementLead incident response efforts to mitigate and resolve production issues quicklyConduct postmortems and root cause analyses to prevent recurrenceContinuously improve the incident management process and optimize on-call operations3. Automation & Operational EfficiencyAutomate operational tasks using Infrastructure as Code (Ia C) tools such as TerraformImplement self-healing and auto-scaling mechanisms for infrastructure componentsOptimize deployment pipelines and CI/CD workflows to improve release efficiency and rollback capabilities4. Observability & MonitoringDesign and implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and tracing strategies using tools like Open Telemetry, Grafana, Prometheus, and DatadogOptimize alerting mechanisms to reduce noise and improve actionable insightsContinuously enhance system visibility and root cause analysis capabilities5. Leading the SRECollaborate with development teams to identify and resolve operational and reliability-related technical challengesDefine and execute reliability strategies as an SREsAct as a technical advisor on SRE methodologies within the organization6.
