Invest yourself in the alternative, and join an organization where you progress on merit, where you can speak openly with whoever you are speaking to, and where you will be supported along whichever path you choose to take.\nFind out more about life at Alter Domus at careers.alterdomus.com\nSite Reliability Engineer\nLocation: Hyderabad\nWorking Hours: Pacific Time (PST/PDT), aligned with US West Coast\nAbout the Role\nWe are growing our Site Reliability Engineering team with a Senior Officer, Site Reliability Engineer who will help make the cloud platforms behind our products measurably more reliable. Our SRE team brings together engineers who care about instrumentation, incident response and the health of production systems, all working toward a common mission: giving product and engineering teams the observability, guardrails and operational practices they need to run their services with confidence.\nThis role is for an SRE who comes from a cloud and platform engineering background. You will spend your time where reliability meets infrastructure: operating Kubernetes clusters (EKS and AKS) and the workloads on them, managing cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure through Terraform, and building the observability and automation that keep it all healthy. Expect to work on autoscaling and capacity, cluster and cloud networking, resilience and failover, cost and performance tuning, and the automation that removes repetitive operational work, then prove the results with SLOs rather than assertions.\nOur platform runs around the clock and so does the team behind it. On-call coverage moves naturally across time zones as the day progresses. This position anchors the US West Coast (PST/PDT) window of that follow-the-sun rotation, and as part of it you should expect to step in on weekends from time to time.\nThis is a strong fit for an experienced individual contributor who enjoys hands-on infrastructure work, both building and running it, and wants to deepen their expertise in site reliability engineering within a regulated financial services environment.\nOn-Call & Coverage Expectations\nOn-call is a core, ongoing part of this role and not an occasional add-on. Please read this section carefully before applying.\nYour standard working hours align with Pacific Time (PST/PDT) and cover the US West Coast business day from our Hyderabad office.\nYou will take part in a shared on-call rotation with the wider SRE team, following a follow-the-sun model in which coverage hands over between regions as each working day ends.\nWhile on rotation you are expected to be reachable, to acknowledge and respond to pages within the agreed response targets, and to drive or support incidents through to resolution and handover.\nWeekend and public holiday coverage is part of the rotation and comes around periodically; you should expect to step in from time to time.\nEscalation and paging run through PagerDuty. You will help keep escalation policies, schedules and alert routing accurate and low-noise.\nAfter significant incidents you will take part in blameless postmortems and follow through on the resulting action items.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild: Observability, Automation & Reliability Tooling\nBuild and maintain the observability stack that the organization relies on: OpenTelemetry collectors and pipelines, Prometheus-based metrics, and Grafana dashboards for platform and workload health.\nDefine and implement SLIs, SLOs and error budgets for platform services, and make burn-rate alerting the basis of paging where it fits.\nImprove alert quality: remove duplicate and low-value alerts, tighten thresholds, add runbook links and make sure every page is actionable.\nBuild and maintain PagerDuty integrations, services, escalation policies and schedules so that alerts reach the right people with the right context.\nBuild and maintain infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform) so that reliability controls, monitoring and environments are provisioned consistently and repeatably.\nMaintain GitOps-based deployment workflows using tools such as Helm, Flux or ArgoCD, and keep reliability configuration versioned alongside the platform it describes.\nWrite code and automation (e.g., Python, Go, Bash) to reduce toil, automate recurring operational tasks and remove manual steps from routine platform work.\nUse AI-assisted tools (e.g., coding assistants, infrastructure and incident copilots) in your own day-to-day work and help other engineers adopt AI tooling effectively.\nOperate: Incident Response & Production Ownership\nMonitor platform health, respond to incidents and take part in our on-call rotation, including occasional weekend coverage.\nAct as incident responder and, where needed, incident commander: triage, coordinate responders, communicate status and drive to mitigation.\nDebug production issues across the platform, including node and pod-level failures, scheduling and eviction problems, resource saturation, ingress and DNS issues, certificate expiry, and degraded cloud services.\nOperate and tune our EKS and AKS clusters, including autoscaling (Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler, KEDA/HPA) and cluster networking (CNI, ingress, workload identity).\nRun blameless postmortems, identify contributing causes and track corrective actions to completion.\nSupport disaster recovery efforts, including backup and restore testing and failover exercises, to validate platform resilience.\nContribute to capacity planning, cost optimization and performance tuning across cloud environments.\nHelp maintain security and compliance controls across the platform (access management, network security, audit evidence, policy-as-code) in line with financial services requirements.\nEngineering: Resilience & Platform Hardening\nDesign for failure: multi-AZ and multi-region posture, pod disruption budgets, graceful degradation, safe rollout and rollback patterns.\nReview infrastructure and deployment changes from a reliability standpoint, and raise the bar on defaults, quotas, limits and guardrails.\nIdentify recurring sources of instability and toil, and drive systemic fixes rather than repeated manual intervention.\nMake platform reliability visible: capacity headroom, saturation, error budgets and cost per workload.\nCollaboration & Continuous Improvement\nPartner with product engineering teams to understand their services, their failure modes and their reliability goals, and translate those into SLOs and operational practice.\nPartner with the Cloud Platform and DevEx teams so that observability and reliability tooling is available as a self-service golden path rather than a bespoke effort per team.\nHelp engineers across the organization onboard to our reliability tooling, troubleshoot issues, get support when needed and review their infrastructure and observability-related PRs.\nContribute to internal documentation, runbooks and best practices for reliability and incident response.\nWhat You Bring\nRequired Skills\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.\n4+ years of professional experience in site reliability engineering, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, or a closely related technical domain, including hands-on production ownership.\nHands-on experience running production workloads on Kubernetes, ideally EKS and/or AKS.\nHands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider, ideally AWS and/or Azure, across compute, storage, networking and identity.\nPractical experience with infrastructure-as-code tools, particularly Terraform.\nHands-on experience with OpenTelemetry (collectors, pipelines, instrumentation) in a production environment.\nPractical experience with Grafana and Prometheus (PromQL, dashboards, recording and alerting rules).\nExperience with PagerDuty or an equivalent incident and on-call platform, including escalation policies and schedules.\nSolid grasp of core SRE concepts: SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, toil reduction, blameless postmortems, change and release safety.\nExperience with cluster autoscaling (Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler) and workload autoscaling (KEDA or HPA).\nWorking knowledge of Kubernetes networking (CNI plugins, ingress controllers) and workload identity (IRSA on EKS, Workload Identity on AKS).\nExperience with GitOps workflows and tools such as Helm, Flux, or ArgoCD for Kubernetes deployments.\nSolid scripting and automation skills (e.g., Python, Bash, Go), and comfort with Linux fundamentals and networking troubleshooting.\nComfort operating in a regulated environment, with an understanding of security and compliance fundamentals (access control, least privilege, audit logging).\nClear written and verbal communication in English, and the ability to stay calm and structured during incidents.\nWillingness and ability to work Pacific Time (PST/PDT) hours from Hyderabad and to take part in the on-call rotation described above, including occasional weekend coverage.\nNice to Have\nExperience with distributed tracing and log backends such as Grafana Tempo, Loki, Jaeger, Elastic or Splunk.\nExperience with policy-as-code tools such as Kyverno or OPA.\nHands-on experience with CI/CD tooling, particularly Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions.\nFamiliarity with an application stack (e.g., .NET, Java, Node.js, Python) sufficient to debug alongside product teams.\nExperience with chaos or resilience testing, and with load testing tools such as k6.\nExposure to multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud environments, and to serverless or event-driven workloads.\nFamiliarity with compliance frameworks relevant to financial services (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001).\nRelevant cloud or Kubernetes certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator, CKA, CKAD).\nWHAT WE OFFER\nWe are committed to supporting your development, advancing your career, and providing benefits that matter to you.\nOur industry-leading Alter Domus Academy offers six learning
