Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

Reliability & Availability

• Lead incident response, conduct RCAs and ensure action items are tracked to closure
• Build and maintain runbooks, playbooks and escalation frameworks for proactive and reactive response
• Drive toil reduction by identifying repetitive operational work and engineering it away

Observability

• Design and own the full observability stack — metrics, logs, traces and events — using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Dynatrace or similar
• Build intelligent alerting that reduces noise, eliminates alert fatigue and surfaces actionable signals
• Implement distributed tracing and dependency mapping to provide end-to-end visibility across microservices
• Drive adoption of continuous profiling and real user monitoring (RUM) for proactive performance management

AI Adoption in SRE

• Leverage AIOps platforms to enable anomaly detection, predictive alerting and automated root cause analysis
• Implement AI-assisted incident triage — using LLM-powered tools to summarise incidents, suggest fixes and accelerate MTTR
• Build and maintain ML-powered capacity forecasting models to optimise infrastructure spend and prevent resource saturation

Security & Vulnerability Management

• Embed security-as-reliability principles — treating security incidents with the same urgency as availability incidents
• Own issue remediations across infrastructure (OS, containers, dependencies)
• Integrate SAST, DAST and SCA tools into CI/CD pipelines to shift security left

Infrastructure & Platform Engineering

• Design, build and maintain cloud-native infrastructure on AWS using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi) & drive rightsizing, reserved capacity planning and cost anomaly detection
• Own Kubernetes cluster operations — autoscaling, resource management, networking and upgrade strategy

Leadership & Culture

• Mentor and guide junior and mid-level SREs — conducting technical reviews and pair debugging sessions
• Define and evolve SRE team standards, best practices and engineering principles
• Collaborate closely with product, development and security teams as an embedded reliability partner
• Contribute to on-call rotation and drive continuous improvement of on-call experience
• Represent SRE in architecture reviews, sprint planning and cross-functional forums

The Competitive Edge

AEM Administration 

• Own end-to-end reliability and availability of AEM environments — Author, Publish, Dispatcher and AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) — across dev, staging and production
• Monitor and manage AEM instance health, optimise Dispatchers, Manage DAM, OSGi Configurations, replication queues.

Exposure to CDN 

• Experience with Cloudflare - CDN, Workers

Qualifications

B.E/B.Tech/M.Tech/MCA in Computers, IT, EC, telecommunications or other related streams with minimum 7+ years of working experience with following skills:

• Strong understanding of cloud-based web architecture and enterprise-level systems, including Apache configuration, rewrite rules, redirects, regular expressions, reverse proxies, restrictive forward proxies, and Apache Mod Proxy configuration, tuning, and optimization.
• Hands-on experience with SSL certificate configuration, TLS, cipher suites, security hardening, and best practices.
• Experience with domain management, network configuration, DNS routing, subnets, zone management, and troubleshooting.
• Experience in vulnerability management and remediation, including the ability to analyze penetration test and vulnerability assessment reports and implement appropriate mitigation strategies.
• Experience with Global Traffic Management (GTM), Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), and network services such as Akamai and Cloudflare.
• Experience managing technology vendors, software licenses, support contracts, and third-party service providers.
• 5–7 years of experience working with Java/J2EE frameworks.
• Experience with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) tools such as Jenkins.
• Experience with cloud-native applications and services, including AWS, Lambda, RDS, and Microsoft Azure.
• Experience with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) or other enterprise content management systems; AEM experience is preferred.
• Good understanding of designing and developing RESTful APIs and SOAP-based web services.
• Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as New Relic, Grafana, and Datadog; knowledge of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) concepts is a plus.
• Experience in scripting and automation using Python, Shell scripting, or similar technologies to improve operational efficiency and reduce manual effort.
