Site Reliability Engineer

Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)

We are hiring a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to support the night-time operations of a mission-critical banking platform for a US-based enterprise client. This is a permanent night shift role tailored for experienced engineers who thrive in production environments and bring a proactive approach to incident resolution and automation.

You will work on system monitoring, incident response, and platform stability-while also improving observability, creating automation scripts, and collaborating with developers and DevOps teams. You wont just respond to alerts-youll help prevent them.

Work Mode : Permanent Night Shift

Note : This is a fixed night shift role. Candidates must have prior experience or explicitly confirm readiness for permanent US-time zone shifts.

Key Responsibilities :

• Monitor system health, SLIs / SLOs, and infrastructure using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Stackdriver, etc.
• Lead incident triage for P1 / P2 alerts, engage in war rooms, update tickets (JIRA / SNOW), and participate in post-incident RCA documentation.
• Create or enhance automation scripts (Bash / Python) for log ingestion, alert suppression, auto-recovery, and health checks.
• Analyze application runtime issues-such as JVM logs, memory usage, GC pauses, or thread deadlocks-to support root cause analysis.
• Participate in daily DevOps / SRE standups, collaborating closely with engineering teams to improve production reliability.
• Handle database performance alerts (Oracle / Postgres) and collaborate with DBAs or developers to resolve backend bottlenecks.
• Track and interpret SLO breaches, availability metrics, and system latencies to enforce production SLAs.
