Work Experience:

- 7+ years of experience in SRE, Performance Engineering, or Infrastructure Operations, preferably in Capital Markets.

- Mandatory experience in Exchange Connectivity, High-Volume Clearing, or high-throughput financial systems.

- Strong understanding of production infrastructure, capacity planning, application performance, and system reliability.

Key Responsibilities:

Capacity Planning:

- Forecast infrastructure requirements based on market volumes, business growth, and peak trading activity. Maintain adequate capacity headroom across DC and DR environments.

Infrastructure Performance:

- Drive infrastructure scaling, resource provisioning, performance tuning, and capacity optimization across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.

Monitoring & Observability:

- Implement end-to-end monitoring using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Kibana, Jaeger, or Datadog. Build real-time dashboards for engineering teams and management.

SLI / SLO Management:

- Define and track service availability, transaction processing time, latency, and other business-critical performance targets.

Performance Testing:

- Lead load, stress, and benchmarking exercises. Establish performance baselines and prevent latency or performance degradation across releases.

Proactive Monitoring:

- Implement anomaly detection and early warning mechanisms to identify performance issues and capacity constraints before they impact production.

Resilience & DR:

- Conduct failover testing, resilience assessments, and controlled failure simulations to validate system availability and recovery capabilities.

Automation:

- Automate repetitive operational activities using Python, Go, Shell, or similar tools to improve operational efficiency.

Incident Management:

- Drive RCA, blameless post-mortems, and continuous improvements in system stability, monitoring, and capacity management.

Governance & Team Development:

- Strengthen internal SRE capabilities, reduce vendor dependency, maintain audit-ready operational records, and ensure compliance with applicable SEBI requirements.

Preferred Skills & Technical Expertise:

- Hands-on expertise in Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Kibana, Datadog, or other APM tools.

- Strong scripting and automation skills in Python, Go, or Shell.

- Good knowledge of Linux, servers, databases, networking, and application architecture.

- Experience in capacity planning, performance engineering, load testing, and production support.

- Understanding of high availability, disaster recovery, and business continuity.

- Knowledge of ITSM processes and regulatory compliance requirements in financial markets.
