About the role

Senior individual-contributor SRE role in India focusing on real-time incident leadership, automation, observability, and AI-assisted tooling to raise reliability across NVIDIA's AI-powered enterprise platforms. Incidents leadership (Incident Commander) across teams, mentoring, and defining reliability practices.

Responsibilities

  • Lead major incidents end to end — driving triage, cross-team coordination, decision making, and executive communication across global time zones.
  • Set technical direction for SRE initiatives that improve reliability, scalability, and developer efficiency across NVIDIA's enterprise systems, and drive them to adoption beyond your immediate team.
  • Design, build, and operate distributed systems — including Kubernetes-based and cloud-native infrastructure — that power NVIDIA's AI-powered enterprise products and services.
  • Build automation for incident detection, triage, communication, and remediation, replacing manual runbooks with self-healing systems.
  • Improve observability and signal quality to enable earlier detection, reduce alert noise, and eliminate reliance on user-reported issues.
  • Drive root cause analysis and translate learnings into systemic fixes, automation, and prevention mechanisms; raise the bar on post-incident review quality across the org.
  • Apply AI and data-driven techniques — LLMs, anomaly detection, signal correlation — to enhance incident triage, summarisation, and decision support.
  • Champion AI-assisted engineering practices, including coding agents and LLM-powered tooling, to accelerate day-to-day engineering workflows.
  • Partner with Cloud, Platform, Security, and AI/ML teams to embed SRE best practices, define SLOs and error budgets, and influence architecture early in the design cycle.
  • Mentor engineers, raise engineering standards through design and code review, and help build a strong reliability culture in the India organisation.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Production Engineering, Platform Engineering, or Incident Management roles, with a track record of technical leadership at scale.
  • BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Proven experience acting as an Incident Commander or leading major incident response in complex, high-availability environments.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, monitoring, and reliability engineering principles — SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, capacity planning, and graceful degradation.
  • Strong proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Go, Java) to build production-grade automation and tooling.
  • Hands-on expertise with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Solid experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g., Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation) and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strong Linux/Unix and networking fundamentals, plus expertise in observability tooling such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana.
  • Working knowledge of relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) — SQL, indexing, and query optimisation.
  • Experience or familiarity with AI/ML concepts (e.g., LLMs, anomaly detection, or data-driven operations) applied to operational workflows.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to brief executives during high-pressure incidents and influence senior technical stakeholders.
