About the role

At Freshworks, uptime is sacred.

Define SLIs/SLOs, manage error budgets, and drive performance engineering efforts.
Build and maintain automated monitoring, alerting, and remediation pipelines.
Collaborate with engineering teams to improve reliability by design.
Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and blameless postmortems.
Champion observability across services—logs, metrics, traces.
Contribute to infrastructure architecture, automation, and reliability roadmaps.
Advocate for SRE best practices across teams and functions.
Requirements
7–12 years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or Production Engineering roles.

Security & Compliance: Understand security best practices and compliance in infrastructure.
High Availability & Scalability: Design and implement highly available, scalable, and resilient distributed systems.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation: Proficient in IaC tools and automating infrastructure provisioning and management.
Disaster Recovery (DR) & High Availability (HA): Deep knowledge and practical experience with various DR and HA strategies.
Observability: Implement and utilize monitoring, logging, and tracing tools for system health.
System Design (Distributed Systems): Design complex distributed systems with a focus on reliability and operations.
Problem-Solving & Troubleshooting: Excellent analytical and diagnostic skills for resolving complex system issues.
Qualifications :
Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
Experience building and scaling services in production with high uptime targets (99.99%+).
Clear track record of reducing incident frequency and improving response metrics (MTTD/MTTR).
Strong communicator who thrives in high-pressure environments.
Passionate about automation, chaos engineering, and making things just work.
