SRE Architect

Overview:

ROLE PURPOSE

The SRE Architect owns the reliability, security, and operational excellence of the Autonomous Operations platform. This

role defines and enforces the engineering discipline that keeps Prodapt's AI-native products running at enterprise scale -

designing systems for high availability and resilience, establishing the observability fabric that makes failures visible, and

governing the security posture that makes customers trust the platform. They are the last line of defence between a great

product and a production incident.

Responsibilities:

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

Define the platform SRE, DevSecOps, and security strategy - spanning architecture, toolchain selection, and

operational standards.

Design for high availability, scalability, resilience, and disaster recovery across all platform tiers and deployment

regions.

Establish observability, monitoring, logging, and incident management - own the full telemetry stack from

instrumentation to alerting to post-mortems.

Govern security architecture, IAM, secrets management, and compliance - ensure the platform meets SOC 2, ISO

27001, and customer-specific security requirements.

Define CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation (IaC), and operational runbooks; drive adoption of GitOps and policyas-code practices.

Drive performance engineering and capacity planning; own SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets across all platform services.

Partner with the Technical Architect and FDE leads to embed reliability and security earlier in the development lifecycle

(shift-left).

Lead incident response, blameless post-mortems, and reliability reviews; translate learnings into platform

improvements

Requirements:

MUST-HAVE SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

12+ years in SRE, Platform Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure, or Cloud Security roles at enterprise or hyperscale scale.

Expert-level Kubernetes: multi-cluster operations, operator patterns, network policies, pod security, and cluster

hardening.

Deep cloud-native expertise across AWS, Azure, or GCP: VPC design, IAM, KMS, secrets management (Vault/AWS

Secrets Manager), and cloud security posture management.

Strong DevSecOps practice: SAST/DAST tooling, container image scanning, SBOM, supply chain security, and secure

CI/CD pipeline design.

Observability stack mastery: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing (Jaeger/Tempo), log

aggregation (ELK/Loki), and AIOps-ready alerting.

Infrastructure-as-Code proficiency: Terraform, Pulumi, or CDK; GitOps with ArgoCD or Flux; policy-as-code with

OPA/Kyverno.

Proven experience defining and operating SLOs, error budgets, and on-call practices in a high-stakes production

environment

NICE-TO-HAVE SKILLS

Experience operating AI/ML platforms at scale - GPU cluster management, model serving infrastructure (vLLM, Triton),

and LLM observability.

Compliance and audit experience: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, or telecom-specific security frameworks (NIST

CSF, ENISA).

Prodapt Solutions Pvt. Ltd. | Confidential Page 2 of 2

Chaos engineering practice: Chaos Monkey, LitmusChaos, or equivalent - running Game Days and failure injection

exercises.

Telecom infrastructure context: network function virtualisation (NFV), cloud-native network functions (CNF), or 5G core

platform operations.

MINDSET & BEHAVIOURS

Reliability-first - treats every architectural decision through the lens of what fails, how it fails, and how fast you recover.

Security-by-design - embeds security into the platform architecture, not bolted on post-deployment; champions zerotrust principles.

Data-driven operator - SLOs and error budgets are the language; makes reliability trade-offs with evidence, not intuition.

Platform enabler - builds systems and tooling that make every other engineer faster and safer; infrastructure as a

product.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

B.S. / M.S. in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or equivalent; CKS (Kubernetes Security), AWS Security

Specialty, or CISSP a strong plus.

Experience building and operating large-scale SaaS or enterprise products with 99.99%+ availability commitments.

Track record leading SRE or platform functions in a telecom, fintech, or cloud-native software company
