Operations Reliability Engineer – Cloud Infrastructure

Location: India
Level: P2 – Professional Track
Timezone: 2nd shift (local time)

Overview

As an Operations Reliability Engineer with a specialization in Cloud Infrastructure, you will support the reliability, stability, and operational health of enterprise cloud and compute environments. This role focuses primarily on AWS infrastructure, with supporting responsibility for Azure and Windows-based systems.

You will assist in incident detection, troubleshooting, patching, vulnerability remediation, and operational monitoring across AWS services, virtual machines, and Windows/Linux operating systems. In addition to hands-on support, you will contribute to improving monitoring accuracy, reducing alert noise, and enhancing the quality of operational data used across observability and AIOps platforms.

This role blends cloud operations with reliability practices, including event correlation, automated remediation validation, and participation in early automation efforts. You will collaborate across Cloud Engineering, Security, IAM, and Network teams to strengthen operational maturity and contribute to long-term automation and reliability initiatives.

Responsibilities

General Reliability Operations

Resolve cloud and OS-related incidents through hands-on troubleshooting, escalating complex issues to senior reliability engineers or cloud architects as needed.

Monitor cloud observability and event management platforms to identify anomalies, performance degradation, and emerging risks.

Perform incident triage and basic event correlation to determine probable cause and appropriate remediation.

Validate automated remediation workflows and identify recurring manual steps that may be candidates for future automation.

Participate in documenting runbooks, troubleshooting steps, and operational patterns used by automation and engineering teams.

Execute manual and automated patching and vulnerability remediation workflows, troubleshooting failed updates and validating remediation outcomes.

Suggest improvements to alert thresholds, noise-reduction logic, and correlation rules based on observed patterns.

Contribute operational data and timelines to post-incident reviews.

Collaborate with Cloud Engineering, Security, IAM, Network, and ServiceNow teams to support continuous operational improvement.

Ensure event, alert, and configuration data aligns with monitoring, governance, and CMDB standards.

Cloud & Windows Infrastructure Responsibilities

Troubleshoot AWS operational issues, including EC2 performance, storage behavior, network connectivity, IAM policy misconfigurations, and service-level degradation.

Perform OS-level diagnostics and remediation primarily on Windows Server environments, with supporting responsibilities across Linux systems.

Analyze telemetry from AWS CloudWatch, OS logs, and vulnerability management tools to identify trends and underlying issues.

Support patch management processes with a primary focus on Windows Server environments, while assisting with Linux patching and lifecycle management, ensuring compliance and remediation validation.

Assist with tagging compliance checks, IAM access troubleshooting, backup validation, and account hygiene activities.

Validate cloud configuration updates, patching workflows, and basic resilience or recovery tests with guidance from senior engineers.

Contribute to infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) improvements by validating modules, testing updates, and providing operational feedback.

Participate in cloud readiness activities for new services, infrastructure changes, or disaster recovery exercises.

Provide troubleshooting guidance and knowledge-sharing to junior team members or adjacent support teams, particularly within Windows Server administration best practices.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in IT or related field, or equivalent experience.

3+ years of experience in cloud operations, systems administration, or infrastructure support roles.

Hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, VPC, IAM, EBS, monitoring).

Familiarity with Azure cloud environments is a plus.

Working knowledge of Windows Server administration is a must; familiarity with Linux systems a plus.

Experience with cloud monitoring tools, OS log analysis, patching workflows, and vulnerability remediation processes.

Understanding of cloud governance basics including tagging standards, IAM access principles, backups, and cost awareness.

Ability to make light scripting updates (PowerShell, Python, YAML/JSON) to support operational tasks.

Solid troubleshooting and analytical skills with the ability to interpret telemetry and system logs.

Effective communication skills to collaborate across engineering and operations teams.

Motivation to develop deeper skills in automation, AIOps, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud reliability engineering.

Additional Information

Working Hours: This role follows second-shift local hours (3:00 PM – 12:00 PM IST) to provide operational overlap with US-based teams.

On-Call Support: Participation in a shared, rotational on-call schedule is required.
