We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join our team, working on a hybrid basis from our Patiala office and from home. In this role you will be a key member of our Engineering function, contributing directly to our goals and working closely with talented colleagues across the business.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership and impact.

Within your first few months, you will get up to speed with our products, processes and people, build strong working relationships across the team, and begin taking ownership of your own work. Over time, you will have the opportunity to deepen your expertise, take on broader scope and grow your career with us as the company continues to scale.
In return, we offer a supportive, inclusive and collaborative environment, competitive pay, meaningful benefits and the chance to do work that genuinely matters. We care about our people, invest in their growth and want everyone here to be able to do the best work of their careers.
