Senior Software Development Engineer

📋 Description • Architect, standardize and govern infrastructure-as-code across JioHotstar’s multi-cloud, multi-region footprint (AWS, GCP, on-prem) so that every service—from live-streaming micro-services to ad-serving pipelines—deploys with the same reliability, security and observability guarantees used during the IPL finals or a global movie premiere. • Design and maintain reusable Terraform modules, Helm charts and Python libraries that abstract the complexity of VPCs, IAM, EKS/GKE, storage classes, ingress controllers and autoscaling policies, enabling 200+ engineering squads to ship features without ever touching raw cloud APIs. • Own capacity planning and cost-optimization end-to-end: build predictive models that ingest real-time traffic, CDN logs and business calendars to pre-warm clusters before marquee events, then automatically scale back down to save millions in cloud spend. • Champion a culture of reliability by defining SLOs, error budgets and chaos-engineering playbooks; run game-days that simulate region loss, AZ failure or sudden 10× traffic spikes and ensure the platform recovers in < 90 seconds without customer impact. • Evaluate bleeding-edge platform technologies—service meshes, eBPF-based observability, confidential computing—and run controlled pilots that prove ROI before rolling them out org-wide. • Act as the final escalation point for critical incidents, performing deep Linux-level debugging (tcpdump, eBPF, strace, cgroups) and post-mortems that turn outages into systemic fixes and runbooks. • Partner with security, compliance and finance teams to codify guardrails (OPA policies, SCPs, budget alerts) that prevent misconfigurations while still giving developers the autonomy to move fast. • Mentor senior and staff engineers, conduct architecture reviews and run internal guilds that raise the bar for code quality, documentation and operational excellence across the company. • Influence the long-term technical roadmap by presenting data-driven proposals to the CTO and VPs, ensuring infrastructure investments align with JioStar’s ambition to reach 1 billion weekly viewers. 🎯 Requirements • 4-8 years building and operating large-scale, multi-account cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP with deep expertise in Kubernetes, Terraform and Python. • Proven track record of designing highly-available, low-latency systems that serve > 1 million concurrent users or 10 Gbps+ sustained traffic. • Strong Linux internals and networking fundamentals—TCP/IP, HTTP/2, gRPC, load-balancing, iptables, kernel tuning—and the ability to debug live production issues under pressure. • Experience codifying security, compliance and cost controls into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure modules. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to author crisp design docs and present to both engineers and executives. • B.Tech/B.E or Masters in Computer Science or related field from a reputed institution. 🏖️ Benefits • Competitive compensation plus annual performance bonus and equity in one of the world’s fastest-growing media-tech companies. • Premium health insurance for you and your dependents, including mental-wellness and tele-medicine programs. • Flexible leave policy, quarterly recharge weeks and the option to work from anywhere for up to 30 days a year. • Annual learning stipend, global conference passes and dedicated time for open-source contributions.
