Senior Platform Site Reliability Engineer

KPMG is one of the world’s leading professional services firms and the fastest growing Big Four accounting firm

About The Job:

• We are hiring two Senior Platform Site Reliability Engineers for the L7 BAU team within PR&D.
• This is a deep platform and performance-engineering role — owning production Kubernetes, AWS infrastructure, and the reliability of LLM-backed and agentic services in a regulated environment.
• It goes well beyond standard SRE: we are looking for an engineer who tunes clusters, diagnoses memory and runtime behaviour, and operates AI platform workloads at production scale.
• EXPERIENCE : 6–10 yrs

Qualifications:

Mandatory Skills

• Deep AWS expertise — End-to-end production deployment on AWS is a must — EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, IAM, RDS, API Gateway, VPC, EFS, SNS, SQS, EventBridge, CodeBuild.
• Kubernetes (deep & mandatory) — Production EKS ownership — cluster configuration (CPU/RAM sizing, node groups, autoscaling), workload fine-tuning (requests/limits, HPA/VPA, eviction policies), and hands-on Helm chart management.
• Memory expertise — Container vs. runtime memory models, OOMKill diagnosis, cgroup behaviour, JVM/Python heap tuning, and database buffer-pool configuration.
• Serverless fine-tuning — Lambda memory/concurrency/cold-start optimization, ECS/Fargate task sizing, and serverless cost-performance tradeoffs.
• Database operations — Running and tuning RDS or equivalent in production; StatefulSet-based DB deployments in K8s a strong plus.
• AI platform & MCP environment — Hands-on deployment or operation of LLM-backed services, MCP servers, or agentic pipelines on cloud infrastructure.

Core Requirements

• 5–10 years in software development, DevOps, SRE or production support roles.
• Working knowledge of GCP and/or Azure — multi-cloud integrations, platform differences, hybrid workloads.
• CI/CD with GitHub Actions, Jenkins or GitLab.
• Scripting proficiency in Python and/or Bash; YAML fluency.
• Terraform and/or CloudFormation for infrastructure provisioning.
• ITIL framework across Incident, Change, Problem and CAPA management.
• Monitoring with Splunk and/or Grafana — including infra-level resource and memory dashboards.
• ServiceNow and JIRA; strong ITSM discipline.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

• React, GraphQL and REST API development background.
• Vector databases, LLM gateways or agent orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, etc.).
• eBPF-based observability tools (Pixie, Cilium, Hubble) for deep cluster introspection.
• Regulated industry experience (GxP, SOX or similar).

• EXPERIENCE: 6–10 yrs
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 5–10 years in software development, DevOps, SRE or production support roles.
