Responsibilities

Design, build and manage production Kubernetes clusters on Amazon EKS using Terraform for infrastructure-as-code, and create reusable Terraform modules for networking, security, storage and observability that other FIS engineering teams consume. Implement GitOps and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins and GitHub Actions) plus automation tooling in Python and Bash, so that microservices ship to production with automated testing, image scanning and zero-downtime rollout. Apply Site Reliability Engineering practices end to end: define SLOs and error budgets, instrument services with Prometheus and Grafana, run blameless post-incident reviews, and introduce chaos-engineering experiments on non-production environments. Own infrastructure provisioning, version upgrades, scaling and cost optimisation across core AWS services — EC2, EKS, RDS, S3, IAM, VPC, ALB / NLB, KMS and Secrets Manager — with Ansible-driven configuration management for the remaining VM-based estate. Ensure security and regulatory compliance for a financial-services workload: IAM least-privilege, secrets management and rotation, encryption in transit and at rest, and full audit trails suitable for fintech change-control reviews. Collaborate with development teams on containerised microservices and hybrid / multi-cloud migrations (AWS primary, with Azure and GCP exposure), and mentor engineers on Terraform state management, Kubernetes security and observability best practices.

Requirements & qualifications

5-10 years of cloud / DevOps / SRE experience, with strong hands-on Kubernetes (EKS preferred) and AWS at production scale. Terraform expert — comfortable authoring reusable modules, managing remote state per environment, and reviewing other engineers' plans for cost and security impact. Solid automation scripting in Python and Bash, plus working Ansible for configuration management. Production CI/CD ownership in Jenkins and / or GitHub Actions, including GitOps delivery patterns. Practical SRE mindset: SLIs / SLOs, error budgets, monitoring with Prometheus / Grafana, on-call discipline. Exposure to multi-cloud (Azure / GCP) is a plus; financial-services or other regulated-environment experience is valued. CKA / CKAD and AWS certifications are a big plus but not mandatory. B.Tech / B.E. / MCA or equivalent experience.

Why this role in 2026

FIS Global is one of the world's largest fintech companies, and its India engineering centres in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Pune run cloud platforms that move enormous transaction volumes. This role sits at the intersection of Kubernetes, AWS and SRE for regulated financial workloads — rare, well-compensated experience that opens doors at any large bank, fintech or payments employer thereafter. Note the linked requisition is tagged as a Hong Kong shift; FIS also runs equivalent India-based Cloud Engineer / Senior Cloud Engineer openings, so search the FIS careers portal for the Hyderabad / Bengaluru / Pune variants too.

Application tips

Apply via the official FIS careers portal (link below) and, in parallel, search the same portal for 'Cloud Engineer', 'Senior Cloud Engineer' and 'SRE' filtered to Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Pune — FIS posts near-identical India requisitions. Tailor your CV with concrete metrics, e.g. 'Managed 50+ node EKS clusters, cut deployment downtime by 70%, authored 20+ reusable Terraform modules'. Lead with EKS production scope and Terraform module ownership.

Interview preparation

Expect a recruiter screen, a technical phone screen on Kubernetes and AWS fundamentals, a hands-on round (write or review a Terraform module / debug a failing Kubernetes deployment), an SRE-scenario round (design SLOs and an incident-response runbook for a payments service), and a hiring-manager round. Brush up on EKS upgrade strategies, IAM-roles-for-service-accounts, Terraform state locking and workspaces, GitOps with ArgoCD / Flux, and error-budget policy.

Career growth

Typical track inside FIS: Cloud Engineer → Senior Cloud Engineer → Lead / Staff SRE or Platform Engineer → Cloud Architect / Engineering Manager. The fintech-regulated-scale experience also moves cleanly into senior platform and SRE roles at banks, payment networks and large product companies.
