Responsibilities

Own the "middle-mile" of software delivery for GE Vernova's Grid Software SaaS — the path from a merged commit to a safely-running production workload — building, deploying and operating the cloud-native pipelines and runtime that product teams depend on. Design and run CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) with reusable templates, automated testing, image scanning and signed-artefact promotion, and GitOps delivery via ArgoCD so deployments are declarative, auditable and reversible. Operate production Amazon EKS workloads: cluster add-ons, autoscaling, ingress, IRSA for workload identity, NetworkPolicy and Pod Security standards, and zero-downtime rolling and progressive (canary / blue-green) deployments. Provision and manage infrastructure as code with Terraform and Ansible — reusable, versioned modules for VPC, EKS, RDS, S3, IAM, KMS and supporting services — with plan reviews and drift detection on production state. Build monitoring, logging and automated testing frameworks — Prometheus and Grafana for metrics, Loki for logs, synthetic and integration checks — and define SLIs / SLOs jointly with product owners. Drive reliability improvements and incident management: lead on-call response, run blameless post-mortems, track action items to closure, and continuously reduce toil through automation and self-service tooling. Work on container orchestration, security and scalability for a global, multi-tenant SaaS — hardening the delivery and runtime so product teams inherit secure, reliable defaults by default. Optimise cost and efficiency continuously — rightsizing, Savings Plans, Spot for fault-tolerant jobs, image and volume cleanup automation — and produce visibility so each team owns its footprint. Collaborate with platform and product engineers, document delivery patterns clearly, and mentor on Terraform, Kubernetes and DevOps best practices, representing the Hyderabad team in cross-site engineering forums.

Requirements & qualifications

5+ years of DevOps and / or SRE experience with hands-on ownership of production Kubernetes (Amazon EKS preferred). Strong Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure-as-code and configuration management — reusable modules, remote state, plan reviews. Production CI/CD mastery in Jenkins and / or GitHub Actions, plus GitOps delivery (ArgoCD or Flux). Solid scripting / programming in Python and / or Go at automation-quality level. Observability experience (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki / Elastic) and the SRE discipline of SLIs / SLOs, error budgets and on-call. Working AWS depth (VPC, IAM, EKS, S3, RDS, KMS) and container fundamentals (Docker, Helm). Security awareness — image scanning, secrets management, workload identity, admission policies — and the maturity to operate in a safety-critical domain. Large-scale SaaS or critical-infrastructure experience is a plus. AWS / CKA / CKAD certifications valued. B.Tech / B.E. / M.Tech in CS / IT or equivalent.

Why this role in 2026

This GE Vernova role bridges DevOps and SRE for the company's Grid Software products — the software underpinning modern, sustainable electricity grids. You own the delivery and reliability middle-mile end to end, which means high autonomy and visible impact: when you make the pipeline and platform better, every product team ships faster and more safely. The Hyderabad centre is investing in exactly this work, the compensation suits the seniority, and EKS + Terraform + CI/CD + SRE experience on critical infrastructure is broadly transferable to senior roles afterwards.

Application tips

Apply directly via the GE Vernova careers link below (requisition R5036316). Highlight CI/CD ownership (what you automated and the time / risk you removed), EKS production scope, and reliability outcomes with numbers — 'reduced lead time from commit to prod from 2 days to 2 hours', 'cut change-failure rate by half'. Critical-infrastructure or regulated-industry exposure should be visible.

Interview preparation

Expect a recruiter screen, a technical screen on Kubernetes / AWS / Terraform, a hands-on round (design a Jenkins / GitHub Actions → ArgoCD pipeline, or review a Terraform module), an SRE system-design round (design a zero-downtime delivery and incident-response system for a multi-tenant SaaS), and a hiring-manager round. Brush up on progressive delivery, GitOps promotion, Terraform state management, and DORA-style delivery metrics.

Career growth

Path: SRE Production DevOps Engineer → Senior / Staff DevOps or SRE → Principal Engineer or Platform Architect → Engineering Manager. Lateral moves into the SRE Platform team or product engineering are well supported within GE Vernova.

Company & benefits
