Job Description

Meet the Team 

Join the founding SRE team building Cisco’s next-generation multi-cloud fabric (MCF) platform from the ground up. We are a high-impact, 17-person global team (spanning the US, Europe and India) dedicated to ensuring the reliability of a platform designed to handle billions of daily transactions across multiple global regions. You will collaborate closely with Backend, DevOps, and QA teams to pioneer the future of multi-cloud connectivity. 
 

Your Impact 

As a Senior SRE, you will be instrumental in the MCF Beta launch scheduled for Q3 2026. You will design observability systems, optimize performance, and ensure the platform operates with 99.9%+ reliability across AWS, Azure, and GCP. This role offers the exciting opportunity to build self-healing infrastructure and AI-powered operations for a brand-new, large-scale networking platform. 

  • Build Reliable Infrastructure: Design and operate highly available infrastructure across AWS (EKS), Azure (AKS), and GCP (GKE) regions. 

  • Observability & Monitoring: Architect comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and dashboards using Prometheus, Thanos, and Grafana. 

  • AI-Powered SRE: Build MCP servers and AI agents to detect anomalies, automate troubleshooting, and enable self-healing. 

  • Automation Excellence: Write Python/Go code to automate operations, reduce manual toil, and improve system efficiency. 

  • Incident Response: Lead incident response, conduct root cause analysis (RCA), and participate in a 24x7 on-call rotation to ensure 24/7 uptime. 
     

Minimum Qualifications 

  • 7-12 years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or infrastructure engineering with a focus on reliability at scale. 

  • Proficiency in programming with Python or Go. 

  • Expertise in Linux internals (networking, filesystems, memory management) and container orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS/AKS/GKE). 

  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, Terragrunt or Ansible and public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP). 

  • Willingness to participate in a 24x7 on-call rotation.  

 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP stack, BGP, IPsec, VPN). 

  • Experience managing multi-cloud operations across AWS, Azure, and GCP simultaneously. 

  • Knowledge of high-performance networking or VPP (Vector Packet Processing). 

  • Experience with secrets management (IAM roles, RBAC, service accounts). 

  • Familiarity with building AI-native SRE tools or MCP server development.
