Position Details

Job Title: Senior Engineer - Incident Management
Function/Department: Technology
Location: Hyderabad
Employment Type: Full Time
Position Summary:

THE ROLE

This is a hands-on incident command role. As an Incident Manager in Chubb's Technology Operating Center (TOC), you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of IT incidents — from detection to resolution to post-incident review. You will be the person who takes control of the bridge call, drives technical and vendor teams to resolution, and ensures the right people are engaged at the right time.

This is not a passive coordination role. We are looking for someone who can command a room (or a call), make rapid prioritization decisions under pressure, and communicate with clarity to both technical teams and senior stakeholders.

What You'll Do

Incident Command & Bridge Leadership

Own and chair all major incident bridge calls — taking command from the moment an incident is declared, driving technical teams toward resolution, and preventing call drift or confusion
Apply a structured incident command approach: establish clear roles, maintain situational awareness, enforce time-boxed actions, and escalate decisively when progress stalls
Keep calls focused and productive — cut through noise, redirect off-topic discussion, and ensure every participant knows their next action
Determine when to escalate to management and lead that escalation with a clear, concise incident summary

Incident Lifecycle Management

Identify, prioritize, triage, and classify incidents rapidly using defined severity criteria — independently making P1/P2 judgments without waiting for consensus
Manage the full incident record in ServiceNow: accurate timelines, action logs, resolution steps, and closure documentation
Coordinate across infrastructure, application, network, and cloud teams to ensure the right resolver groups are engaged and accountable
Oversee vendor partners during incidents, holding them to SLA commitments and escalating internally when they fall short

Communication & Stakeholder Management

Draft and distribute timely, accurate incident notifications and status updates to stakeholders — translating technical impact into business language
Provide clear executive-level summaries during P1 incidents, calibrating technical depth to the audience
Maintain a communication cadence throughout the incident lifecycle, including proactive updates when resolution timelines shift

Problem Management & Continuous Improvement

Lead post-incident reviews (PIRs) for major incidents — facilitating blameless root cause analysis and driving clear action items to closure
Identify recurring incident patterns and work with infrastructure teams on permanent fixes
Track and report on incident KPIs and SLAs; proactively surface trends and areas of risk to TOC leadership
Contribute to the development and refinement of incident runbooks, escalation paths, and response playbooks

Team & Process Ownership

Act as the escalation point for TOC staff when incidents require management engagement
Coach and develop junior team members on incident management practices, bridge call etiquette, and communication standards
Maintain awareness of upcoming infrastructure changes and releases, proactively assessing potential incident risk

Essential

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Proven track record commanding P1/major incident bridge calls — you have been the person running the call, not just attending it
Ability to take charge in high-pressure, ambiguous situations: you drive teams, not wait for consensus
Strong verbal communication — clear, direct, and calm under pressure; able to control a call with competing voices
6+ years in IT operations or infrastructure support, with direct involvement in incident or problem management
Hands-on experience with ServiceNow (incident management, dashboards, reporting)
Working knowledge of ITIL incident and problem management frameworks

Strongly Preferred

ITIL Foundation certification (v3 or v4); Intermediate or Practitioner a plus
Experience in large, complex enterprise environments with global infrastructure scope
Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and hybrid on-prem/cloud environments
Experience with major incident notification tooling (PagerDuty, OpsGenie, or equivalent)
Background in financial services, insurance, or other regulated industry environments

Behavioral Profile — What Great Looks Like In This Role

Takes ownership without being asked — sees a gap, fills it
Communicates with precision: no ambiguity about what is happening, what is being done, and by whom
Stays composed when the bridge gets loud — de-escalates tension while keeping urgency high
Pushes back constructively when teams are stalling, deflecting, or off-track
Follows through: actions get closed, not just logged

What This Role Is Not

This is not a monitoring-and-ticket-routing role. If you are looking for a position where you respond to alerts and hand off to resolver teams, this is not the right fit. We need someone who leads from the front during incidents — commanding calls, making judgment calls, and driving resolution themselves.

Qualifications

QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience
5+ years in IT operations, infrastructure support, or a related technical function
Demonstrable experience managing or co-managing major incident bridge calls (please be prepared to describe specific examples in interview)
Strong written communication skills for incident notifications, executive summaries, and post-incident reports
Ability to operate across time zones; some out-of-hours availability required given Global
Insurance or financial services domain knowledge is an advantage but not required

Why Join Us

Be at the forefront of digital transformation in the insurance industry.
Lead impactful initiatives that simplify claims processing and enhance customer satisfaction.
Work alongside experienced professionals in a collaborative, innovation-driven environment.
