Summary:

A Principal Engineer — Tools & Platforms provides expert technical leadership across the infrastructure tooling ecosystem — spanning observability, automation, infrastructure-as-code, ITSM platforms, internal developer portals, and AI-augmented operations. The role is accountable for building, governing, and continuously improving the engineering platforms that enable Cloud, Network, Security, Database, and Voice towers to operate at scale with reliability. A key differentiator of this role is the ability to embed AI-augmented capabilities — LLM-driven runbook automation, agentic ITSM workflows, and intelligent alert correlation — directly into infrastructure platforms, accelerating toil reduction and operational intelligence across the organization.

Observability

– ELK/Splunk

– OpenTelemetry

– Jaeger/Zipkin

Automation & IaC

– Terraform/Pulumi

– Ansible/Chef

– GitHub Actions/ArgoCD

– HashiCorp Vault

ITSM & DevOps

– ServiceNow

– Jira/Confluence

– Xmaters

AI-Augmented Ops

– LLM runbook automation

– Agentic ITSM workflows

– AI alert correlation

– RAG knowledge bases

– LLMOps pipelines

Roles & Responsibilities:

– Design, build, and operate enterprise observability platforms — Splunk — providing unified metrics, logging, and tracing across all infrastructure tiers with OpenTelemetry instrumentation standards

– Engineer and govern the IaC platform — Terraform or Pulumi — including module libraries, state management, policy-as-code (Sentinel/OPA), drift detection, and multi-cloud coverage across AWS and GCP

– Build and maintain CI/CD and GitOps pipeline infrastructure — GitHub Actions, ArgoCD — for infrastructure and application platform delivery operate the Internal Developer Portal (Backstage) for self-service provisioning

– Own ITSM platform engineering — ServiceNow workflow automation, CMDB reconciliation, PagerDuty/OpsGenie integrations, and automated incident creation pipelines across all infrastructure towers

– Engineer LLM-powered runbook automation — integrating OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini with infrastructure tooling to automate incident triage, resolution workflows, and knowledge base queries

– Build agentic ITSM workflows — multi-agent orchestration (LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI) that autonomously handle incident classification, runbook execution, and stakeholder communication with human-in-the-loop controls

– Implement AI-powered alert correlation and noise reduction — LLM-based reasoning to group related alerts, suppress false positives, and surface actionable incident context to on-call engineers

– Design RAG architectures for infrastructure knowledge bases — enabling engineers to query runbooks, operational docs, and incident history through natural language interfaces backed by vector databases

– Engineer secret management infrastructure — HashiCorp Vault — dynamic secrets, PKI automation, and Kubernetes auth across multi-cloud and on-premises environments

– Mentor engineers across all towers set platform engineering standards, drive tooling roadmaps, and act as the highest technical escalation point for platform and AI tooling issues

Preferred / Advantageous


– Crossplane for Kubernetes-native cloud resource provisioning

– eBPF-based observability — Cilium, Pixie, or Hubble — for deep infrastructure telemetry

– AI/ML infrastructure — GPU node management, model serving platforms (Triton, vLLM), or MLflow

– Platform engineering or SRE consulting background within financial services

Additional Information:

Infrastructure Platform Engineering & Tooling

– Observability, IaC, CI/CD, ITSM, and IDP platforms are reliable, well-governed, and actively adopted across all infrastructure towers — with measurable reductions in operational toil

– AI-augmented operations are deployed in production — runbook automation, agentic ITSM workflows, and LLM-powered alert correlation reduce MTTR and free engineers from repetitive work – IaC coverage is comprehensive and drift-free — environments reproducible, policy-compliant, and pipeline-deployable without manual intervention

– Engineering teams across all towers regard the Principal Engineer as the authoritative platform expert who removes blockers, sets the standard, and makes hard problems tractable

• 12–15+ years in platform, tools, or infrastructure engineering
• The candidate should have minimum 7.5 years of experience in Agentic Orchestration.
• This position is based at our Bengaluru office.
• A 15 years full time education is required.
