Cloud Engineer (Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform) — FIS Global · Hyderabad / Bengaluru / Pune

Senior Cloud Engineer for FIS Global's fintech platform — design and operate production Kubernetes (EKS) on AWS with Terraform, Ansible, Python and Bash, applying SRE practices at scale. 5-10 years, hybrid across Hyderabad / Bengaluru / Pune, INR 25-45 LPA band.

About this role and the team at FIS Global. Senior Cloud Engineer for FIS Global's fintech platform — design and operate production Kubernetes (EKS) on AWS with Terraform, Ansible, Python and Bash, applying SRE practices at scale. 5-10 years, hybrid across Hyderabad / Bengaluru / Pune, INR 25-45 LPA band. The role is permanent / full-time, hybrid, and the salary band reflects market rates in Hyderabad as of mid-2026 (confirmed at the offer stage).

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

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

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.
