SA/AVP/VP - Site Reliability Engineer

BUILD MARKETS. SHAPE ECONOMIES.

At SGX Group, we create markets. We turn ideas into products and expand access to new opportunities. We are building the future of the exchange in-house: from architecture and platforms to the critical systems that power markets. The biggest decisions are still open to people who join us now.

The opportunity

SGX is hiring Site Reliability Engineers who treat operations as a software problem. You'll keep production healthy, but more importantly you'll build the automation, tooling, and agentic workflows that make running our systems boring and predictable. This is an engineering role - if your instinct on a recurring issue is to write code that removes it, you'll fit in well.

We operate in a regulated capital-markets environment, so the bar for reliability, security, and operational rigour is high.

The Site Reliability Engineering team

Site Reliability Engineering keeps the platforms behind SGX Group's business and market infrastructure available, observable, and recoverable.

The team sets the standards other engineering teams work to across service levels, error budgets, observability, incident response and automation. It works across engineering, infrastructure, security, and product, and it owns the practice as well as seen as the SME for ensuring resilience and proactive maintenance and continuous improvement of the estate.

The next phase is about establishing SRE as a discipline rather than a function, moving reliability decisions upstream into design, and reducing the manual work that currently sits behind keeping services up.

What you will do

• Own production reliability (SLOs, capacity, incident response, postmortems) and turn every incident into a durable fix in code or automation
• Build the platform and tooling that make services easy to deploy, observe, and operate: CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, observability stacks, runbooks-as-code
• Apply AI agentically across operations (triage, root-cause analysis, remediation, change review) and contribute to our internal agentic ecosystem
• Design and integrate the systems underneath our services: messaging (e.g. Kafka), orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes), and performance-sensitive infrastructure
• Partner with product engineers on release readiness, rollout strategy, and production hardening before things ship
• Continuously reduce toil: measure it, attack it with code, and raise the floor on what "easy to maintain" means here

What we are looking for

• 5+ years in SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineering, with a clear track record of replacing manual work with code
• Strong programming ability in at least one modern language (e.g. Go, Python, Kotlin, TypeScript, Rust, etc), you write production code, not just glue scripts
• AI-native ways of working: real experience orchestrating agents for ops workflows, not just using AI for autocomplete
• Deep hands-on with Kubernetes, IaC (Terraform or equivalent), CI/CD, and modern observability (metrics, logs, traces)
• Production experience on a major cloud: GCP preferred, AWS acceptable
• Solid foundations in distributed systems and the failure modes that matter in production
• Incident-response maturity: calm under pressure, sharp on root cause, disciplined about follow-through
• Comfort in complex, regulated environments

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with the FIX protocol or capital-markets domain
• Experience building internal developer platforms or self-service tooling consumed by other engineers

Why this role matters

You will work on technology that underpins critical market infrastructure, where reliability is not a quality attribute of the product. It is the product. When these platforms work, participants trade and capital moves. When they do not, everyone knows within seconds.

The mandate is real. You will decide what reliability means here, how it is measured, and what the organisation is willing to trade for it. The work is demanding and the practice is still being built, which is exactly where the opportunity sits. There are not many chances in a career to establish a discipline rather than inherit one.
