PhonePe
About this role
PhonePe processes over 330 million transactions a day with annualised payment value above 150 lakh crore rupees, which is the reason this SRE role exists in the shape it does. The team keeps that fintech infrastructure available, and the posting is straightforward about the foundations it wants: Linux and Unix administration with real depth, working computer networking knowledge, and broad familiarity with open source tooling and cloud services. There is an active on call rotation, stated plainly. One thing worth knowing before you apply: PhonePe has published the identical job description under a second title, Service Delivery Engineer, so if you see both, they are the same role and there is no point applying twice. We have listed it once for that reason.
Who this is for
PhonePe publishes no years of experience figure on this posting, so none has been recorded here rather than guessing. The level in the title is 2, and the posting asks for extensive experience in Linux and Unix administration, so it is not an entry level seat.
Required: proficiency in Linux and Unix administration coupled with extensive field experience; computer networking proficiency and working knowledge; the ability to use a wide variety of open source technologies and tools with a strong emphasis on cloud services; implementing best practice and IT operations to maintain an always up, always available service; and active participation in the on call rotation.
The day to day is keeping one of the largest fintech infrastructures in the country running: reliability and performance work, incident response, and the operational engineering that sits behind an always available payments service.
Location is Bangalore.
⚠️ Note before applying: PhonePe currently advertises a byte identical description under the separate title Service Delivery Engineer. They are the same job description. We publish one listing rather than two so that the board reflects one real opening.
Good fit if you have solid Linux and networking fundamentals and want infrastructure at genuine scale, where an outage is immediately visible to hundreds of millions of people. Not a fit if you are looking for a development role, or cannot take part in an on call rotation.
