UnitedHealth Group (Optum)

Job description
Hybrid
Overview
Senior SRE for UnitedHealth Group / Optum's healthcare-scale platforms in Hyderabad — build reliable Azure / GCP infrastructure with Terraform and Python, run AKS / GKE clusters, and drive SLO-led reliability engineering. 5+ years, hybrid Hyderabad, INR 24-44 LPA band.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain reliable cloud platforms using Terraform for infrastructure-as-code on Azure and GCP, supporting healthcare-scale systems where uptime directly affects patients and providers.
- Manage Kubernetes clusters (AKS and / or GKE): cluster lifecycle and upgrades, autoscaling, Workload Identity for least-privilege IAM, ingress, and platform add-ons via Helm.
- Implement observability, alerting and automated remediation — define and track SLIs / SLOs, instrument services with Prometheus / Grafana and cloud-native monitoring, and reduce toil through self-healing automation.
- Integrate Python scripting for custom reliability tooling, CI/CD optimisation, and infrastructure management; conduct blameless post-mortems and codify learnings into runbooks.
- Ensure compliance, security and cost governance in a regulated healthcare environment — secrets management, encryption, audit trails (HIPAA-aware), and FinOps reporting.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver resilient microservices and disaster-recovery strategies, including multi-region failover and tested restore procedures.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of SRE / DevOps / Platform Engineering experience with a strong reliability mindset.
- Terraform expertise on Azure and / or GCP — reusable modules, remote state, plan reviews.
- Production Kubernetes experience (AKS or GKE preferred).
- Strong Python for automation tooling and CI/CD; comfortable with Bash.
- Hands-on observability (Prometheus, Grafana, cloud-native monitoring) and incident-response tooling.
- SLI / SLO definition, error budgets, and post-incident review discipline.
- Bachelor's in CS / IT or equivalent. Azure / GCP and CKA certifications a plus.
- Why this role in 2026
- Optum (the technology and health-services arm of UnitedHealth Group, a Fortune-5 company) runs one of the largest healthcare-technology engineering centres in Hyderabad. Reliability and compliance are first-class priorities here, which makes it an excellent environment to deepen genuine SRE skills — SLOs, error budgets, multi-cloud Terraform and disaster recovery — inside a stable, well-funded organisation.
- Company & benefits
- INR 24-44 LPA fixed band for senior profiles plus annual bonus (market-rate estimate; confirmed at offer). Comprehensive health coverage for self + family + parents. Hybrid model in Hyderabad. Sponsored Azure / GCP / Kubernetes certifications and learning budget. Strong leave, parental-leave and wellness benefits typical of a Fortune-5 employer.
