About The Position

Are you curious, motivated, and forward-thinking? At FIS you’ll have the opportunity to work on some of the most challenging and relevant issues in financial services and technology. Our talented people empower us, and we believe in being part of a team that is open, collaborative, entrepreneurial, passionate and above all fun. About the team The SRE team is responsible for the continuous, global support of the Modern Banking Platform (MBP), ensuring both online and batch systems are reliable for a diverse client base. The team’s operational model is built around two main regional shifts (India and US), leveraging on-call rotations to bridge gaps outside standard business hours. This approach is cost-effective and helps prevent staff burnout, but it also means that expectations for around-the-clock support—especially from clients in regions like New Zealand—must be managed carefully. Production environments receive true 24x7 support, while non-production/test environments are covered during business hours, with on-call escalation for critical issues only. This model is enforced to maintain team sustainability and service quality. What you will be doing The SRE Manager leads a global, multi-regional team responsible for the reliability, availability, and performance of FIS’s Modern Banking Platform (MBP). This role ensures 24x7x365 support for both online and batch systems, serving a diverse production client base—including high-profile implementations in regions such as New Zealand. The manager is accountable for operational excellence, continuous improvement, and the professional development of the SRE team.
