A site reliability engineer keeps production services fast and available. SREs set reliability targets (SLOs), build monitoring and alerting, automate away repetitive operations work and lead the response when something breaks.

Start with roles that match your current level, keep learning on the job, and grow towards the senior skills in this path.
Indicative yearly pay, in lakh rupees (LPA). Pay varies with city, company, skills and certifications, so use these as a guide, not a promise.
Rounded ranges from public salary surveys (AmbitionBox, Glassdoor and PayScale India), checked November 2026. Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune often pay above these ranges, and product companies and global capability centres pay more than service companies.
SREs own reliability: SLOs, observability, on-call and post-incident reviews. DevOps engineers own the delivery pipeline. The skills overlap heavily, and many people move between the two.
NOC engineers monitor networks and services and escalate incidents. SREs also engineer the fixes: automation, capacity and design changes that stop incidents recurring.
Our advisors will match the path to the right SOTT course for your background.
