Associate Site Reliability Engineer

Position Summary: AssetMark is a leading wealth management platform dedicated to empowering financial advisors and the investors they serve. As we continue to expand our global capabilities, we are establishing a Global Capability Center (GCC) in Hyderabad to enhance our operational excellence, strengthen strategic capabilities, and support our long-term growth. We are seeking a Associate Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to join our engineering team. This role sits at the center of platform resilience ensuring high availability, performance, recoverability, and operational maturity across AssetMarks production systems. This is not a traditional operations role. Our SREs are engineers first: designing automation, building observability frameworks, improving deployment safety, defining reliability standards, and reducing operational toil through code. You will influence architectural decisions, strengthen incident management practices, and raise the reliability bar across both legacy and cloud-native systems. At AssetMark, reliability is a first-order expression of client obsession. Our SRE team plays a critical role in delivering the consistent, trusted technology experience that advisors depend on to run their businesses.
