Veeren Jain — Director of Engineering

I’m an engineering leader with 12+ years driving SRE, DevOps and Platform Engineering for global products. I build resilient, cloud-native platforms and lead multi-region teams to improve reliability, reduce operational cost, and accelerate delivery. I’ve owned large infra modernisation programs from Nomad→EKS and Terraform Enterprise→Spacelift to observability centralisation and incident management platform migrations while delivering measurable business impact. Key Highlights Delivered $3.4M+ in annual savings across AWS, Datadog, Sentry, Ubuntu licensing and migration efficiencies. Drove $1.4M+ yearly cost optimisations at Miko AI through cloud rightsizing and architecture changes. Led global SRE & Platform teams across India, Spain and the U.S., owning DR, FinOps, compliance readiness (PCI/SOC) and platform roadmap execution. Ran major migrations and platform upgrades (Nomad→EKS, Terraform→Spacelift, Blameless→FireHydrant) and centralised metrics/logs/traces to improve alert quality and reduce mean-time-to-detect / mean-time-to-resolve. What I do best Translate business goals into platform strategy that scales and reduces ops spend. Establish SLOs/SLIs, incident workflows and post-mortem culture to drive reliability. Build reusable platform primitives (K8s/EKS, CI/CD, IaC) that boost developer velocity. Negotiate vendor contracts and implement FinOps governance to reduce recurring spend.
