About Rohit Sharma

I specialize in the engineering of high-scale distributed systems where reliability is a core architectural requirement, not an afterthought. With over 9 years of experience spanning Software Engineering, Cloud Architecture, and SRE, I bring a \"code-first\" philosophy to every layer of the stack—ensuring that systems are as elegant in their logic as they are resilient in production.My commitment to engineering excellence was recognized at Google through the Global Tech Impact Award (Top 50 globally). I earned this distinction for architecting the foundational landing zones for JAPAC’s largest enterprise deployments—a challenge that required engineering complex, high-stakes environments where petabyte-scale data and extreme concurrency had to coexist with rigorous security and cost-efficiency.Key Expertise- Software Engineering & Systems Design:Across my tenures at Google, Cloudera, and CloudSek, I have focused on the full lifecycle of 60+ production microservices built in Python. Whether developing core cybersecurity engines or engineering high-concurrency distributed services handling billions of objects, I leverage Applied Data Structures and Algorithms to solve the unique performance bottlenecks that only emerge at massive scale- Site Reliability Engineering (SRE):I tackle the industry\'s most complex reliability hurdles, designing systems to handle millions of QPS while maintaining 99.9% application availability. I drive systemic resilience through Chaos Engineering and performance tuning for sub-millisecond latency in geographically distributed environments- Foundational Cloud Architecture:My architectural decisions are rooted in a deep systems-level mastery, underpinned by my background as a Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA). I have enabled some of the largest GCP deployments in JAPAC, managing petabytes of storage and fleets of thousands of VMs across E-commerce, Banking, AdTech and OTT sectors.I thrive at the intersection of complex code and industrial-strength infrastructure—solving the architectural problems that appear only when you hit the limits of traditional systems.

Experience

1. Site Reliability Engineer

   Google

   Aug 2025 — Present · Bengaluru, IN

   Member of the Core SRE team, responsible for the reliability and lifecycle management of the foundational services at Google- Hardened the reliability of a Tier-0 global service providing low-latency web content access for YouTube and core GCP services (Cloud Functions, Cloud Build, App Engine and more)- Mitigated multi-region outage risks by spearheading a \"Code Yellow\" effort to overhaul unreliable database schema rollout processes- Introduced global progressive rollout incorporating schema canarying, binary-schema sequencing, and automated client-side canary analysis- Restricted the maximum blast radius to a single region during global deployments, effectively preventing global/multi-region outages of critical Google products- Implemented Google-wide reliability best practises in multiple internal core services. Practises like Load Shedding, Network QoS, Canary Analysis, Probers, Progressive Rollouts, etc- Spearheading the integration of autonomous AI agents to automate the end-to-end triage, diagnostics, and remediation of on-duty bugs, eliminating operational toil by shifting engineering focus to a human-in-the-loop supervisory and verification model.
