Salary benchmarks for Cloud, SRE, and Platform Engineers in 2026.
DevOps remains one of the highest-paying non-management roles in tech. In 2026, engineers with expertise in Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and Cloud-native AI scaling are in extremely short supply. Startups in Bengaluru and Pune are offering significant equity (ESOPs) on top of high base salaries to retain top platform engineering talent.
