- Ownership Scope - As an SRE, you will understand the end-to-end configuration, technical dependencies, and overall behavioral characteristics of the production services you collaborate with. In partnership with your Development colleagues, you will have the responsibility to ensure that services are designed and delivered to be mission critical with a focus on security, resiliency, scale, and performance.
- Operations Engineering - You will understand and be able to communicate the scale, capacity, security, performance attributes, and requirements of the services you own. We are subject matter experts, able to understand and communicate every characteristic of our service stack, such as:
- degradation and behavior under load of the services and their dependencies
- end-to-end tuning needs, optimizing resource utilization, as load patterns fluctuate
- Instrumentation and metrics that clearly describe the service behaviors
- scaling requirements and patterns
- resiliency and recoverability, ensuring that backup/restore and disaster recovery capabilities are implemented, tested and maintained
- Automation - You will have a clear understanding of automation and orchestration principles, and will be eager to help automate, wherever and whenever the possibility arises, while simultaneously eliminating technical debt. Automation must be part of your DNA.
- Technical Experts - You will have a deep understanding of service topology and their dependencies required to troubleshoot issues and define mitigations. You will bring this expertise to bear in driving reliability improvements in the services you engage with.
- Broad Interests - SREs are a rare mix of sysadmins and Development Engineers, and as such, have the ability to understand and explain the effect of product architecture decisions on the ability to run as distributed systems. They are driven by professional curiosity, and a desire to develop deep understanding of their services and their dependencies.
