Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is what you get when you treat operations as if it's a software problem.
This is an unusual job, unlike others in the industry.
Like traditional operations groups, we keep important, revenue-critical systems up and running despite hurricanes, bandwidth outages, and configuration problems.
Unlike traditional operations groups, we also have full access to and authority to fix, extend, and scale the code to keep it working and harden it against all the vagaries of the Internet.
We hire people from both systems and software backgrounds.
Strong candidates will have experience with both.
Just as what we do is unique, where we do it is unique too.

Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency and overall system health.
