Description
Job Description:
The concept of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) comes from the Google engineering team and is credited to Ben Treynor Sloss. SRE is a software engineering approach to IT operations whereby software is used as a tool to manage systems, solve problems, and automate operations tasks.
Standardization and automation are 2 important components of the SRE model. Site reliability engineers should always be looking for ways to enhance and automate operations tasks. SRE supports teams who are moving from a traditional approach to IT operations to a cloud-native approach with the understanding the survivability and reliability are centerpieces to proposed solutions.
A site reliability engineer is a unique role that requires either a background as a software developer with additional operations experience, or as a sysadmin or in an IT operations role that also has software development skills.
