Responsibilities

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a discipline that incorporates aspects of software engineering and applies them to infrastructure and operations problems. The main goals are to create scalable and highly reliable software systems. According to Ben Treynor, founder of Google's Site Reliability Team, SRE is "what happens when a software engineer is tasked with what used to be called operations."

A Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) will spend up to 50% of their time doing "ops" related work such as investigating and troubleshooting issues, incident response, and maintaining playbooks and other relevant documentation. Since the system that an SRE oversees is expected to be highly available and self-healing, the SRE should spend the other 50% of their time on development tasks such as improving CI and deployment pipelines, enhancing monitoring capabilities, and keeping systems updated. The ideal Site Reliability Engineer candidate is either a software engineer with a good administration background or a highly skilled system administrator with knowledge of deployment automation, coding, and DevOps.
