What a Site Reliability Engineer does
Site reliability engineers keep production systems available, fast and recoverable by applying software engineering to operations problems. They are responsible for defining service level objectives, building monitoring and alerting, leading incident response and removing the manual work and failure modes that cause outages, usually in partnership with the product teams that own each service.
