About the job
As part of Technical Infrastructure, Google’s Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is an engineering discipline for building and running large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. Our Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) come from both software engineering and systems engineering backgrounds and specialize in designing, building and maintaining large-scale production services.
SRE ensures that Google’s services - both our internally critical and our externally visible systems - have reliability and uptime appropriate to users’ needs and a fast rate of improvement while keeping an ever-watchful eye on capacity and performance. Along with a set of engineering approaches, SRE is a mindset of running better production systems. We build our own creative engineering solutions to operations problems.
Much of our software development focuses on optimizing existing systems, building infrastructure and eliminating work through automation. SRE is responsible for the big picture, determining how our systems relate to each other, using a breadth of tools and approaches to solve a broad spectrum of problems.
