Occupation

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/site-reliability-engineer

A Site Reliability Engineer applies software engineering practices to keep production systems reliable, scalable, and performant, often working within cloud infrastructure environments built on Kubernetes. Core responsibilities include setting up monitoring and observability tooling, leading incident response when systems fail, and writing scripts in Python or Bash to automate operational tasks. The role is typically held by experienced engineers with a strong systems background who are as comfortable on-call troubleshooting outages as they are writing code.
