About the job

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) combines software and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems.

Additionally SRE’s will keep an ever-watchful eye on our systems capacity and performance.

At YouTube, we believe that everyone deserves to have a voice, and that the world is a better place when we listen, share, and build community through our stories. We work together to give everyone the power to share their story, explore what they love, and connect with one another in the process.

We explore new ideas, solve real problems, and have fun — and we do it all together.

Responsibilities

• Be on-call for real-time and batch data processing systems.
• Scale systems through mechanisms like automation and evolve systems by driving changes that improve reliability and velocity.
• Manage support services before they go live through activities such as system design consulting, developing software platforms and frameworks, capacity planning, and launch reviews.
• Provide guidance to other team members on managing availability and performance of mission services, on building automation to prevent problem recurrence, and on building automated responses for non-exceptional service conditions.
• Maintain services once they are live by measuring and monitoring availability, latency, and overall system health, and lead to a sustainable incident response.
