The Site Reliability Engineering team in CaptivateIQ operates across the engineering organization, supporting our development teams by providing them with the tools and processes they need to get their job done well. We ensure that the service provided by our product is great for the paying customers and when it isn’t we ensure that the business is well informed. We do this by providing infrastructure, platform, reliability, and observability support to our internal customers to help them achieve their goals.   

 

The team are thoughtful and pragmatic engineers who balance doing things right versus doing things right now.  We invest in iterative efforts to refine or pivot our work, deliver real-world results, and reflect on the process in order to improve it incrementally.  We are fully remote and invest in written communication for long term institutional memory while valuing the synchronous time we have together in order to build and strengthen our relationships.  

 

SRE team responsibilities vary based on the needs of our internal customers and the skills available in the team.  Below is a list of general responsibilities that all SRE team members should be expected to fulfill.
