 Site Reliability Engineer I (aka SRE I) are specialists in treating operations as a software problem. They focus on reliability of systems and services - addressing availability, performance, scalability, latency, observability, efficiency. The role of a SRE I is to produce quality technical solutions to problems outlined by the Engineering Manager and Product Owner. They write good quality test and production code with little supervision. They have the knowledge to use the right design pattern at the right time and follow best practices with minimal support. A SRE I works on concrete topics as any other team members, but the delivery is slower than more experienced SREs because of the lack of experience and expertise in some technologies and the lack of commercial awareness. The primary differences between a SRE I and a SRE II are both the expectations of velocity as well as the amount of effort required to produce a stand-alone solution. Because the required technical skills and commercial knowledge can vary from one area to another, SRE I can wear several hats; part of a business service owner team, owner of a piece of infrastructure, and/or consultant to product development teams regarding Site Reliability Engineering related scope.
