How is Google's site reliability engineer position different from a systems engineer position?
That sounds similar to a systems engineer position. Can you explain how they differ?
While site reliability engineers and systems engineers share some responsibilities, site reliability engineers also focus on the reliability and efficiency of Google's products and services. They collaborate closely with developers to identify and resolve issues as well as proactively prevent potential issues. Systems engineers, on the other hand, focus more on the design and implementation of the underlying infrastructure and processes that support these products and services.
