A day in the life

You’ll spend a majority of your time operating and improving one of the largest software systems. Over the course of a week, you will review the operational health of the services in your team’s care, and as soon as you figure out why there was an anomaly, you write up an actionable bug report. As a responsible engineer, you’ve learned never to make changes to production systems without a plan, so you reviewed then executed changes following a change management process to one of the production systems in your care. Later in the week, you help to resolve your team’s backlog of operational issues. You round off the week by writing a cool script that you shared with your team which helps get to root cause faster of a hard problem that you diagnosed earlier. You will be required to occasionally participate in an on-call rotations to resolve incidents occurring out-of-hours.
