Introduction
At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, lets talk.
Your Role and Responsibilities
You may be involved in all areas of the Platform, from developing new features and functions, to ensuring the production environment remains stable and reliable.
The developer and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) teams both care about reliability, availability, performance, scalability, efficiency, and feature and launch velocity. However, SREs operate under different incentives, mainly favouring service long-term viability over new feature launches. SREs are responsible for ensuring services are resilient, responsive and have an up time appropriate to customer’s needs whilst controlling capacity and performance. Additionally, improving these services in a highly dynamic environment.
In summary, SRE is an engineering discipline that combines software, infrastructure and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant systems. Day-to-day, SREs use automation to limit time spent on operational work and proactively identify potential risk factors and convert them into actionable improvements
Whichever squad you join, the overall approach will be to:
- Analyse the requirements and prepare plans, code, and test to ensure quality deliverables within the multiple-geo Platform team.
- Develop automation tests for the test cases executed & maintain existing regression suite.
- Take ownership of the entire development lifecycle including documentation, testing, and maintenance.
- Participate in sprint planning and other agile ceremonies.
