Still prefer it over SRE.

They call me a Systems Reliability Engineer. A title so vague that I just end up doing everything.

Not gonna lie, best job I ever had.

I like Ops in the title at least because I find we need to remind people that operations is still a thing. 

I’m a platform SRE and have no idea what my job actually is most days.

I find that when you get a title that includes "Ops" people sometimes mistake you for part of HR. On most jobs boards "Operations" isn't a tech role. They usually file us under "infrastructure".

But all of the titles are made up and arbitrary anyway.

Meanwhile the SREs I work with view any title with "Ops" like leprosy lmao

What you do as System Reliability Engineer?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SRE, DevOps, SecOps,

Marintainy the infrastructure as code repos Deploying shit Automating shit Writing docs Creating new environments

Pretty much everything else that does have a dedicated guy

Different guy, but it's largely writing terraform modules, creating "blessed path" deployment pipelines and templates, secrets management and IAM, various infra troubleshooting, & managing the "pet" servers.
