necessarily a requirement.

Senior Site Reliability Engineer

December 2005-Present

Engineer in the "traffic team." Responsible for getting internet

users to Google reliably and with as low latency as possible. My

apologies, much of the content below is necessarily vague.

Projects:LoadbalancingI do not write the loadbalancer. I configure and

deploy it in production for all Google services that speak

HTTP/HTTPS. I am an expert in these systems, and on tweaking and

tuning them to meet the specific requirements of varied

services.

I have led or participated in several teams that have

altered the architecture of the production systems on the site

with no downtime and no public maintenance windows.

Ad Hoc Software DevelopmentA big part of the job is writing configuration

storage, validation, and glue code to get configuration deployed

safely. Most of this is done in Python.

Oncall EngineerLiterally carry the pager for google.com. I have

dealt with network issues, massive scale software bugs, DoS

attacks, and anything and everything else that comes with

running a large web site on the internet.
