New SRE on the Block
This talk was held on Wednesday, August 8, 2018.
New role, new company, and tons to learn: this is my story of becoming a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) at Indeed. I discussed my transition from a Software Engineer in the biomedical field to an SRE for the world’s #1 job site. I explained why I wanted to make this change and how Indeed supported this career move. Indeed provides a unique, immersive onboarding experience that eased my transition into a new role at a new company and enabled me to contribute value early and often. This talk provided an understanding of the SRE role at Indeed and why you just might want to make this change too!
