What the work involves
Day to day
Running the infrastructure software lives on - build and deployment pipelines, containers and orchestration, monitoring, scaling and cost, plus the incident response when something breaks at an inconvenient hour.
Who this suits
Fit
Systems-minded engineers who like reliability problems. Every company that migrated to cloud needs the skills continuously, pay is above general development, and the expertise is genuinely hard to fake in an interview.
The honest reality
Read this one
On-call is the defining feature - production incidents are not scheduled and you carry the pager. The work is invisible when done well and highly visible when it fails. Cloud platforms change constantly and certifications need renewing. Cost pressure has made some organisations shrink these teams while expecting the same reliability. It is a demanding role that suits people who find outages interesting rather than terrifying.
