Your role and responsibilities
IBM maintains the largest corporate network in the world, and it is highly critical to the success of our
business. The CIO Network Engineering organization is looking for highly skilled and motivated
individuals to further improve our network resiliency, quality, diversify our technology stack and embrace
next generation networking. These changes will enable faster, smarter decision-making and deliver speed
to value. The network engineering Tools and Automation squads are focused on driving automation,
analytics and tooling into the greater organization to give the operation and deployment visibility and
insights into the operations of the global network.
We're looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join us at IBM. Site Reliability Engineers take a different
approach it comes to hosting and managing infrastructure, services, and applications. We approach this
as a software problem instead of as an operations problem. Applying software engineering practices to
hosting and managing enables our services to better adapt to all types of changes and failure scenarios.
To help us accomplish this approach we use the latest techniques, practices and technology from the
industry while hosting large-scale mission critical infrastructure. Some of the techniques, practices, and
technologies we use are Docker, IaaS, PaaS, ChatOps, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Deployment,
DevOps, and Immutable Infrastructure. We strive to keep learning and improving, and we work to share
the knowledge we have learned throughout IBM.
Our project is a highly visible connectivity layer between IBM and the Cloud, used by many groups and
service providers in IBM to connect their internal and cloud-based assets and users. We are not just
building a highly automated build process with regression testing, monitoring and deployment promotion,
but also a service that customers can also use within their own DevOps pipeline to deploy their cloud
solutions.
This is an important technical role that will require participation in an evolving culture, designed to deliver
software solutions from different teams into a continually available environment. Ultimately, your work will
decide if code drops are ready to deploy to production and help ensure that, if a deployment fails, that it
"fails small and recovers quickly"
