We don't like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don't get paged for the same issue twice.

A day in the life
You'll roughly spend 50% of your time operating production systems and 50% making long-term improvements to the reliability, availability, and performance of those software systems. An example week could look like:
Monday morning you root caused why some deployments recently failed, and in the afternoon, you made fixes for those bugs. Tuesday you realized there's actually a common thread to those bug fixes yesterday, and designed a solution to that class of problem, seeking feedback from your team. On Wednesday you investigated a Service Level Objective (SLO) that recently became less than useful.

You dove deep, talked with the partner team, and found out the…
