Hi there,

I’m excited that you are interested in learning more about being an SRE. I am in an Engineering Leadership role at Dropbox where I work with SREs on our Databases and Magic Pocket Infrastructure Teams. We have over 500 petabytes of data, over 500 million customers and very small teams.

This list of resources was collected by Krishelle and I. Krishelle recently joined us at Dropbox after graduating from Hackbright Academy. Read more about Krishelle’s career change story and becoming an SRE over on Huff Post.

SREs are Software Engineers who specialize in reliability. SREs apply the principles of computer science and engineering to the design and development of computer systems: generally, large distributed ones.
