SRE ensures that internal and external services meet or exceed reliability and performance expectations while adhering to Equifax engineering principles.

  SRE is also an engineering approach to building and running production systems – we engineer solutions to operational problems. Our SREs are responsible for overall system operation and we use a breadth of tools and approaches to solve a broad set of problems. Practices such as limiting time spent on operational work, blameless postmortems, proactive identification, and prevention of potential outages.

  • Monitoring and Alerting: Design and implement comprehensive monitoring and alerting systems to proactively identify and resolve issues. Develop and maintain dashboards to track key performance indicators (KPIs).

  • Incident Management: Lead incident response efforts, conducting thorough post-incident reviews to identify root causes and implement preventative measures.

  • Capacity Planning: Proactively identify and address capacity constraints to ensure optimal system performance and availability.

  • Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, product, and security teams to ensure seamless collaboration and alignment on system requirements and priorities.

  • Mentorship: Mentor and guide junior SRE/DevOps engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

  • On-call Rotation: Participate in a rotating on-call schedule to provide 24/7 support for critical systems.

  • Security: Contribute to the security posture of our systems by implementing security best practices and participating in security audits and reviews.
