Hire Site Reliability Engineers
SRE is a discipline pioneered at Google that applies software engineering to operations problems. Site reliability engineers own uptime targets, incident response, capacity planning, and the observability stack. They write code to automate toil and build systems that self-heal. The SRE talent pool overlaps with DevOps but is more specialized - strong SREs bring a quantitative mindset around error budgets and SLOs that distinguishes them from general infrastructure engineers.
