SRE ensures that Google Cloud's services—both our internally critical and our externally‑visible systems—have reliability, uptime appropriate to customer's needs and a fast rate of improvement. Additionally SRE will keep an ever‑watchful eye on our systems capacity and performance. Much of our software development focuses on optimizing existing systems, building infrastructure and eliminating work through automation.

SRE’s culture of intellectual curiosity, problem solving and openness is key to its success. Our organization brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big and take risks in a blame‑free environment. We promote self‑direction to work on meaningful projects, while we also strive to create an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow. Core Enterprise System (CES) SRE is part of Corporate Engineering‑Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). We provide SRE support to Enterprise applications within Google, powering key verticals such as Finance, Legal, Supply Chain, and HR.
