Vetting

How we vet Site Reliability Engineers

Every site reliability engineer sits the Cubehire AI interview: multiple choice fundamentals, a timed written and coding round, and a recorded video round. A person on our team then reviews the profile before any company sees it. For this role, the interview checks that they can:

  1. Check 1

    Defines SLOs for a real service and explains how alerts should follow from them.

  2. Check 2

    Walks through handling a live incident, from first alert to postmortem.

  3. Check 3

    Finds the cause of rising latency using metrics and traces in a scenario.

DevOps is a set of practices for shipping software. SRE applies software engineering to operations with measurable reliability targets, error budgets and a strong focus on reducing manual work.
When outages or slowdowns start affecting customers, when on call is burning out your developers, or when you sign contracts with uptime commitments.
Yes. Many SREs cover US overnight hours from their time zone, which can take pressure off your local team.
Prometheus, Grafana and OpenTelemetry for open source stacks, and Datadog, New Relic or Honeycomb where those are already in place.
A flat rate quoted before you interview anyone: a one time fee for full time placements, or a fixed monthly rate for contract work. There is no percentage of salary. See the pricing page for current rates.
