Switching from SWE to SRE
Currently, I’m a mid-level SWE doing mostly feature development, though I also have DevOps experience. I’m starting to get a bit bored with feature development and am more interested in SRE, DevOps, Production Engineering, and Infrastructure Engineering.
I have an offer for a Trade Support Engineer role supporting trading systems, incidents, Linux, monitoring, etc.
Can anyone please explain more about what this type of role typically involves? From the JD, it looks a bit like SRE but with less automation and coding.
Would this be a good transition into roles like Google SRE-SE, AWS Systems Development Engineer, or SRE/Production Engineering roles at HFT firms?
