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?

I just got my Ray-Bans and I chose the polarised grey prescription lenses. However, they seem a bit more transparent compared to the original lenses in the frame. My eyes are really visible. Could I upgrade to a higher tint? Also, do G15 green lenses have a higher tint? Appreciate the advice.
