SRE Hiring

Andrew Fong, Dropbox

Abstract: 

Hiring SREs can be one of the most challenging tasks an organization can undertake. This talk will discuss best practices around recruiting, evaluating and hiring SREs into your organization. During this talk we will explore how to do this from first principles, what best practices tend to be, and how we applied them when building the foundation of SRE at Dropbox.

Andrew leads the SRE teams at Dropbox. Prior to Dropbox, he worked at YouTube, helping to scale their infrastructure. He was previously at AOL running proxy/cache and video search infrastructure.
