SRE at a Start-Up: Lessons from LinkedIn

Craig Sebenik, Matterport

Abstract: 

Many large companies have strong SRE teams that are a great example to follow. But, applying the techniques seen at larger companies to a smaller company has many challenges. Bringing about change is a combination of culture shifts as well as technical challenges. In this talk, I will discuss many of the concepts that worked at LinkedIn and how I have gradually implemented them over the past year and a half at a start-up.

Craig has been a researcher, a software developer, a sysadmin, and most recently, an SRE. He has worked for Fortune 500 companies as well as small startups. He has been programming since grade school and you will find him in front of a computer as often as possible. While he worked for a couple of startups doing SRE-type work, he learned a great deal from his (nearly) four years at LinkedIn. He is currently working at Matterport, a startup working on 3D technology.

He spent a couple years at Le Cordon Bleu in Sydney and another year studying Italian cuisine in Florence (Including working in the kitchen of a restaurant). He prefers pastry over cuisine...but is happy to talk about anything related to food.
