Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)[1]. Read the SRE book (https://landing.google.com/sre/books/ https://landing.google.com/sre/books/). Study any gaps you have. Tailor your resume and talking points to the job/direction you want, meaning de-emphasize some things, while still showing your career path and depth. Look to work at a big-ish company that is respected for engineering quality, where you can learn from others and from existing good practices. It doesn't need to be a Google or Facebook sized company, something around the size of Dropbox, Lyft, Stripe, and similar would be good.
[1] Really, "Development (full stack), server admin, data center management, DevOps, project management, managing teams, VoIP, routing/switching" is a perfect fit for SRE, and SRE probably is the most in-demand and highly paid of all the related fields (software development, etc.).
- epiphanitus 7y agoIt’s a fun challenge depending on the company, but before taking a job like that ask about on-call schedules so you know what you’re getting into.
