Is this TEAM? There's a nasty issue with companies trying to emulate Google on "all the things" and it usually doesn't work, since often times these organizational structures are a natural evolution of where a company came from, but you aren't that company... Best SRE/QE model I've experienced was with a couple of these guys being embedded into a dev team (reporting structure didn't really matter), such that they participated in the team meetings and rituals, becoming domain experts. One fellow eventually learned the SAML2.0 spec inside out and was invaluable for catching bugs. I suppose being embedded but reporting up through a different org did have it's benefit: namely, the consistent dissemination of best practices across the company, but with a judicious eye to applicable context that the current do-it-all-swe cannot with the current SRE ivory tower model. The do-it-all-swe model has yielded trash QE/observability in my experience.
