Our team is in the core TomTom live services. We connect with all DevOps teams and make sure that there is a good as possible customer experience when there is an incident and minimize the MTTR (Mean time to resolve). We also focus on reducing the number of incidents as we participate in improvement actions with a focus on automation and reliability setup.

Our Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) are a hybrid of software and systems engineers. We code our way out of operational problems. We are responsible for reliability, scalability, and automation while keeping an eye on latency, performance and capacity as well as other KPI’s.
