Time for change

After 4 years building out a team of systems and tooling engineers, I’m taking on a new role within the company. On July 14th, I will be transitioning to the Production Engineering (PE) org helping support a team that is responsible for several key areas of keeping the server fleet healthy.

What does this mean for me personally? Promotion? New car? shoe deal? No to all of those “perks”. Its actually a lateral move level wise. There are some extra compensation aspects to the role being part of the core engineering orgs of the company. But helping support a team that has some critical infrastructure under their per view is part of the appeal for me.

What would you say you do here?

For the past seven years, when people have asked what do I do for work? The answer was either, “I run data centers for Facebook” or if they wanted some additional detail, “I handle the care and feeding of the server fleet”.

Both of these were true and very high level. I have been responsible for Facebook’s Altoona Iowa Data Center on the Site Operations Team. I’m a server nerd at heart and make sure that Facebook, Instagram and the other properties can be served up to connect the world. This is a challenging position and one that requires technical skill, strong partnership and influencing skills, and to build out a great team to be truly successful in what we do.
