Does Amazon have an equivalent position as an SRE?
1 comments

Yes, but Amazon uses the job title "Software Development Engineer" instead of SRE.
Pretty sure you're being facetious, but yes, each team of SDEs is responsible for their own operations. Reliability Engineer positions do exist, but there doesn't seem to be a company-wide standard job title.

There is a group (Operational Excellence) that focuses on things you'd expect SREs to focus on, but I think they focus more on building the tools than actual operational support.
