Welcome to SREGrowth

Hi there, and welcome to SREGrowth — a newsletter for Site Reliability Engineers and platform engineers who want to advance their careers with intention.

I’m Matt Long, a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Personio, and I started this newsletter to share the insights, strategies, and stories I wish I’d had earlier in my SRE career. Whether it’s navigating promotions, building influence in your org, or understanding what Staff SREs actually do, SREGrowth is here to give you practical guidance you can act on.

Expect a mix of content:

• Quick, actionable observations

• Deep dives into career stories and strategies

• Interviews with experienced SREs

• Data and frameworks that help you make smarter career moves

I’ll be posting every Friday at 09:00 CET. My goal is simple: help you grow, level up, and take control of your SRE career — one idea at a time.

Thanks for subscribing, and I can’t wait to share the first issue with you!

— Matt
