Tech:Organisation
Behind the scenes, there are various volunteers helping to develop MediaWiki extensions, resolve support tasks, and manage Miraheze's services and infrastructure. Together, they make a group of system administrators. Volunteers are divided among teams and can have different roles. This page documents the roles of all groups and their responsibilities.

Department: Site Reliability Engineering
This is the department that covers the pre-existing technical team members within. The department is responsible for the innovation, security, privacy and administration of IT services, infrastructure, and data of Miraheze. Site Reliability Engineering maintains all Miraheze servers and services, develops new extensions for the community, resolves the requests of the community and advises the Board on information security and privacy matters.

Team: Infrastructure, Site Reliability Engineering
The Infrastructure team ensures Miraheze's services and servers are fast, reliable, and secure. MediaWiki being the key product of Miraheze, Infrastructure is responsible for providing all miscellaneous, yet critical services that make MediaWiki reliable, useful, secure and scalable. Infrastructure develops and maintains the virtual servers, relational databases, media storage, automation tooling, configuration management systems, network, continuous integration and continuous delivery, cache stores and observability platforms.

Position: Engineering Manager, Infrastructure
The Infrastructure Engineering Manager leads the infrastructure team and ensures:
 * appropriate task management for Infrastructure Team tasks,
 * goals are met and kept on track for Infrastructure,
 * the wellbeing and growth of the Infrastructure team.

The Engineering Manager forms part of the SRE Management Team - the team which maintains ultimate responsibility for the running of Miraheze's technical infrastructure.

Position: Site Reliability Engineer, Infrastructure
Site Reliability Engineers support the delivery and maintenance of our virtualised and physical environment. A Site Reliability Engineer is responsible for:
 * Maintaining the virtualised environment, physical hardware and services deployed to ensure routine security fixes are deployed and uptime is maintained.
 * Performing day-to-day work as briefed by the Infrastructure Engineering Manager.
 * Triaging and resolving incoming Phabricator tasks for the Infrastructure Team.
 * Maintaining configuration deployment systems (Puppet).
 * Taking control during incidents and working as a team to mitigate, resolve and prevent future outages.

Position: Data Engineer, Infrastructure
Data Engineers build and maintain infrastructure to allow teams to investigate, analyse, and utilise data to drive decision-making.

 * Building and maintaining data infrastructure, having complete control over the direction and software used.
 * Collaborating with other teams and designing pipelines that deliver effective statistics and metrics to inform product/service delivery.
 * Building and maintaining publicly accessible metrics wherever possible.
 * Monitoring the quality and accuracy of data, alerting relevant teams where possible of discrepancies.

Position: Security Engineer, Infrastructure
Security Engineers develop and implement effective security practices to be engrained within the Infrastructure Team's work. A Security Engineer is responsible for:
 * Building, designing, implementing and monitoring highly effective security processes and protocols that will affect how the Infrastructure team works.
 * Analysing and prioritising incoming security alerts including CVEs and user reports.
 * Working with Trust and Safety and the MediaWiki Team to ensure a collaborative and unique approach to security/privacy.
 * Assisting with Security Reviews for MediaWiki extensions and Content Security Policy requests
 * Leading on security incidents, including postmortem follow-up and liaising with Trust and Safety to establish impact and cause.

Team: MediaWiki, Site Reliability Engineering
The MediaWiki team is responsible for offering the MediaWiki core platform and MediaWiki extensions. They develop in-house extensions, maintain the latest stable version of MediaWiki core and extensions, handle the configuration and feature requests from the community and work with Wikimedia (upstream) and other third-parties.

Position: Engineering Manager, MediaWiki
The MediaWiki Engineering Manager leads the MediaWiki team and ensures:

 * Maintaining the virtualised MediaWiki environment, physical hardware and services deployed to ensure routine security fixes are deployed and uptime is maintained.
 * Performing day-to-day work as briefed by the MediaWiki Engineering Manager.
 * Triaging and resolving incoming Phabricator tasks for the MediaWiki Team.
 * Maintaining configuration deployment systems (Puppet).
 * Taking control during incidents and working as a team to mitigate, resolve, and prevent future outages.
 * Assisting the Infrastructure Team as required.

Position: MediaWiki Engineer, MediaWiki
MediaWiki Engineers support day to day maintenance of the MediaWiki software stack, triaging and resolving incoming requests for support, and assisting Software Engineers and Site Reliability Engineers in their work. A MediaWiki Engineer is also responsible for:
 * Triaging and resolving incoming support requests from the community, internal teams, stakeholders, and third-party providers to ensure they are resolved in a timely manner.
 * Maintaining the MediaWiki application stack, working with other teams where necessary to ensure the stack remains operational and performant.
 * Keeping all software deployed up to date, arranging maintenance windows with and for other teams to maximise uptime.
 * Supporting general operations of the service where possible and requested.

Position: Software Engineer, MediaWiki
Software Engineers develop code to improve the user experience of Miraheze users, build tools that allow communities to grow, and tools that support our valuable volunteers in managing a dynamic and active global community. A Software Engineer is responsible for:
 * Building tools to support volunteers, allow communities to grow, and improve the user experience on the platform.
 * Maintaining existing software we deploy, and support upstream in maintaining software that our users find important to them.
 * Building quality assurance and continuous integration pipelines to support high-quality software being deployed to our servers.
 * Writing performant code which utilises modern caching techniques.

Position: Security Engineer, MediaWiki
Security Engineers develop and implement effective security practices to be engrained within the MediaWiki Team's work. A Security Engineer is responsible for:
