* Something to coordinate a trillion services
What you actually end up needing:
* Someone to make people fix flaky tests
* Someone to teach people how to monitor the right APM after flipping a feature flag

Also: engineering and sales are the most important teams and it isn't particularly close.
This is such an important but uncomfortable truth that you can use it as a filter for whether someone actually has real tech operating experience.
