Role OverviewWe are looking for an Observability Engineer to design and operate the metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting platforms that give engineering teams confidence in the systems they run. The role spans the full observability stack — from collection agents and pipelines to long-term storage, dashboards, and alerting workflows — with a strong focus on usability, signal quality, and operational ROI.
What You Will Do
Design and operate enterprise-grade observability platforms covering metrics, logs, traces, events, and synthetic monitoring. Architect Prometheus / Thanos / Mimir, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry, and Datadog deployments for high availability and scale.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate has built and operated observability platforms at scale, understands the trade-offs between open-source and SaaS approaches, and can translate noisy telemetry into actionable insight for both engineers and business stakeholders.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
- Ten or more years of experience in SRE, platform engineering, or observability roles.
- Deep hands-on experience with Prometheus, Grafana, and at least one major commercial observability platform such as Datadog, New Relic, or Splunk.
- Strong understanding of OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, and structured logging.
- Proficiency in at least one general-purpose language such as Go, Python, or Java.
- Experience operating high-cardinality, high-throughput metrics and log pipelines.
- Strong understanding of SLOs, error budgets, and SRE principles.
- Experience integrating observability with CI/CD and incident management tooling.
- Solid grasp of Linux internals, networking, and container platforms.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
Benefits
- Salary Range: $100,000–$160,000 Annually
