Develop observability capabilities, enabling proactive monitoring and faster incident resolution.
You will facilitate incident management, driving root cause analysis and continuous improvement.
You'll collaborate with engineering teams to embed reliability, resilience, and performance into every stage of delivery.
We're looking for these essential skills
Software engineering and design experience (preferably Typescript or .net/C#), to build and improve production systems, apply solid design principles, and contribute directly to codebases to deliver reliable, scalable, and maintainable services.
The ability to automate infrastructure, operational processes, and deployments using modern engineering practices.
Experience building effective observability solutions, including monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing.
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex production issues.
The ability to influence technical decisions and collaborate effectively across engineering and business teams.
It's a plus if you also have these skills
Experience operating Kubernetes-based platforms at scale.
