  • Implement observability solutions using Datadog, including dashboards, monitors, and distributed tracing
  • Apply SRE principles including Service Level Objectives (SLOs), error budgets, and proactive reliability improvements
  • Troubleshoot complex distributed systems and resolve platform issues before they impact development teams
  • Collaborate closely with software engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to continuously improve the internal developer platform

Requirements

  • Experience designing, implementing, and managing internal developer platforms, preferably using Backstage
  • Strong experience improving developer experience (DevX) through self-service tooling and workflow automation
  • Expertise with TypeScript, Node.js, React, Python, and JavaScript
  • Experience developing custom Backstage plugins and software templates
  • Strong knowledge of AWS and/or GCP cloud platforms, with familiarity across both environments
