We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer II with a passion for observability, and a desire to define their career by contributing to our mission critical observability platform that operates at global scale; across the big three cloud providers, a hundred regions, thousands of clusters and tens of thousands of nodes. At this scale, every contribution you make will have an enormous impact on how we develop and operate our global data streaming platform. This role will let you flex a wide range of skills; where UX design and mega scale system design are equally important, where improving developer velocity and compute resource efficiency can be equally satisfying.

Define and implement the building blocks for querying, visualizing and acting on 300M+ active time series using Grafana, Prometheus, AlertManager, and PagerDuty

Work directly with product engineering teams, on calls, and incident commanders to evangelize and deliver enhancements to our observability platform

Requirements:

5+ years building distributed systems in Java, Golang or Python and running in k8s
2+ years on an SRE, DevOps, observability, or similar platform engineering team delivering capabilities to multiple product engineering teams
Deep experience in the use of Prometheus, AlertManager, and Grafana
Experience with operating in-house observability infrastructure and being on-call for it
BS, MS, or PhD in computer science or a related field, or equivalent work experience

Nice to have:

Experience operating highly scalable observability backends (VictoriaMetrics, Cortex, Thanos, Mimir, Tempo, Loki, Elastic, etc)
Experience federating multiple observability backends that cross cloud regions
You’ve built and operated k8s clusters on an infrastructure or SRE team in AWS, GCP, and Azure
You’ve taken a platform approach to problem solving by building your own OTel collector components, k8s custom resources and k8s operators
