Requirements

• Experience building or significantly expanding cloud observability capabilities in production environments.
• Strong automation skills to reduce manual and repetitive work.
• Ability to ask probing questions and understand problems deeply before proposing solutions.
• Comfortable working across infrastructure, cloud, Kubernetes, telemetry, automation, and collaborating with people.
• Pragmatic approach balancing engineering quality, usability, and delivery.
• Ability to make progress without perfect requirements.
• Understanding that platform adoption is as important as technical design.
• Ownership mindset focused on outcomes rather than just completing tickets.
• Strong systems thinking, curiosity, and willingness to adapt based on new information.
• Experience or ability to work with technologies including AWS, EKS/Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch, Prometheus-compatible metrics, VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, Alertmanager, Grafana, PagerDuty, Terraform, Python, and Go.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and build standard cloud observability patterns for AWS and EKS.
• Develop telemetry collection and distribution at scale across a multi-account AWS estate.
• Translate AWS telemetry into patterns that integrate with existing metrics, logs, and alerting platforms.
• Deploy observability components while avoiding circular dependencies in the platform.
• Integrate cloud telemetry with service ownership data to map alerts and dashboards to real services and owners.
• Build or integrate logs, metrics, and alerting platforms, including storage, routing, retention, and PagerDuty integration.
• Support retrospective deployment of observability standards across existing cloud workloads.
• Create repeatable onboarding patterns for consistent observability adoption in new cloud workloads.
• Automate user configuration for alert rules, scrape targets, dashboards, and team-consumable patterns.
• Reduce operational toil through automation, standardization, and clear platform patterns.
• Collaborate closely with Observability, Cloud, Platform Engineering, and service-owning teams to ensure platform practicality and adoption.

Nice to Haves

• Experience specifically with VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, Alertmanager, Terraform, Python, or Go or similar tools.
• Understanding of underlying observability concepts beyond specific vendor tooling.

Perks and Benefits
