Role: Senior DevOps/Observability Engineer
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior DevOps/Observability Engineer with over 8 years of experience to lead the design and implementation of our next-generation, unified observability platform. This pivotal role will focus on architecting a sophisticated observability pipeline from the ground up, leveraging a modern, open-source-centric stack on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in designing and deploying observability solutions, with a strong emphasis on OpenTelemetry (OTel) and Kubernetes observability. You will be responsible for deploying, configuring, and integrating a suite of tools including Prometheus, Grafana, and Splunk to provide comprehensive insights into our complex, distributed systems. This is a hands-on role for a technical leader who is passionate about building scalable, reliable, and efficient monitoring and logging systems.
What You Will Do
- Design and implement end-to-end observability pipelines using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana on centralized infrastructure.
- Centralize AWS telemetry, including multi-account CloudTrail organization trails, cross-account CloudWatch metrics/logs, and VPC Flow Logs.
- Design log aggregation strategies, implement noise reduction/filtering at the collector level, and configure Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC) integrations.
- Build comprehensive alerting frameworks using Alertmanager and CloudWatch Alarms, coupled with advanced dashboard engineering in Grafana (using PromQL).
- Write Terraform modules for deploying and managing observability stacks and EC2 infrastructure.
- Manage, route, and optimize log pipelines at massive scale (TB/day).
- Deploy Prometheus and OTel within Kubernetes (EKS) or containerized (ECS) environments.
- Reduce observability spend through strategic metric dropping, log filtering, and efficient storage tiering.
What Is In It For You
- Join one of the world’s fastest-growing AI-first digital engineering companies and make a real impact at scale.
- Lead and collaborate with a high-energy team of talented, driven individuals solving complex, meaningful challenges.
- Work with Fortune 500 companies and disruptive innovators in a research-driven environment with 60+ patents.
- Stay ahead of the curve by gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI, ML, data, and cloud technologies while continuously upskilling.
