Staff Software Engineer, Observability

Required

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 4+ years building or operating observability/monitoring platforms at significant scale (millions of active time series, petabytes of log data).
• Deep expertise in the open-source observability ecosystem. You have operated, tuned, and extended systems like Prometheus, Thanos/Cortex/Mimir, Elasticsearch/ClickHouse, or Loki and understand their internals, failure modes, and cost characteristics.
• Experience with OpenTelemetry for instrumentation across a polyglot services environment.
• Proficiency in Go preferred, with strong experience in Python. You write performant, concurrent systems code, not just glue scripts.
• Strong distributed systems and Kubernetes expertise: sharding, replication, consistency models, monitoring K8s itself and the workloads running on it, and the tradeoffs involved in building reliable data pipelines at scale.
• Experience with observability cost management and capacity planning at scale.
• Track record of setting technical direction and driving adoption across multiple teams. You operate effectively with ambiguity and can translate business needs into technical strategy.
