Senior Software Engineer II, Observability

• Design, build, and own core observability infrastructure, including highly scalable and reliable logging, metrics, and tracing platforms. • Develop and operate high-throughput telemetry pipelines that ingest, transform, and expose observability data, ensuring reliability, security, and transparent data migrations for platform consumers. • Tackle observability challenges at extreme scale, supporting clusters of thousands of GPUs, petabyte-scale telemetry, and high-cardinality workloads. • Continuously improve performance, security, reliability, and scalability of observability services through software enhancements, automation, and new feature development. • Participate in the team’s on-call rotation to support critical production systems, focusing on root cause analysis and building durable solutions to prevent recurrence. • Collaborate closely with internal engineering teams, applying a platform-as-a-product mindset to understand their needs and embed observability best practices and custom tooling into their systems. • Contribute to the overall observability strategy, influencing the direction of our platform and the experience we provide to customers.

• 5+ years of experience in software or infrastructure engineering, with a proven track record of designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed systems in production. • Proficient in Go (our primary language) or Python, with the ability to write clean, resilient, and testable production code. • Hands-on Kubernetes experience in production, including containerization and microservices architectures, and familiarity with their observability challenges. • Demonstrated experience designing, building, and delivering robust and scalable systems, with a commitment to operational excellence, high-quality code, effective testing, and progressive release strategies. • Ability to analyze and decompose complex problems in elastic, distributed architectures into manageable, well-scoped work. • Comfortable working with Helm and YAML-based configuration for deploying and managing services, including templating, automation, and infrastructure-as-code practices. • A customer-obsessed, platform-minded engineer, eager to provide infrastructure as a service and apply a product lens when evaluating platform scale problems. • Experience participating in an on-call rotation for critical production systems. • Direct, hands-on experience designing, operating, or scaling logging, tracing, and/or metrics platforms (e.g., Loki, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Thanos). • Familiarity with data streaming systems (e.g., Kafka, Kafka Connect) for observability pipelines. • Experience automating and provisioning infrastructure as part of the software development lifecycle, using tools like Terraform. • Experience with OpenTelemetry for unified telemetry collection and instrumentation. • Experience with modern AI platforms and workloads (e.g., large-scale training and inference, GPU-based infrastructure, MLOps tooling) is a plus. The base salary range for this role is $182,000 to $242,000. The starting salary will be determined based on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and market location.
