Responsibilities

We're looking for a hands-on Platform/Observability Engineer to join our infrastructure team. You'll own and evolve our observability stack - from logging pipelines and tracing to metrics and alerting - across a multi-datacenter, Kubernetes-based environment. This is a production-first role: you'll be expected to ship, iterate, and improve systems under real delivery pressure, not just design them on paper.

You'll work closely with other infra and product engineering teams to improve observability coverage, reduce operational toil, and help the broader organization adopt better practices.

Tech Stack Highlights: OpenTelemetry · Kafka · Vector · VictoriaMetrics · EKS · Kubernetes · Logging pipelines · Distributed tracing · SPM· AWS

What You'll Work On

Designing, deploying, and maintaining production observability stacks (logs, metrics, traces)

Scaling observability infrastructure across multiple data centers and Kubernetes clusters
