Lead Principal Platform Software Engineer joins the team building a state-of-the-art observability platform providing visibility and operational intelligence for internal cloud services and customer workloads. This individual contributor role involves designing, developing, and operating cloud-scale platforms for metrics, logs, traces, and telemetry data. The engineer will architect resilient systems for high-throughput ingestion, large-scale processing, cost-efficient storage, and low-latency query execution while mentoring other engineers and driving technical strategy. Key requirements include proficiency in Java, Go, C, C++, and Python, along with experience in concurrent programming, multi-tenant services, and cloud technologies like Terraform. The role addresses complex distributed systems problems to solve the challenge of managing massive volumes of telemetry data within a hyperscale environment. Candidates must navigate high-cardinality metrics and ensure reliability across the entire observability stack for mission-critical infrastructure.
