TL;DR · Senior Observability Automation Engineer

As a Senior Observability Automation Engineer, you will join the team responsible for building the internal infrastructure and systems that detect and resolve technical failures across the organization. You will translate ambiguous business needs into architected, automatable systems by developing an agentic AI platform to power observability and automated issue detection. Your daily work involves designing cross-region-resilient tooling, re-architecting legacy processes into secure self-service tools, and building resilient data collection pipelines for telemetry. You will utilize C# or Go, manage RESTful API web services, and leverage cloud infrastructure, DevOps toolchains, and Infrastructure as Code. Additionally, you will use Bash, Perl, Python, PowerShell, Grafana, and Splunk to ensure performance visibility. This role solves the critical problem of maintaining system reliability by creating the automated "factory" that monitors and protects core production environments.

What you'll do

  • Translate ambiguous business requirements into architected, detectable, and automatable systems from prototype to production.
  • Develop and expand a proprietary, cloud-hosted agentic AI platform for observability and automated issue detection.
  • Design 24/7, cross-region-resilient infrastructure for business-critical tooling used across the entire organization.
  • Re-architect legacy applications into secure, controlled, and self-service tools with integrated guardrails.
  • Build and maintain resilient data collection pipelines and self-service monitoring frameworks for internal teams.
  • Integrate observability tools into CI/CD pipelines and manage cross-environment telemetry data.
  • Perform performance tuning and incident resolution for all systems related to company-wide observability.
  • Own the full lifecycle of products, including development, deployment, and event-driven on-call support.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
  • Advanced degree with at least 6 years of experience or a Bachelor's degree with at least 8 years of experience.
  • Proficiency in C# (preferred) or Go.
  • Expertise in software development and system integration for observability platforms.
  • Advanced proficiency with monitoring frameworks, analytics tools, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Experience with Linux and Windows scripting using Bash, Perl, Python, or PowerShell.
  • Proven track record designing observability systems and managing CI/CD pipeline integrations.
  • Must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S.
