TL;DR

As a Senior Observability Infrastructure Engineer at Adyen, you will join the Platform Engineering team to build and maintain observability pillars on-premise and in Kubernetes environments. Your daily tasks include designing and implementing next-generation logging and metrics systems, managing over 1,500 servers across bare-metal and Kubernetes setups, and automating operational tasks with Go or Python to reduce manual intervention. You will optimize performance for high-volume data streams by tuning Elasticsearch clusters and optimizing Prometheus storage while ensuring regulatory compliance in different regions. Additionally, you will participate in on-call rotations but focus primarily on engineering solutions that prevent alerts from firing, upgrade the stack, and enhance self-service capabilities through automated guardrails and quota management. Ideal candidates have 10+ years of experience with observability stacks like Elasticsearch, Prometheus, and Grafana Tempo, along with deep Linux expertise and hands-on Kubernetes production experience.
