About

We are looking for a Mid-Level Observability Engineer to help implement, operate, and improve observability capabilities across our applications and platforms. This role focuses on hands-on onboarding, instrumentation, dashboarding, and alerting, working under established standards and guidance from senior engineers. You will collaborate with application, SRE, and operations teams to ensure systems are observable, supportable, and production-ready.

• Implement and maintain metrics, logs, and traces for applications and infrastructure.
• Assist with onboarding applications into observability platforms (e.g., Dynatrace, ELK, Datadog).
• Configure dashboards, alerts, and basic anomaly detection.
• Work with development teams to enable structured logging, basic distributed tracing, and core metrics.
• Validate observability requirements during Production Readiness Reviews (PRR).
• Troubleshoot missing or low-quality telemetry.
• Configure alerts based on golden signals (latency, errors, traffic, saturation).
• Help reduce alert noise by tuning thresholds and alert logic.
• Support incident response by gathering logs, metrics, and traces.
• Support root cause analysis using observability tools.
• Maintain dashboards and documentation used by on-call and support teams.
• Participate in on-call rotations (as applicable).
• Assist in automating observability onboarding and validation tasks.
• Create and maintain reusable dashboards and alert templates.
• Follow established observability standards and best practices.

Required Qualifications

• 4 years of experience in Observability, or SRE.
• Working knowledge of metrics, logs, and basic tracing concepts.

• Basic understanding of SLIs, SLOs and service health indicators.
• Experience with cloud platforms or hybrid environments.
• Ability to write scripts (Python, Bash, PowerShell) for automation and troubleshooting.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Open Telemetry or APM agents.
