Job Description — Observability Engineer / Platform Engineer
Role Overview
We are looking for a mid-level Observability Engineer / Platform Engineer to support our transition from a self-managed observability stack to a more standardized and fully managed/SaaS model.

This position is ideal for someone with solid hands-on skills in observability tools and cloud-native environments, who is ready to contribute to a structured migration initiative.
Key Responsibilities
Support the improvement and streamlining of our observability platform across logging, metrics, and tracing.
Assist in the migration from a self-hosted stack to a managed/SaaS observability platform.
Work with engineering teams to establish consistent dashboards, alerts, and basic service monitoring practices.
Help define and roll out foundational observability standards (dashboards, alerting rules, instrumentation basics).
Ensure data collection pipelines (agents/collectors) are configured, stable, and efficient.
Contribute to ongoing health, reliability, and performance of the observability tooling.
Collaborate with platform, application, and security teams on integration and onboarding tasks.

Strong troubleshooting skills—able to investigate issues across applications and infrastructure.
Good communication skills: able to explain monitoring requirements to engineers and stakeholders.
Nice-to-Have Skills
Exposure to Grafana Cloud or other SaaS observability services.
Knowledge of SLIs/SLOs and reliability best practices.
Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid observability data sources.
Understanding of network fundamentals (VPCs, connectivity concepts).
