As an Observability DevOps Engineer specializing in observability platforms, the role will play a pivotal role in enhancing the visibility, reliability, and performance of systems and applications. Leveraging expertise in modern technologies and protocols, the engineer will be responsible for implementing and maintaining robust observability solutions to monitor, analyse, and troubleshoot distributed systems.
This position requires passion about leveraging observability platforms to drive operational excellence and thrive in a dynamic, collaborative environment. It also requires strong technical skills in AWS, Terraform, Git workflows, and a deep understanding of DevOps principles.
- Design, deploy, and maintain observability platforms and tools such as Prometheus, Grafana LGTM+ stack, OTel and others to provide comprehensive insights into system behaviour and performance.
- Collaborate with development, operations, and other cross-functional teams to integrate observability solutions into the CI/CD pipeline and automate monitoring and alerting processes.
- Develop custom monitoring solutions and instrumentation libraries to capture relevant metrics, logs, traces, and events across microservices architectures.
- Configure and optimize telemetry collection, storage, and visualization components to ensure scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
- Implement anomaly detection algorithms and predictive analytics to proactively identify and mitigate potential issues before they impact users.
- Conduct thorough root cause analysis of incidents and performance bottlenecks, leveraging observability data to drive continuous improvement initiatives.
- Stay abreast of emerging trends, best practices, and industry standards in observability, and assess their applicability to the environment.
- Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior team members, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and collaboration.
- Form part of a 24/7 on-call roster to support the engineering team during out-of-office incident calls.
