You will be a trusted expert, helping to define and implement the strategy and building the tools that empower our engineers. You will support the roadmap to mature our observability stack, moving from cloud-native tools to a robust, scalable, and insightful platform built on best-in-class technologies (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, etc.). If you are an SRE who thrives on platform-building challenges and wants to be relied upon to build a production-grade observability stack from the ground up, this role is for you., * 4+ years of experience in an SRE or platform engineering role, with a focus on observability for large-scale, distributed compute or network systems. * Deep, hands-on expertise building, scaling, and managing observability platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Loki/ELK, OpenTelemetry, Tempo/Jaeger, Honeycomb, etc.). You have proven experience using these tools to support performance analysis and debugging of complex distributed systems. * Strong production-level experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Kubernetes. * Experience using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps principles (e.g., ArgoCD). * Proficiency in a systems programming language, with a strong preference for Go and Python for debugging and writing tooling. * Demonstrable experience defining, implementing, and managing SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets for production services for high availability distributed systems., * Experience operating a multi-cloud environment, specifically GCP and AWS. * Hands-on experience with GitLab CI for CI/CD pipelines. * Working knowledge of service mesh technologies such as Istio or Linkerd. * Familiarity with instrumenting applications written in Go and C++. * An active Secret clearance, or higher, is preferred for this position. * Experience with JVM observability (tuning, monitoring) for Java-based applications., * U.S. citizen or national * U.S. lawful permanent resident (green card holder) * Refugee under 8 U.S.C. 1157 * Asylee under 8 U.S.C. 1158 (B) Be eligible to access export-controlled information without requiring an export authorization. (C) Be eligible and reasonably likely to obtain the necessary export authorization from the appropriate U.S. government agency. ## Description * Help design and build Aalyria's centralized observability platform, integrating and scaling tools for metrics (e.g. Prometheus), logging (e.g. Loki), and distributed tracing (e.g. Tempo/OpenTelemetry). * Define, implement, and manage a robust framework of Service Level Objectives (SLOs), Service Level Indicators (SLIs), and error budgets for our core products, ensuring we are launch-ready. * Partner with SWEs to implement observability best practices, develop standard templates and documentation, and configure tooling (e.g., OpenTelemetry libraries). * Automate the deployment, scaling, and management of the entire observability stack using Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform) and GitOps principles (e.g. ArgoCD). * Partner closely with the core infrastructure team to ensure deep visibility into our Kubernetes clusters and underlying GCP and AWS environments. * Develop and lead the company's monitoring, alerting, and incident response strategy, driving a culture of proactive reliability and blameless post-mortems. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [The Power of Purpose: Unlocking Potential and Innovation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1110-the-power-of-purpose-unlocking-potential-and-innovation) - [5 steps for running a Kubernetes environment at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/88-5-steps-for-running-a-kubernetes-environment-at-scale) - [All your telemetry data from any source in one place](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/57-all-your-telemetry-data-from-any-source-in-one-place) - [Handling incidents collaboratively is like solving a rubix cube](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/680-handling-incidents-collaboratively-is-like-solving-a-rubix-cube) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Best Job Search Websites of 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/368-the-best-job-search-websites-of-2025) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
