This team delivers the managed logs experience and self-service observability capabilities that let customers collect, search, and act on their telemetry without filing a ticket or waiting on us. You will own product surfaces end to end, from the APIs and backend services through the onboarding and configuration experience, with a strong focus on reliability and ease of use. This is a full-time position., * Owning Customer-Facing Services: Design, build, and operate the services behind our managed logs product, including ingestion endpoints, query APIs, retention and access controls, and the workflows customers use to onboard and configure them. * Self-Service Experience: Turn workflows that today require manual steps or internal involvement into clean, low-touch product experiences. Build the APIs, defaults, and guardrails that let customers get to value quickly and safely on their own. * Scalable Design: Design services that are highly scalable, durable, and reliable while staying simple to use. Reason about multi-tenancy, quota and limits, cost visibility, and predictable behavior under heavy customer load. * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product, cloud support, and site reliability teams to understand where customers get stuck, and turn that feedback into roadmap items and shipped improvements. * Operational Excellence: Participate in a customer-facing on-call rotation. Improve alerting quality, runbooks, and automation so the product gets easier to operate as it grows, not harder. * Innovation: Implement features that differentiate Crusoe Cloud's observability offering, focusing on low-touch adoption, sensible defaults, and turn-key integration with the AI workloads our customers run. ## Related Videos - [We adopted DevOps and are Cloud-native, Now What?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/485-we-adopted-devops-and-are-cloud-native-now-what) - [The Power of Purpose: Unlocking Potential and Innovation](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1110-the-power-of-purpose-unlocking-potential-and-innovation) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [It's Not Vibe Coding If You Know What You're Doing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100119-it-s-not-vibe-coding-if-you-know-what-you-re-doing) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Best Software Developer Blogs to Read](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/156-the-best-software-developer-blogs-to-read) - [Dev Digest 131 - AI'm not sure about OSS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/472-dev-digest-131-ai-m-not-sure-about-oss) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
