Job description

  • Partner directly with strategic customers to build production applications, ship technical artifacts used in production workflows, codify repeatable deployment patterns, and represent the company in highly ambiguous enterprise environments.
  • Partner with Engineers and customers to understand use cases, workflows, and technical requirements.
  • Build and maintain backend services, integrations, automations, and lightweight full stack experiences using Python and JavaScript or TypeScript.
  • Implement REST API, webhook, and SDK based integrations that normalize, enrich, and route operational data into LogicMonitor Edwin AI.
  • Instrument and troubleshoot telemetry across logs, metrics, traces, and related workflow data, including OpenTelemetry based pipelines where appropriate.
  • Configure and deploy solutions in SaaS, hybrid cloud, and customer managed environments, with working familiarity across containers, Kubernetes, CI or CD, and infrastructure automation.
  • Define or refine dashboards, alerting, service boundaries, and reliability workflows so customer teams can operate what is deployed.
  • Partner during go live, hypercare, and troubleshooting periods to drive adoption, reduce friction, and make the solution durable in production.
  • Convert repeated field learnings into templates, playbooks, reusable components, and product feedback for core engineering and product teams.

Technical Execution

  • Write clean, maintainable code across backend and frontend systems, commonly using Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and React.
  • Implement integrations with third-party systems using APIs and SDKs.
  • Support testing, debugging, and optimization of deployed solutions.
  • Follow engineering best practices for reliability, security, and performance.
  • Contribute to internal documentation and knowledge sharing.
  • Reusable artifacts created, such as templates, integration patterns, playbooks, or productized improvements.

Prototype & Iterate

  • Help develop MVPs and proof-of-concept solutions to validate customer use cases.
  • Incorporate feedback from customers and internal stakeholders to refine functionality.
  • Support the transition of validated solutions into scalable product capabilities in collaboration with product and core engineering teams.

Customer & Partner Collaboration

  • Participate in technical discussions with customers and partners alongside senior engineers.
  • Provide implementation support and troubleshooting during deployments.
  • Share insights and feedback from customer engagements with internal teams to improve product quality and usability.
  • Production deployments launched and adopted by named customer teams.
  • Time to first value, such as first workflow live, first integration live, or first meaningful AI investigation or automation in production.
  • Measurable workflow impact, such as reduced manual triage, faster incident handling, lower alert noise, or improved operational efficiency.
  • Strong implementation quality, documentation quality, and stakeholder satisfaction.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field.
  • 4-7 years of experience in backend or data systems engineering.
  • Experience building streaming data pipelines (Kafka / Spark or any similar technology).
  • Strong programming background in Java and Python, including microservice design.
  • Experience with ETL, data modeling, and distributed storage systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to ship clean, production quality code in Java or Python plus JavaScript or TypeScript, whether gained in software engineering, platform engineering, solutions engineering, SRE, or technical consulting.
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate external systems using APIs, SDKs, authentication controls, payload mapping, and schema validation.
  • Working knowledge of observability fundamentals, including logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerting, root cause investigation, and incident workflows.
  • Familiarity with OpenTelemetry concepts and telemetry pipelines, including how data is instrumented, collected, and routed across systems.
  • Working knowledge of modern cloud and deployment tooling such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, containers, Kubernetes, CI or CD, and infrastructure automation tools.
  • Practical exposure to AI application patterns such as LLM APIs, agents or workflows, evaluation basics, and the observability of AI systems in production.
  • Strong debugging judgment, systems thinking, and the ability to make progress in ambiguous customer environments.
  • Awareness of data governance, validation, and lineage best practices.
  • Strong communication and collaboration across AI, Data, and Platform teams.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to engineers, product teams, and customer stakeholders.
  • Nice to have: ServiceNow or Jira workflows, automation tooling such as Ansible, Terraform, or Rundeck, and familiarity with MCP or similar integration patterns.
