Staff Infrastructure Engineer — Observability

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Infrastructure Engineer — Observability based in the United States.

You will join a high-impact engineering organization responsible for building and operating the observability backbone of a large-scale, cloud-native platform. This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure, reliability, and platform engineering, with ownership over systems that enable real-time visibility into global production environments. You will design and evolve telemetry platforms that power detection, debugging, and performance optimization across distributed systems. Working across AWS and GCP environments, you will help define how large-scale observability is built, standardized, and automated. This is a deeply technical, hands-on role where architectural decisions directly influence engineering velocity and system reliability. You will also collaborate closely with senior engineers and cross-functional teams to ensure observability is embedded into every layer of the platform.

Accountabilities:

Own the design, architecture, and evolution of large-scale observability systems supporting distributed, cloud-native infrastructure, ensuring high reliability, scalability, and performance.

Build and optimize telemetry platforms using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Thanos/Mimir/Cortex, and OpenTelemetry pipelines
Architect scalable data ingestion, storage, and analysis systems for high-volume production environments
Drive observability strategy across engineering teams, defining standards for monitoring, logging, and tracing
Develop automation and self-service tooling to reduce operational overhead and improve engineering efficiency
Lead reliability improvements across multi-cloud environments (AWS and GCP), balancing performance, cost, and resilience
Own incident response, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement of production observability systems
Mentor engineers, lead technical design reviews, and elevate engineering best practices across teams

Requirements:

This role requires deep experience in infrastructure engineering and large-scale distributed systems, with strong expertise in observability platforms and cloud environments.

8+ years of experience in Infrastructure Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, or similar roles
Strong hands-on expertise with Prometheus, Grafana, Thanos/Mimir/Cortex, and OpenTelemetry
Experience designing and operating cloud-native systems in AWS or GCP environments
Proficiency with Kubernetes-based production environments (EKS, GKE, or equivalent)
Strong infrastructure-as-code skills using Terraform and Ansible
Experience building scalable, high-throughput distributed systems with a focus on reliability and cost efficiency
Strong programming experience in Go or similar languages (Python, Java), with willingness to work in Go
Experience leading technical architecture, mentoring engineers, and collaborating across product and platform teams
Familiarity with secure or regulated environments such as FedRAMP or government-compliant systems is highly valued

Benefits:

Competitive base salary range aligned with experience and location
Equity participation through restricted stock units
Employee stock purchase program
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) retirement plan with employer match
Flexible time off, paid holidays, and sick leave
Parental leave and family support benefits
Wellness, mental health, and lifestyle stipends
Home office and technology support allowances
Professional development and continuous learning opportunities
Additional voluntary benefits including life, disability, and legal coverage
