Observability Engineer - Remote

The Observability Engineer is responsible for designing, building, implementing, and administering the tools and pipelines that give the organization full-stack visibility into its infrastructure, applications, and business services. This role owns the day-to-day operation of the observability platform(s) and the NOC/TOC (Network/Technical Operations Center) function to ensure stability, reliability, availability, and performance of the services the business depends on. Where traditional monitoring answered, “is it up or down,” this role is expected to build observability that answers “why is it behaving this way” — correlating metrics, logs, traces, and events into actionable insight, and reducing time-to-detect and time-to-resolve across the environment.
