Mid Cloud Observability Engineer

Build observability dashboards and alerts using AWS CloudWatch and X-Ray

Design and implement observability frameworks using metrics, logs, and distributed tracing across AWS services. Build and improve dashboards, optimize alerts, and standardize observability practices across engineering teams. Work with development and platform teams to instrument microservices, serverless, and data services for end-to-end visibility.

Why This Role?

Work on improving system reliability and reducing alert noise at scale in AWS

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and improve dashboards using AWS CloudWatch
  • Optimize alerts to reduce fatigue and false positives
  • Instrument applications with tracing and metrics using OpenTelemetry
  • Standardize logging and telemetry practices across engineering teams
  • Collaborate with development teams to improve system observability
  • Participate in on-call rotations and support release stability

Requirements

  • Experience with AWS services including CloudWatch, X-Ray, Lambda, ECS/EKS
  • Hands-on experience with observability tools like Datadog, Splunk, or Dynatrace
  • Understanding of containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
