The Role

We are looking for a Senior Observability Engineer to join a high-profile program delivering a up-to-date cloud platform for a large-scale enterprise environment.

This role will play a critical part in shaping and accelerating the observability capability, moving the platform from reactive monitoring to a proactive, data-driven "single pane of glass" view across environments, services, and business-critical workflows.

You will work closely with platform, DevOps, and architecture teams to define and implement observability standards, dashboards, and telemetry strategies using Datadog.

- 5+ years experience in SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering, ideally in complex, distributed environments.
n
- Strong hands‐on experience with Datadog (dashboards, APM, logs, alerting).
n
- Experience working with Kubernetes (EKS preferred) and cloud‐native architectures (AWS).
n
- Experience implementing observability frameworks including metrics, logging, and distributed tracing (e.g. OpenTelemetry).

- Experience working with microservices architectures and distributed systems.

- Ability to collaborate with engineering teams to instrument services and improve telemetry coverage.
n
- Experience translating Non‐Functional Requirements (NFRs) into measurable signals and dashboards.
n
- Strong problem‐solving skills with the ability to operate in fast‐paced, evolving environments.

and learning through iteration.
