Engineering Manager - Observability & Cloud Platforms

Job Description

We are partnering with a highly respected enterprise organization that is investing heavily in modern cloud operations, platform reliability, and enterprise observability capabilities. They are seeking an Engineering Leader to drive the strategy, governance, and evolution of a large-scale observability platform that supports critical cloud-native applications and services across the organization.

This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for someone who enjoys building teams, driving operational excellence, and creating scalable observability solutions that improve reliability, performance, and customer experience.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Lead and mentor a team of engineers focused on observability, reliability, and cloud platform operations

• Define and execute the enterprise observability roadmap across metrics, logs, tracing, alerting, and telemetry strategies

• Build scalable monitoring and observability frameworks that improve incident detection, root cause analysis, and operational resilience

• Establish standards for instrumentation, telemetry collection, tagging, dashboards, alerting, and SLO/SLI frameworks

• Partner with architecture, security, operations, and engineering teams to align platform capabilities with business and technology priorities

• Drive adoption of Dev Ops, automation, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud engineering best practices

• Lead initiatives focused on platform scalability, telemetry optimization, reliability engineering, and cost management

• Develop reusable tooling, onboarding capabilities, runbooks, and operational frameworks for engineering teams

• Foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, continuous improvement, and blameless postmortems

What We're Looking For:

• Prior experience leading engineering, platform, cloud, Dev Ops, or observability-focused teams

• Strong understanding of observability tooling such as Datadog, Grafana, Splunk, Prometheus, Azure Monitor, New Relic, or similar platforms

• Experience implementing SLO/SLI frameworks, telemetry standards, and operational reliability practices

• Strong cloud engineering background with AWS, Azure, or GCP

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD automation, Kubernetes, and modern cloud-native architectures

• Ability to communicate effectively across leadership, engineering, and business teams

• Someone who thrives in collaborative environments and enjoys mentoring and developing teams

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Opportunity to lead enterprise-wide observability and reliability strategy

• High visibility role with strong influence across technology leadership

• Modern cloud-native engineering environment focused on innovation and automation

• Collaborative culture with strong executive support and long-term investment in technology

• Opportunity to shape engineering standards, operational maturity, and platform strategy across the organization

• Strong career growth potential within a stable enterprise environment

If you're passionate about cloud operations, observability, platform engineering, and leading teams that drive reliability at scale, we'd love to connect with you.
