Platform Specialist - Observability

As a Platform Specialist on the Observability team, you will play a crucial technical role in delivering and evolving the monitoring, logging, tracing and alerting platforms that engineers across the firm rely on to understand and run their systems, using the Dev Ops methodology. You will work with internal and external stakeholders to build and maintain automated, self-service observability services that are reliable, secure and scalable across multiple regions.

You will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the quality of telemetry the firm depends on, owning the platform end to end, from data collection and ingestion through storage, querying, dashboards and alerting. You will shape both the architecture and the user experience of the platform, and look for ways to reduce operational noise and make it easy for teams to get value from their data.
