Git Hub’s Observability Delivery team builds and operates the company-wide pipelines for logs, metrics, traces, and exceptions that engineers rely on to monitor and diagnose their services. These systems handle telemetry from across Git Hub at high scale. Keeping them reliable and efficient as demand grows is a constant engineering challenge.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys solving challenges across software and infrastructure. You’ll write and operate services, deploy and configure observability tools, and make architectural decisions about how telemetry moves through our systems. You’ll lead work to improve pipeline capacity, reliability, and efficiency while partnering with service teams throughout Git Hub. If you enjoy making critical, large-scale infrastructure dependable and easier to operate, we’d also love to hear from you.

• Design, build, and operate high-scale pipelines for logs, metrics, traces, and exceptions, balancing capacity, reliability, performance, and cost.
• Lead cross-team work to identify and remove scaling bottlenecks, improve how telemetry is collected and processed, and safely evolve critical production infrastructure.
• Write and maintain production software, primarily in Go and Ruby, while configuring and integrating open-source and commercial observability tools.
• Work across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, virtual machines, networking, and service connectivity to make distributed systems dependable and operable.
• Partner with service teams to understand their observability needs and improve the tools they use to diagnose and maintain their services.
• Own system health through monitoring, incident response, on-call participation, and improvements informed by operational experience.
• Provide technical leadership through design proposals, reviews, mentoring, and collaboration across teams.
