Senior SRE Engineer

Our top-rated products have won prestigious industry awards for their cutting-edge technology and seamless client experience. We deliver only the best, so we are always in search of the best people to join our ever-growing talented team.

We're building out our observability practice and need a senior engineer who can own it end to end. This is a hands-on role. You'll design and operate the telemetry stack that gives our engineering teams real visibility into production — across a hybrid AWS and on-premise environment, at scale.

Responsibilities:

• Own the full observability stack: metrics (VictoriaMetrics), logs (OpenSearch), and traces (OpenTelemetry) — from pipeline design to day-2 operations.
• Architect and run VictoriaMetrics cluster topology (vmstorage/vminsert/vmselect), including vmagent scraping, remote write configuration, vmalert rules, and cardinality control.
• Operate OpenSearch clusters: index lifecycle management (ISM), hot-warm-cold architecture, shard tuning, and ingest pipelines via Data Prepper.
• Build and maintain OTEL Collector pipelines — receivers, processors, exporters — and instrument services across Java, Python, and JS/TS stacks (auto and manual).
• Run Kafka as the telemetry transport layer (OTEL Collector → Kafka → backends), including topic design, partition strategy, consumer group lag monitoring, and throughput tuning for high-volume telemetry.
• Manage log shipping infrastructure using Fluent Bit, Vector, or Fluentd; define structured logging standards and field normalization across services.
• Build Grafana dashboards and alerting that engineers actually use — clear, actionable, with well-structured variables and thresholds.
• Work with platform and application teams to improve sampling strategies (head/tail), batching, and context propagation across distributed services.
• Contribute to incident response, post-mortems, and reliability improvements driven by observability signals.
