📋 Description

• Help design and build Aalyria's centralized observability platform, integrating and scaling tools for metrics (e.g. Prometheus), logging (e.g. Loki), and distributed tracing (e.g. Tempo/OpenTelemetry). • Define, implement, and manage a robust framework of Service Level Objectives (SLOs), Service Level Indicators (SLIs), and error budgets for our core products, ensuring we are launch-ready. • Partner with SWEs to implement observability best practices, develop standard templates and documentation, and configure tooling (e.g., OpenTelemetry libraries). • Automate the deployment, scaling, and management of the entire observability stack using Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform) and GitOps principles (e.g. ArgoCD). • Partner closely with the core infrastructure team to ensure deep visibility into our Kubernetes clusters and underlying GCP and AWS environments. • Develop and lead the company's monitoring, alerting, and incident response strategy, driving a culture of proactive reliability and blameless post-mortems.

🎯 Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in an SRE or platform engineering role, with a focus on observability for large-scale, distributed compute or network systems. • Deep, hands-on expertise building, scaling, and managing observability platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Loki/ELK, OpenTelemetry, Tempo/Jaeger, Honeycomb, etc.). • Proven experience using these tools to support performance analysis and debugging of complex distributed systems. • Strong production-level experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Kubernetes. • Experience using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps principles (e.g., ArgoCD). • Proficiency in a systems programming language, with a strong preference for Go and Python for debugging and writing tooling. • Demonstrable experience defining, implementing, and managing SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets for production services for high availability distributed systems.
