Requirements

  • BS or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field
  • 8+ years of experience in large-scale observability, data engineering, or performance monitoring systems
  • Proven expertise in building and scaling observability stacks (metrics, logs, traces, events) using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, or Thanos
  • Deep understanding of data collection, transformation, and storage at scale, experience with streaming frameworks (Kafka, Flink, Spark) preferred
  • Hands-on experience with Python, Go, and/or Java for backend development and automation
  • Strong knowledge of API design, data modeling, SQL/NoSQL, and data pipeline architecture
  • Experience working with PromQL, time-series databases, and large-scale monitoring systems
  • Familiarity with AI/ML pipelines, GPU-based workloads, and HPC environments
  • Experience with anomaly detection, log analytics, and recommendation systems using ML or statistical techniques
  • Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and performance-tuning skills in distributed systems

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement full-stack observability systems covering metrics, logs, traces, and events for GPU-powered AI and HPC workloads
  • Build large-scale telemetry data pipelines leveraging OpenTelemetry, Kafka, Prometheus, and other distributed systems to ingest, process, and analyze massive data streams
  • Develop analytics and anomaly detection frameworks to enable real-time visibility, performance optimization, and predictive insights across multi-tenant environments
  • Architect and tune high-throughput data stores (e.g., TSDBs, columnar databases, OLAP systems) for large-scale observability data
  • Drive self-service analytics capabilities through APIs, dashboards, and recommendation engines that empower developers and operators with actionable insights
  • Collaborate with AI platform, GPU, and cloud infrastructure teams to optimize observability for model training, inference workloads, and HPC performance
  • Leverage machine learning and statistical techniques for correlation, anomaly detection, and intelligent alerting
  • Contribute to performance tuning, scalability, and reliability of observability services across on-prem, and cloud environments
