Leverage your advanced technical capabilities and collaborate with colleagues across the organization to drive best-in-class outcomes across various technologies to support one or more of the firms portfolios.

Job responsibilities

Creates complex and scalable coding frameworks using appropriate software design frameworks, with a focus on observability/telemetry platforms for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environments

Develops secure and high-quality production code, and reviews and debugs code written by others across telemetry collection, enrichment, storage, and visualization services

Leads the design and implementation of end-to-end telemetry pipelines (metrics, logs, traces, events) including standards, schemas, and instrumentation patterns for platform and application teams

Engineers and evolves CI/CD pipelines to support reliable delivery, automated testing, policy-as-code, and safe progressive rollouts for observability services

Designs and implements solutions that operate effectively in software-defined networking (SDN) and cloud networking environments, including troubleshooting across layered network paths and dependencies

Builds and maintains monitoring, alerting, and SLO/SLI practices using tools such as Splunk and/or Grafana and/or Prometheus (including dashboarding, alert tuning, and operational runbooks)

Advises cross-functional teams on technological matters within your domain of expertise, including telemetry strategy, platform integrations, and operational readiness

Serves as the functions go-to subject matter expert for observability and telemetry across the VPC platform, influencing standards and best practices

Creates durable, reusable software frameworks that are leveraged across teams and functions (SDKs, libraries, templates, reference architectures, and golden paths)

Influences leaders and senior stakeholders across business, product, and technology teams by communicating tradeoffs, risk, and roadmap decisions for platform reliability and resiliency

Champions the firms culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

10+ years of software engineering experience, including building and operating platform services in production environments

Hands-on practical experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability, ideally for platform/infrastructure or developer productivity products

Expert-level Python development experience, including building services, automation, tooling, and integrations for telemetry and operations workflows

Strong Linux systems and networking expertise (TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, routing, NAT, packet capture/troubleshooting), and the ability to diagnose cross-system issues in distributed environments

Practical experience with CI/CD (e.g., automated build/test/release pipelines) and modern delivery practices (progressive delivery, automated quality gates, artifact/version management)

Advanced knowledge of software application development and technical processes with considerable in-depth knowledge in one or more technical disciplines (e.g., cloud platforms, platform engineering, reliability engineering, networking, observability)

Experience with observability/telemetry tooling such as Splunk and/or Grafana and/or Prometheus (including instrumentation, queries, dashboards, alerts, and operationalization)

Experience designing or operating telemetry data pipelines (collection agents, exporters, scraping, indexing, retention, cardinality management, performance/cost controls)

Experience applying expertise and new methods to determine solutions for complex technology problems in one or more technical disciplines

Working knowledge of software-defined networking concepts and environments, including integrations and operational considerations for VPC-like network platforms

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

Experience building an observability platform or paved road telemetry offering used by multiple engineering teams (multi-tenant design, onboarding patterns, guardrails)

Experience with OpenTelemetry (instrumentation standards, collectors, exporters) and distributed tracing practices

Strong understanding of SRE principles (SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, incident response, post-incident reviews, toil reduction)

Experience with infrastructure as code and GitOps-style workflows (e.g., Terraform-like patterns, configuration as code, policy enforcement)

Experience supporting regulated environments with strong security and control requirements (secure-by-default design, auditability, change management)

Provide expertise and engineering excellence to enhance, build and deliver market-leading technologies within the firm
