Observability Engineer

The Observability Engineer is responsible for designing, building, implementing, and administering the tools and pipelines that give the organization full-stack visibility into its infrastructure, applications, and business services. This role owns the day-to-day operation of the observability platform(s) and the NOC/TOC (Network/Technical Operations Center) function to ensure stability, reliability, availability, and performance of the services the business depends on.
Where traditional monitoring answered, “is it up or down,” this role is expected to build observability that answers “why is it behaving this way” — correlating metrics, logs, traces, and events into actionable insight, and reducing time-to-detect and time-to-resolve across the environment.

Build and tune alerting logic to reduce noise and alert fatigue; drive toward actionable, high-signal alerting
Define, track, and report on SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, and other key observability/operational KPIs
Develop dashboards and visualizations that give both technical teams and business stakeholders a clear picture of service health
Mentor technical staff and cross-functional teams on observability concepts, instrumentation practices, and tooling

Troubleshoot and resolve issues within the monitoring/observability stack itself (data gaps, false positives, agent/collector health)
Evaluate, pilot, and recommend new observability tools and platforms
Partner with Help Desk, Infrastructure, DevOps/SRE, and Application teams to implement monitoring, alerting, and response processes
Manage the call notification, paging, and escalation system for alerts
Lead capacity planning, performance trending, and fault prediction using historical observability data
