Observe is a SaaS Observability product that enables businesses to investigate modern distributed applications 10x faster. Observe ingests anything with a timestamp (e.g. system and application logs, metrics, and traces), and then structures that data so that it is correlated and easy to navigate. We enable engineers to spend more time coding features and less time investigating incidents.

The Enterprise Platform team is responsible for building enterprise features and service infrastructure towards a highly reliable application and control plane for Observe. We work with tools like Golang, Kubernetes, GraphQL, and Postgres, as well as our temporal-relational query language, OPAL.

What you have the opportunity to accomplish:

  • Build robust application and control plane components that drives the rest of the Observe product: This includes our API servers, authentication, application metadata and the infrastructure that our services run on
  • Design shared infrastructure components that optimize for scalability, reliability, performance and long-term maintainability
  • Develop enterprise features such as RBAC, IAC (terraform), programmatic APIs
  • Write robust unit tests that are quick, reliable, and allow our team to continuously deploy to our kubernetes service infrastructure
  • Be a strong contributor to the product vision and team planning

You'll be successful in this role if you have:

  • Strong computer science fundamentals
  • BSCS degree or equivalent experience
  • 10+ years experience working on service infrastructure
  • A solid understanding of SaaS application architecture and database fundamentals 
  • Experience building and deploying scalable, secure and performant APIs 
  • Proficiency with distributed systems, SOAs, performance measurement and optimization
