Improve the stack, dive into new technologies and figure out how best to monitor them
Provide easy ways to understand the state of the services at a given point in time, including the ability to trace requests across multiple services
Work with development teams in an advisory capacity to optimize usage of monitoring and logging tools: what to log, measure and alert, which metrics and events are important and why through guidance, documentation and internal discussion

The experience we are looking for:
Designing, implementing and debugging large-scale data infrastructure systems, and identifying their performance bottlenecks

We value ownership and innovation, and we build our teams with that in mind. We want each team to be responsible and accountable for what they ship. We also don't want to reinvent the wheel every time, so we try to get alignment in terms of practices and technologies. Our philosophy to achieve this is relying on excellent tooling and automation over policies and processes.
We know that diverse teams are strong teams, and welcome those with alternative identities, backgrounds, and experiences from all over the world. We’re a team of technically curious problem solvers. Come and join us.
We are looking forward to receiving your application!
