Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with OpenTelemetry (OTel) concepts including distributed tracing, metrics, logs, and OTel Collector configurations.
• Deep experience with cloud observability paradigms and migrating off legacy platforms like New Relic.
• Solid understanding of HTTP, APIs, env-based configurations, and editing complex YAML/JSON manifests.
• Strong background in software testing, debugging log analysis, and validating high-cardinality telemetry data.

Responsibilities

• Migrate existing instrumentation, tracing, and telemetry configurations from New Relic to OpenTelemetry.
• Update YAML configuration files, environment variables, and deployment manifests per architecture standards.
• Execute unit tests and validation suites to ensure telemetry is generated, transformed, and exported correctly.
• Perform telemetry gap analysis comparing New Relic data against OTel outputs to find missing traces, metrics, logs, or resource attributes.
• Assist in updating dashboards, monitoring docs, and runbooks to reflect OTel architecture.
• Investigate telemetry collection/export errors, identify root causes, and collaborate with platform engineers on edge cases.
• Maintain tracking and reporting of implementation progress, edge cases, and migration risks.
