Description

Coralogix is a modern, full-stack observability platform transforming how businesses process and understand their data. Our unique architecture powers in-stream analytics without reliance on expensive indexing or hot storage. We specialize in comprehensive monitoring of logs, metrics, traces, and security events with features such as APM, RUM, SIEM, Kubernetes monitoring, and more—helping customers reduce observability costs by up to 70%.

We are seeking a Senior Observability Engineer to join our Platform Group. In this role, you will design and deliver platform-level observability features that enable engineers across Coralogix to build, operate, and scale with confidence. You will work hands‑on with Kubernetes-based systems, modern observability technologies, and upstream communities to drive best practices and shape the company‑wide observability strategy.

In This Role, You Will

• Design, implement, and maintain observability features such as Alerting, SLOs, Reporting, and Synthetic Tests
• Manage and scale OpenTelemetry Collectors and other observability agents across Kubernetes environments
• Write and maintain Kubernetes Controllers using frameworks like controller-runtime and KubeBuilder
• Operate and optimize the internal Coralogix account, ensuring proper usage, cost efficiency, and best practices adoption
• Define and enforce observability guidelines and standards across the organization
• Partner with engineering teams to embed observability by default into products and services
• Control observability-related costs while maximizing performance, visibility, and value
• Contribute to upstream projects such as OpenTelemetry, helping shape industry standards
• Explore and implement cutting‑edge observability technologies, including eBPF‑based approaches

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Site Reliability, DevOps, or Platform Engineering with a focus on observability
• Proven expertise with at least one major observability platform (e.g., Prometheus, Victoria Metrics, OpenSearch)
• Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes, including deep knowledge of controllers, operators, and Helm
• Experience writing Kubernetes controllers (controller-runtime, KubeBuilder)
• Strong programming skills in Go or Python (Rust is a plus)
• Experience designing, scaling, and operating observability systems at enterprise scale
• Familiarity with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, telemetry pipelines, and instrumentation standards (e.g., OpenTelemetry)
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex topics to diverse stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Contributions or maintainership in open-source observability projects
• Knowledge of eBPF and its application in observability
• Experience speaking at technical conferences or publishing engineering content
• Deep engagement with the observability community

Cultural Fit

We’re seeking candidates who are hungry, humble, and smart. Coralogix fosters a culture of innovation and continuous learning, where team members are encouraged to challenge the status quo and contribute to our shared mission. If you thrive in dynamic environments and are eager to shape the future of observability solutions, we’d love to hear from you.
