Observability Pipeline Engineer - AI-Driven Telemetry

Energy Jobline ATTB; Us; On-site; EUR 78,000 - 177,000; Full time

Job summary

Booz Allen is seeking an Observability Pipeline Engineer to own and evolve telemetry pipelines across enterprise and government environments. You will work with Cribl, OpenTelemetry, and Splunk, applying AI to improve parsing, schema work, and data-onboarding as code.

The role emphasizes high-volume pipelines, cost management, and secure data handling, with a strong focus on upstream pipeline quality influencing dashboards and investigations.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience engineering telemetry, log, or event data pipelines at enterprise scale.
• Experience building and operating a telemetry routing tier such as Cribl Stream, OpenTelemetry Collector, Vector, Fluent Bit, or Logstash, including schema design, parsing, normalization, reduction, and retention tiering.
• Experience with a query language such as SPL, DQL, LogQL, PromQL, or KQL.
• Experience managing data volume, cardinality, and cost under volume-based or consumption-based licensing.
• Experience managing configuration as code, including GitOps practice and Terraform, across multiple environments.
• Experience writing production code in Python, working against REST APIs, and administering Linux and Windows systems.
• Ability to learn new query languages.
• Secret clearance
• Bachelor's degree in CS, Information Systems, or Engineering

Responsibilities

• Build and evolve the telemetry pipeline that carries logs, metrics, and events across environments.
• Engineer the Splunk log platform from architecture to data onboarding and search performance.
• Automate source onboarding so adding a data source is a pull request with code-managed config via GitOps.
• Apply AI tooling to parser, schema mapping, and normalization to reduce manual work.
• Instrument the pipeline to detect its own failures, including silent sources and cost anomalies.
• Design retention, masking, and cost-control strategies by destination to protect data and ensure provable logs.
