The Role:

As a Observability Platform Expert at Nespresso, you will be responsible for the hands‑on implementation, configuration, operation, and continuous improvement of enterprise observability capabilities across our critical digital services, applications, infrastructure, networks, and customer journeys.

You will use your deep expertise in monitoring, logging, distributed tracing, Real User Monitoring, and telemetry correlation to improve End‑to‑End visibility across complex hybrid and multi‑cloud environments. You will help teams detect service degradation earlier, investigate incidents faster, identify root causes, and reduce customer and business impact.

Working closely with application owners, operations, platform teams, Enterprise Architecture, security, and external partners, you will onboard services into the observability platform, validate instrumentation coverage, develop dashboards and actionable alerts, troubleshoot telemetry pipelines, and support production incident investigations.

The role requires a strong hands‑on mindset. You will implement solutions directly, lead technical evaluations and Proofs of Concept, and translate business and operational requirements into measurable observability outcomes.

Knowledge of observability architecture is a strong advantage. You may contribute to target architecture, platform integration patterns, telemetry standards, application onboarding models, security and data‑governance requirements, scalability, resilience, and cost optimization. You will also support architecture reviews and help ensure solutions are aligned with OpenTelemetry and other relevant industry standards.

You will stay current with emerging observability practices and technologies, including AIOps, AI-assisted investigation, automation, and Agentic AI, evaluating them based on practical value, operational readiness, governance, and cost.

In This Role, You Will:

• Maintain, run, and continuously improve our monitoring infrastructure.
• Setup new monitoring capabilities for the existing/new infrastructure and applications (dashboards, alerts, metrics…)
• Ensure the stability of the mission‑critical systems by setting up alerts, notification, and auto‑remediation.
• Setup event‑driven automation based on events from monitoring systems.
• Collaborate with an international, self‑responsible and agile team who is working with the newest toolset.

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• Minimum five years of experience in observability, monitoring, Site Reliability Engineering or production operations.
• Strong hands‑on experience implementing and operating Grafana in complex enterprise environments.

Advanced experience with:

• Grafana dashboards, variables, transformations and data‑source configuration.
• Prometheus and PromQL.
• Grafana Mimir or managed Prometheus environments.
• Grafana Loki and LogQL.
• Grafana Tempo and distributed tracing.
• Grafana Alloy for telemetry collection and forwarding.
• Grafana Alerting, contact points, notification policies and alert routing.
• Experience designing and troubleshooting dashboards and alerts for applications, infrastructure, databases, networks and business services.
• Strong knowledge of OpenTelemetry, including:
• OpenTelemetry Collector architecture.
• OTLP ingestion and export.
• Metrics, logs and traces.
• Context propagation and trace correlation.
• Sampling and telemetry‑processing strategies.li>
• Experience onboarding applications and infrastructure into the Grafana observability ecosystem.
• Experience correlating metrics, logs and traces to support End‑to‑End troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis.
• Experience troubleshooting production incidents across hybrid and multicloud environments.
• Working knowledge of Linux, containers and Kubernetes.
• Experience with at least one major cloud platform such as Azure, AWS, OCI or GCP.
• Experience integrating Grafana with ITSM, incident‑management and DevOps tools such as ServiceNow, Jira, PagerDuty or CI/CD platforms.
• Proven experience leading technical evaluations, proofs of concept and production implementations.
• Strong English communication skills and experience working with global, distributed teams.
