Overview

At eBay, we’re changing how the world shops and sells. Our platform empowers millions of buyers and sellers in more than 190 markets. We’re committed to pushing boundaries and reinvention of the future of ecommerce. Our customers are our compass, and we welcome bold ideas and authentic collaboration.

Join a team of passionate thinkers, innovators, and dreamers to connect people and build communities that create economic opportunity for all. We’re seeking a passionate and experienced Software Engineer focused on distributed systems to join our Observability Platform team. You will design and build scalable infrastructure that powers the telemetry, monitoring, and reliability needs of our platform teams. Our Observability platform is a hyperscaler, operating on billions of time series and petabytes of logs, built on cutting-edge open-source technologies such as Prometheus, ClickHouse, OpenTelemetry, and more. You will work across the stack—from data ingestion and storage to visualization—to ensure we build systems that are reliable, performant, and a joy to use.

You will partner closely with world-class SREs, platform engineers, and service owners to support the development, scaling, and maintenance of mission-critical observability systems that power modern, high-scale distributed applications. Working with this team provides exposure to SREs who manage eBay’s site, comprising thousands of microservices.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement scalable, fault-tolerant telemetry infrastructure with a focus on reliability and low operational overhead
• Build and optimize services for ingesting, transforming, and querying telemetry data such as logs, metrics, and traces
• Operate production-grade Kubernetes-based systems with a focus on self-healing, autoscaling, and robustness
• Collaborate across teams to understand observability needs and build tools that enhance operational excellence
• Contribute to system design reviews and post-incident retrospectives with a mindset of continuous improvement
• Participate in the team’s on-call rotation to help ensure the availability and reliability of our observability systems
• Optionally, build user-facing interfaces to surface observability insights (using React/JavaScript)

Basic Qualifications

• 4+ years of professional experience in full stack software development and infrastructure engineering
• Hands-on experience building full-stack applications using modern backend and frontend technologies
• Strong programming skills in Golang (or equivalent system-level languages such as Java, C++, or Python)
• Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into software applications using modern AI frameworks, MCP Servers and AI Agent Frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph or similar)
• Working knowledge of AI-assisted software development, prompt engineering, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases, AI agents, or related technologies
• Experience designing and consuming REST/gRPC APIs and building scalable microservices
• Deep understanding of distributed systems fundamentals including scalability, fault tolerance, consistency, and resiliency
• Hands-on experience deploying and operating services in containerized environments (Kubernetes)
• Familiarity with observability pillars - metrics, logs, traces
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative mindset

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ClickHouse, or similar tools
• Exposure to time-series data storage and query optimization
• Strong frontend development experience using React, JavaScript/TypeScript
• Contributions to open-source infrastructure or observability tooling
• Experience with high-throughput data pipelines in cloud-native environments
• Frontend development using React/JavaScript
