You will mentor teams, develop self‑service observability, and shape strategic roadmaps while upholding enterprise standards.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in site reliability engineering, observability engineering, or platform engineering.
• Hands-on experience designing and operating modern observability platforms.
• Experience with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and similar tools.
• Strong telemetry knowledge across metrics, logs, traces, and SLO/SLI.
• Experience in cloud and hybrid environments; AWS or Azure.
• Automation and IaC with Python, Terraform, Ansible, or Bash.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management.

Responsibilities

• Own the enterprise observability platform, driving cost optimization, capacity planning, telemetry governance, and sustainable platform growth.
• Manage and evolve Moderna's observability platform using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, and other modern observability solutions.
• Lead platform governance, agent lifecycle management, architecture standards, roadmap development, and platform best practices.
• Collaborate with technology vendors and open-source communities to influence product roadmaps and maximize platform value.
• Design and build scalable, resilient, and cost‑efficient observability architectures across apps, databases, hosts, containers, cloud services, networks, and AI/LLM workloads.
• Develop and optimize telemetry pipelines for metrics, traces, and logs across hybrid cloud and on‑prem environments.
• Establish enterprise standards for monitoring, alerting, SLOs, SLIs, and proactive incident detection.
• Enable self‑service observability capabilities that accelerate troubleshooting and platform reliability.
• Design and implement observability for AI agents and LLM-based workloads, including prompts, latency, errors, and costs.
• Define enterprise standards for AI observability and model performance monitoring.
• Implement AI observability solutions using Langfuse or similar technologies for analytics and alerting.
• Leverage AI/LMM technologies for anomaly detection and operational insights.
• Lead enterprise logging as a core pillar with Grafana Loki and open‑source tech.
• Define logging standards: ingestion, parsing, retention, and query performance.
• Partner with Security to ensure compliance and forensic capabilities.
• Integrate observability with incident platforms like PagerDuty for better response.
• Optimize on‑call processes and ensure actionable alerts.
• Provide real‑time telemetry during incidents and contribute to root cause analysis.
• Develop automation with Python, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, and IaC practices.
• Implement self‑healing capabilities and automated remediation.
• Integrate with ServiceNow, Jira, and other enterprise systems.
