Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the application components that aggregate, correlate, and present observability data from individual services into unified, end-to-end views of the Real-Time platform.
• Implement customer-centric aggregation and hotspot detection algorithms reflecting timeliness, completeness, accuracy, and stability of market data.
• Develop telemetry pipelines that ingest, transform, and route metrics, traces, and logs from distributed services into a coherent observability layer.
• Design and build custom synthetic monitoring agents deployed across hundreds of global sites to measure customer experience of Real-Time data.
• Implement GitOps/API-driven workflows for observability assets to ensure consistent deployment, versioning, and promotion through build pipelines.
• Collaborate with squads to integrate observability instrumentation into applications across Dev, Test, PPE, and Prod environments.
