We are forming a new Observability team responsible for the design, evolution, and operation of our company-wide monitoring, logging, and tracing platforms.

This role is a key part of our strategic shift from Datadog to a self-hosted observability stack fully compliant with local regulatory requirements.

Today, we operate multiple observability systems — our legacy stack based on Datadog (logs, metrics, APM, RUM, dashboards, and alerts), and our new Elastic Enterprise platform used for storing audit, access, application, and database logs required by regulators.

On top of Elastic, we've built SOC2 and SIEM integrations with external vendors.

You’ll be part of a small, highly technical team tasked with defining the future of observability at scale - designing, migrating, and maintaining the platforms that power visibility, compliance, and reliability across the organization.
