Senior Observability Engineer - Remote

Bright Vision Technologies; United States; Remote; USD 100,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Bright Vision Technologies is seeking an Observability Engineer to design and operate the metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting platforms that give engineering teams confidence in the systems they run.

The role spans the full observability stack—from collection agents and pipelines to long-term storage, dashboards, and alerting workflows—with a strong focus on usability, signal quality, and operational ROI.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in CS or related field.
• 12+ years in SRE, platform engineering, or observability.
• Hands-on with Prometheus, Grafana, and at least one commercial observability platform (Datadog/New Relic/Splunk).
• Strong OpenTelemetry, tracing, and logging.
• Proficiency in Go, Python, or Java.
• Experience operating high-cardinality, high-throughput pipelines.
• Experience with CI/CD and incident tooling.
• Linux, networking, and container platforms proficiency.
• Excellent communication and collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Design and operate enterprise-grade observability platforms covering metrics, logs, traces, events, and synthetic monitoring.
• Architect Prometheus / Thanos / Mimir, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry, and Datadog deployments for high availability and scale.
• Develop standards for service instrumentation, including OpenTelemetry adoption, metric naming, label cardinality, and structured logging conventions.
• Define and enforce SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets, and build the dashboards and alerts that operationalize them.
• Build alerting strategies that minimize noise, surface actionable signals, and integrate cleanly with on-call workflows in PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or similar tools.
• Operate large-scale time-series and log storage platforms, balancing retention, query performance, and cost.
• Design distributed tracing pipelines and help teams use traces to diagnose latency and reliability issues.
• Develop self-service tooling, paved-road libraries, and templates that make adoption of observability standards easy for product teams.
• Drive cost management and label-cardinality discipline across the observability estate.
• Lead incident response readiness improvements through better dashboards, alerting hygiene, and post-incident analysis tooling.
• Partner with SRE and platform teams to integrate observability into deployment pipelines, canary analysis, and progressive delivery workflows.
• Evaluate and recommend observability vendors and open-source tools based on cost, capability, and operational maturity.
• Mentor engineering teams on observability fundamentals, debugging techniques, and SLO-driven operations.
• Maintain documentation, onboarding guides, and runbooks for the observability platform.
