United States Digital Space LLC; United States; Remote; USD 100,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Bright Vision Technologies is seeking a Site Observability Engineer to design, implement, and operate comprehensive observability platforms across metrics, logs, traces, and alerts. You will drive adoption of OpenTelemetry, set robust instrumentation standards, and partner with SRE and platform teams to embed observability into CI/CD and deployment pipelines.

The role emphasizes scalable, cost-aware architectures, high availability, and actionable telemetry to inform engineering and business

Qualifications

• 5+ years in SRE, platform engineering or observability roles.
• Hands-on experience with Prometheus, Grafana, and at least one major observability platform (Datadog/New Relic/Splunk).
• Strong OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, and structured logging knowledge.
• Proficient in Go, Python, or Java.
• Experience with high‑cardinality metrics and log pipelines.
• Understanding of SLOs, error budgets, and SRE principles.
• Experience integrating observability with CI/CD and incident tools.
• Solid Linux, networking, and container platform knowledge.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

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.
• 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.
