This is a unique opportunity to combine your expertise in full-stack development, network engineering, and site reliability engineering to enhance the observability and reliability of our critical infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and Implement Observability Solutions: Develop and maintain monitoring, logging, and tracing systems for network infrastructure using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, ELK Stack, or similar platforms.
• Full-Stack Development: Build custom dashboards, APIs, and tools to provide real-time insights into network performance and reliability.
• Network Monitoring: Collaborate with network engineers to implement telemetry solutions for routers, switches, firewalls, and cloud networking components.
• Incident Management: Create automated alerting systems to detect and respond to network anomalies, ensuring minimal downtime and fast recovery.
• Automation and Scripting: Develop scripts and automation workflows using Python, Go, or similar languages to streamline observability and troubleshooting processes.
• Data Analysis: Analyze network telemetry data to identify trends, bottlenecks, and areas for optimization.
• Collaboration: Work closely with SRE, DevOps, and Network Engineering teams to ensure observability solutions aligned with organizational goals.
• Reliability Engineering: Apply SRE principles to improve the reliability and scalability of network systems, including implementing SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets.
• Documentation: Create and maintain detailed documentation for observability tools, workflows, and best practices.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Network Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Experience:
  • 5+ years of experience in network engineering, site reliability engineering, or full-stack development.
  • Strong background in network observability and monitoring tools.

• Technical Skills:
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Go, or JavaScript.
  • Experience with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, ELK Stack, or Datadog.
  • Strong understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, DNS, etc.).
  • Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform or Ansible.
  • Understanding fundamental concepts in cloud networking (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid environments.
  • Basic familiarity with container orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes) and service meshes.

• Soft Skills:
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Go, or JavaScript, with the ability to develop scripts and tools for automation and observability.
• Extensive experience with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, ELK Stack, or Datadog, including setting up monitoring, alerting, and visualization workflows.
• Experience with AI/ML-based network monitoring tools.
• Certifications such as CCNA, CCNP, AWS Advanced Networking, or Kubernetes certifications (CKA/CKAD).
• Familiarity with container orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes) and service meshes.
• Familiarity with chaos engineering practices to test network resilience.

This role offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic, global environment, driving innovation and operational excellence in critical network domains. If you are passionate about network reliability, observability, and full-stack development, we encourage you to apply!
