Senior SRE Engineer (Observability Focus)

Requirements

• 6+ years in a DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering role, with at least 2 years focused on observability tooling at production scale.
• Deep hands-on experience with VictoriaMetrics (or Prometheus) - MetricsQL/PromQL, exporters, service discovery, remote write, downsampling, and retention management.
• Solid OpenSearch or Elasticsearch skills: cluster operations, Query DSL, ISM policies, and ingest pipeline design.
• Production experience with OpenTelemetry: Collector configuration, OTLP, context propagation, and instrumentation across multiple languages.
• Strong Kafka skills - producer/consumer patterns, consumer group management, Kafka Connect, Schema Registry, and JMX-based monitoring. Strimzi experience a plus if you've run Kafka on Kubernetes.
• Proficiency with log shippers (Fluent Bit, Vector, Fluentd) and structured log parsing/normalization.
• Working knowledge of Kubernetes (operators, Helm), Argo CD/GitOps, and Terraform/Ansible.
• Comfortable in a hybrid AWS + on-prem environment; solid understanding of networking as it applies to scraping and shipping pipelines.
• Scripting ability in Bash or Python for automation and tooling.
• Strong communication skills - you can explain observability tradeoffs clearly to engineers and non-engineers alike.
• English proficiency.
