About the Team
As an observability principal software engineer, you will be a key researcher and technical lead expert in the architecture and development of cloud native observability designs, managed services, and real-time telemetry software systems. You will use your depth of engineering and experience to create visionary software architectures, proof of concepts, and scalable observability product portfolio systems. Additionally, you will design, develop and implement large-scale distributed systems that process large volumes of data focusing on scalability, latency, resiliency, and fault-tolerant in every system built. You must be able to effectively communicate and build collaboration at all areas and levels of the business and engineering. An ideal candidate will be adapt at architecting large-scale distributed systems and proficient in coding Java.
