The SRE Observability team is part of the larger Platform Engineering organization, and is dedicated to building and maintaining the observability stack (metrics, logging, tracing) used by all engineering teams to ensure the smooth functioning of their service. We also own related services, including our telemetry pipeline, and our monitoring and alerting infrastructure. Our stack includes VictoriaMetrics, Splunk, QuickWit, Jaeger, Fluentbit, and Vector.

This is a highly collaborative role, and you will get to own some of the most relied upon internal infrastructure at Mongo.
