The Observability team provides the vital signs for our software components that subtend the Metaverse. As the three pillars of modern observability, Telemetry, Distributed Tracing, and Logging have become increasingly important when combating all kinds of issues in microservice architecture with Telemetry revealing eagle view and stats of the vital signs of services, Tracing providing contextual analytics and drill down capability for individual requests/responses, and Logging supplying sure-footed textual evidence.

The Observability team owns the entire stack of Telemetry, Distributed Tracing, and Logs, including instrumentation libraries, data processing pipelines, data storage, and the visualization UI. We believe in user centric strategy, and are focused on impact. You will report to the Engineering Manager of Observability.

You Will:

• Work with our business partners to determine the vision and roadmap, and lead the project execution end-to-end.
• Take full ownership of existing observability infrastructures, making sure they are scalable, reliable and easy to use, and meanwhile improve the existing infrastructures with new features and functionality.
• Adhere to and expand our vision to put the Roblox community first.
• Take the long view to architect the next generation Observability Infrastructures that can smoothly handle tens of billions active metric streams, and PBs of log and tracing data everyday.

You Have:

• 4+ years of working experience and experience with building, maintaining and evolving large-scale distributed systems.
• Understanding of all the components that are required to build modern, large-scale infrastructures. You own end-to-end availability and performance of critical services to reduce operational overhead.
• The desire to pick up new technologies as the landscape evolves. Previous contributions to the Open Source Community is a big plus.
• A BS in Computer Science or related fields; Masters degree or higher is a definite plus.

You Are:

• Someone who excels in rapid-paced environments. You can think from the user's perspective and are able convert different ideas and feature requests into concrete projects, then guide the design, implementation, launch, and user onboarding.
• Passionate about mentoring junior engineers, with the ability to earn their respect and help them stretch themselves to build great software and level up their technical knowledge.
