About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer / SRE (Observability Focus) at Aspire, you will support platform reliability, monitoring, and modernization initiatives across internal systems.

  • Configure dashboards, alerts, and monitoring for microservices-based architectures.

  • Integrate observability tools into AWS environments and CI/CD pipelines.

  • Automate monitoring and operational tasks using scripting (Python preferred).

  • Install and configure DataDog agents and integrations, managing API keys and secure configurations.

  • Manage user roles and access controls within observability platforms.

  • Lead maintenance efforts and platform improvements while proactively driving reliability, scalability, and performance.

What You'll Need

  • Strong experience working in Kubernetes environments (deployment, operations, and monitoring).

  • Experience with DataDog (preferred) or similar tools (Prometheus, Grafana).

  • Ability to configure dashboards, alerts, and APM (tracing, metrics, logging).

  • Experience monitoring containerized and microservices architectures.

  • Hands-on experience with AWS.

  • Experience integrating observability tools into cloud environments.

  • Experience integrating observability into CI/CD pipelines.

  • Ability to automate monitoring and operational tasks using scripting (Python preferred).

  • Experience owning and operating an internal engineering platform.

  • Demonstrated ownership of reliability, scalability, and performance.

  • Proven ability to proactively lead maintenance efforts and platform improvements (not just reactive support).

  • Ability to work with JST time zone overlap.

  • Familiarity with Go (Golang).

  • Experience with additional observability tools such as New Relic, Dynatrace, Elastic, or Splunk Observability.

  • Awareness or knowledge of IT security best practices as defined by ISO / SOC or similar standards.

  • Be part of a remote-first organization where flexibility is embraced.

  • Work and learn alongside talented engineers and technology leaders.
