Summary: The Data Network Engineer role focuses on leveraging telemetry, observability, monitoring, and performance within a high availability Network Infrastructure Site Reliability Engineering environment. The position requires collaboration across functions to embed observability into software development processes and to design and implement telemetry pipelines. Candidates should have experience with various observability tools and a strong understanding of cloud-native architectures. The ultimate goal is to enhance the value of observability tooling and develop actionable insights from telemetry data.
Key Responsibilities:
- Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure observability is embedded into the SDLC & CI/CD pipelines.
- Design and implement telemetry pipelines for metrics, logs, traces, and events.
- Develop observability standards, NMS tooling, dashboards, alerting frameworks, and SLOs.
- Integrate and optimize observability tools such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, and Elastic.
Key Skills:
- Experience within Network/Platform Observability, Networks SRE, or Platform Engineering roles in complex, distributed environments.
- Strong expertise with telemetry tools such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, Elastic, Loki, Jaeger, or similar.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Go, Java) and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Helm).
- Deep understanding of cloud-native architectures (Kubernetes, microservices, service meshes).
