• Work with APM, Custom Metrics, Distributed Tracing, logs and dashboards to provide visibility into distributed systems.
• Define and implement KPIs, SLIs and SLOs together with engineering and business stakeholders.
• Design structured logging and metrics collection strategies.
• Analyze logs, traces and metrics to identify reliability, performance and scalability improvements.
• Collaborate with software engineers to improve instrumentation across Python, Java and TypeScript services.
• Build lightweight data pipelines or ETL processes for operational and observability data when required.
• Help define and promote best practices around cloud architecture, automation, reliability, security and observability.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across applications, infrastructure and distributed services.

What we're looking for

• 4+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer, Cloud Engineer, Platform Engineer, SRE or similar role.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS and cloud-native architectures.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code, ideally Terraform.

• Hands-on experience with observability and monitoring platforms such as Datadog.
• Experience with APM, Custom Metrics, Dashboards, logging and Distributed Tracing.
• Understanding of OpenTelemetry and modern application instrumentation.
• Experience defining or working with SLIs, SLOs and operational KPIs.
• Scripting or development experience with Python.
• Good understanding of distributed systems and microservices architectures.
• Ability to troubleshoot systems across infrastructure, networking and application layers.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Nice to have

• Experience with Datadog SDK and advanced application instrumentation.
• Experience with AWS CloudWatch and its integration with Datadog.
• Familiarity with Java and/or TypeScript.
• Experience with SQL and working with operational data.
• Experience building ETL or data pipelines.
• Experience with Power BI or similar visualization tools.
• Knowledge of traffic management and communication between distributed services.
• Experience working with Helm or other Kubernetes tooling.
• Experience with cloud security, IAM, networking and infrastructure governance.
• Experience collaborating with business stakeholders to translate business requirements into measurable technical or operational KPIs.

What we offer

• Competitive salary based on experience. Senior (35–45K), Architect (45–55K), Tech Lead (55–65K).
• Performance-based bonus of up to 12% of your salary.
• €1,000/year education budget to keep growing.
• Flexible working hours and the option to work from home.
• €300 to improve your home setup.
• Challenging projects with a focus on innovation.
• A dynamic, diverse team that wants to leave a mark.
• International clients with thousands of users.

If you're comfortable moving between cloud infrastructure, automation, observability and operational data, we'd love to talk. ;-)
