Observability Engineer

Observability Engineer - London

I'm supporting a leading quantitative technology firm that's looking for an experienced Observability Engineer to join its Platform Engineering team.

This is a hands-on role focused on building large-scale telemetry platforms, improving Kubernetes observability, and shaping the future of OpenTelemetry across a highly technical engineering environment.

The role

🔴 Build scalable telemetry pipelines

🔴 Develop OpenTelemetry collectors, SDKs and exporters

🔴 Improve Kubernetes observability and resilience

🔴 Work closely with Platform Engineering teams to drive automation and reliability

What we're looking for

🔴 OpenTelemetry

🔴 Kubernetes

🔴 AWS

🔴 Datadog, New Relic or Dynatrace

🔴 Terraform, Helm or ArgoCD

🔴 Go or Python

🔴 SRE or Platform Engineering background

This is one of the strongest observability opportunities in London for engineers who want to build the platform itself, not just consume the tooling.
