Cloud Engineer

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Cloud Engineer (Observability) to join our team and enhance the reliability, performance, and visibility of our applications. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and Coralogix, as well as a deep understanding of application performance monitoring (APM) for modern cloud environments. You will play a crucial role in designing and implementing monitoring and observability strategies for Java-based backend services, React-based frontends, and containerized applications deployed on AWS EC2 and Kubernetes platforms.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement robust observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and Coralogix for real-time monitoring and logging.
• Configure and maintain Application Performance Monitoring (APM) solutions to optimize the performance of Java and React applications.
• Build and maintain custom dashboards, alerts, and metrics to monitor the health, performance, and availability of applications and infrastructure.
• Collaborate with development and SRE teams to integrate observability best practices into CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows.
• Establish logging, tracing, and metrics collection standards to ensure end-to-end visibility of distributed systems.
• Work on anomaly detection and root cause analysis using observability data and tools.
• Automate incident detection and response processes to reduce Mean Time to Detection (MTTD) and Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR).
• Continuously optimize monitoring strategies to minimize overhead while maintaining comprehensive visibility.
• Troubleshoots complex performance issues across application layers, including backend, frontend, and infrastructure.
• Ensure compliance with security and operational best practices when handling observability data.
  
  

Requirements

• 3-7 years of experience in a similar role with a focus on observability and monitoring.
• Proficiency with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and APM solutions.
• Strong knowledge of cloud environments, particularly AWS, including services like EC2 EKS, CloudWatch, and RDS.
• Hands-on experience monitoring and optimizing Java backend services and React-based frontend applications.
• Expertise in monitoring containerized applications using Kubernetes, Docker, or equivalent platforms.
• Knowledge of distributed tracing and metrics collection to analyze complex application behaviors.
• Experience in implementing log and trace instrumentation, as well as utilizing aggregation and analysis tools to centralize data and extract actionable insights.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating observability workflows into automated deployments.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks in large-scale systems.
• Strong communication skills to collaborate across teams and translate technical insights into actionable recommendations.
  
  

Bonus Points

• Experience implementing Coralogix observability solutions for AWS environments.
• Exposure to DevOps and SRE principles, including incident management and reliability engineering.
• Knowledge of DORA metrics to monitor and improve deployment practices.
• Hands-on scripting or development skills in Python, Bash, or similar languages.
