Must have proven, hands-on experience building monitoring from the ground up: instrumentation, dashboards, alerting that catches problems before users do, and SLIs/SLOs established where none exist. Deep experience with a modern observability platform is essential: New Relic (our stack) is a strong plus, but solid hands-on experience with Datadog, Grafana/Prometheus, ELK, or similar is equally welcome, as long as it transfers.\nRequirements:\n3+ years of hands-on SRE / Platform / Observability engineering, with a proven track record of building monitoring and observability from scratch - not just maintaining existing dashboards\nDeep, hands-on command of the three pillars - logs, metrics, and traces, and the judgment to know which to reach for when\nStrong experience with modern observability platforms: New Relic (a strong plus), Datadog, Grafana/Prometheus, and log platforms such as Elasticsearch / OpenSearch (ELK)\nDistributed tracing and instrumentation: hands-on with OpenTelemetry (or vendor agents), able to instrument services and follow a request across service boundaries\nDesigns alerting that actually works - symptom-based, actionable, tied to user impact, and tuned to avoid noise and alert fatigue\nAble to define and drive SLIs/SLOs, dashboards, and thresholds, and to establish them where they don't yet exist\nObservability-as-code - managing monitors, dashboards, and alerts declaratively (Terraform or similar)\nWorking knowledge of CI/CD (GitHub Actions), containers (Docker), and Azure (enough to instrument, deploy, and integrate observability independently)\nScripting in Python and/or Bash\nGood communication skills in English - partners with the SRE lead and works directly with dev teams to instrument their services\nOwnership mindset - treats observability as a product and drives it forward proactively\nNice to have:\nAzure ACA; OpenTelemetry Collector pipelines; observability cost control (data volume, retention, sampling); incident response and post-incident review experience; e-commerce or high-traffic environments.\nNot the right fit?
