Our observability platform brings together infrastructure, application, and service visibility using eBPF and a deployment model that runs in the customer’s own cloud. We help teams investigate problems faster, reduce operational complexity, and scale observability without compromising visibility or control.\nWe’re growing our Customer Success team with a Deployment Engineer who combines hands-on engineering with practical project management. You’ll work closely with customers during the first weeks of their engagement, helping them deploy groundcover and migrate from existing observability platforms. From the first planning session to production, you’ll turn complex transitions into clear, manageable projects and help improve the tools, automation, and AI skills that make each implementation faster and more reliable.\nLocation: San Francisco, CA or Boston, MA (Hybrid, 3 days/week in office)\nWhat You’ll Do\nLead implementation and migration projects from kickoff through production readiness, customer acceptance, and handoff to the Technical Account Manager.\nBuild practical project plans with clear scope, milestones, owners, and dependencies. Keep customers and internal teams aligned on progress, risks, and next steps.\nWork directly with customer engineering teams to deploy groundcover, configure integrations, and validate logs, metrics, and traces across their environments.\nHelp customers migrate from platforms such as Datadog, Coralogix, New Relic, and Grafana’s open-source and commercial offerings, including dashboards, alerts, queries, and operational workflows.\nUse and improve migration tools, scripts, and reusable AI skills and workflows. Validate their outputs to increase delivery speed, accuracy, and repeatability.\nCoordinate migration testing and cutover plans, helping customers verify coverage and resolve gaps before completing the transition.\nDeliver practical enablement and document configurations, decisions, and remaining actions so customers and TAMs can build on a successful implementation.\nPartner with Solution Engineers, TAMs, Support, Product, and Engineering to remove blockers and turn recurring implementation challenges into product and tooling improvements.\nRequirements\n4+ years in implementation, professional services, deployment engineering, solutions engineering, or a comparable technical role- Must\nHands-on experience with Kubernetes, containers, and at least one major cloud platform: AWS, Azure, or GCP - Must\nExperience with observability platforms and telemetry pipelines, including tools such as Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, or OpenTelemetry - Must \nAbility to write and troubleshoot scripts, work with APIs, and use automation to simplify repetitive technical tasks.\nStrong project coordination and customer communication skills, with the ability to manage parallel engagements and explain technical tradeoffs clearly.\nExperience using AI tools in technical workflows, with an interest in building reusable skills and validating results.\nexperience migrating observability platforms or delivering production cloud native infrastructure rollouts.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3228,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Observability & APM"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T05:24:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/groundcover-deployment-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/groundcover-deployment-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T13:25:51Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16414,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":177995},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=177995"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgroundcover-deployment-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgroundcover-deployment-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgroundcover-deployment-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/groundcover-deployment-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgroundcover-deployment-engineer"}]}
