WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT TO US
SimCorp'ssoftware runs investment operations for some of the largest financial institutions in the world. When it has a problem, our clients feel it quickly. This team makes sure we see those problemsfirst, andincreasingly understand them before they turn into incidents.
You will work across a modern observability stack, Grafana, Azure Monitor,OpenTelemetryand Terraform, with real freedom to shape how it grows. This is genuine ownership of something the business depends on.
WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Raising the quality of our alerting so that what firesactually matters.
Shaping service levelobjectives, error budgets, and the reliability conversations that come with them.
Owning your area end to end and setting a technical bar the rest of the team grows toward.
WHAT WE VALUE
Our stack isbroadand we do not expect one person to have done all of it. We are looking for real depth in Grafana and Azure observability, strong fundamentals across the rest, and the judgement to own a problem and work out the parts you have not met yet.
You will fit well if you bring:

Several years in observability, site reliability, or platform engineering, delivering independently rather than waiting for direction.
Deep Grafana experience across dashboards and multiple data sources.

Comfort with infrastructure as code, ideally Terraform.
Sound instincts for metrics, logs, traces, andalerting.
A real advantage
OpenTelemetryin practice, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD.
Things we will help you grow into

We like people who are comfortable with ambiguity, who improve the things around them, and who make the engineers next to them better.
