From Home Observability Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

THE POSITIONOur roster has an opening with your name on it
FanDuel is looking for a Senior Observability Engineer to design, build, and mature the observability ecosystem that underpins our platform and services. You will deliver deep visibility into system behavior by combining system telemetry with user signals to provide a holistic view of performance, reliability, and user experience. You'll also explore how AI and machine learning can enhance observability, from intelligent alerting and anomaly detection to accelerating root cause analysis.
This is a hands-on role. You'll partner closely with engineering and product teams to deliver scalable observability capabilities, serve as a subject matter expert in monitoring, alerting, and incident management, and equip teams with self-service insights and tooling. By connecting system behavior to real user impact and leveraging AI-assisted workflows to surface issues faster, you'll drive improvements in reliability, performance, and data-informed decision-making across the organization.
In addition to the specific responsibilities outlined above, employees may be required to perform other such duties as assigned by the Company. This ensures operational flexibility and allows the Company to meet evolving business needs.
THE GAME PLAN
Everyone on our team has a part to play

• Contribute to the observability strategy and roadmap, partnering with multiple teams to align with business priorities and engineering goals.
• Design and enhance scalable observability solutions that provide actionable insights into system health, performance, and user experience.
• Help establish and promote best practices for monitoring, alerting, incident management, and postmortems across teams.
• Support operational excellence by improving incident response processes, on-call practices, and post-incident reviews, focusing on continuous improvement.
• Collaborate on cross-team initiatives to improve system reliability, identifying risks and contributing to their resolution.
• Apply automation and AI-assisted workflows to improve root cause analysis and reduce operational toil.
• Work with engineering and product stakeholders to surface observability insights that inform technical decisions and prioritization.
• Analyze system and user signals to help detect, prevent, and mitigate reliability issues.
• Contribute to optimizing observability platforms for performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
• Mentor peers and contribute to raising observability and reliability standards within the team.
• In addition to the responsibilities outlined above, employees may be required to perform other duties as assigned by the Company to ensure operational flexibility and meet evolving business needs.
