Job description

Staff Observability Platform Engineer (SRE)
Locations: Seattle, WA (Hybrid), Houston, TX (Hybrid), New York, NY (Hybrid)
What You’ll Do
  • Design, build, and evolve observability platforms across metrics, logs, traces, alerting, and telemetry pipelines.
  • Lead the implementation of scalable observability solutions that support Nscale’s growing GPU and AI infrastructure.
  • Partner with SRE, infrastructure, platform, and AI/ML teams to ensure observability is embedded throughout the software and infrastructure lifecycle.
  • Drive improvements in monitoring coverage, alert quality, service health visibility, and incident response effectiveness.
  • Develop standards, frameworks, and reusable patterns that simplify observability adoption across engineering teams.
  • Identify reliability risks and operational blind spots, helping teams proactively address them before they impact customers.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions around telemetry collection, storage, retention, cardinality management, and performance optimization.
  • Lead technical initiatives and projects that improve platform scalability, reliability, and operational efficiency.
  • Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance through design reviews, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
  • Participate in incident investigations and postmortems, translating operational learnings into durable platform improvements.
  • Evaluate new observability technologies and practices, balancing innovation with operational simplicity and long-term maintainability.
About You
  • Experience in SRE, platform engineering, infrastructure engineering, observability engineering, or related disciplines.
  • Strong experience building and operating observability platforms in cloud-native, distributed environments.
  • Deep hands-on experience with several of the following technologies: Prometheus, Thanos, VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry, ClickHouse, Elastic, or similar platforms.
  • Strong software engineering skills with proficiency in Go, Python, or equivalent languages.
  • Experience operating and troubleshooting Kubernetes-based platforms at scale.
  • Strong understanding of monitoring, logging, tracing, telemetry pipelines, and modern observability practices.
  • Experience designing systems with scalability, reliability, performance, and operational simplicity in mind.
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent.
  • Ability to lead technical initiatives and influence engineering decisions across multiple teams.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs and align stakeholders around pragmatic solutions.
Preferred
  • Experience operating observability systems in GPU, AI/ML, HPC, or large-scale compute environments.
  • Familiarity with Slurm, Kubernetes GPU scheduling, or AI infrastructure platforms.
  • Experience with high-volume telemetry pipelines and streaming technologies such as Kafka, Vector, or Fluent Bit.
  • Knowledge of observability challenges related to model training, inference workloads, GPU utilization, and distributed AI systems.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and helping grow technical capability across teams.
