Job description

Secure Every Identity, from AI to HumanIdentity is the key to unlocking the potential of AI. Okta secures AI by building the trusted, neutral infrastructure that enables organizations to safely embrace this new era.

We are seeking a highly technical Observability Site Reliability Engineer with a specialty in Google Cloud, to own and expand our Observability ecosystem into GCP. In this role, you will move beyond simple monitoring to delivering a world class, comprehensive, scalable Observability Platform that enables our SRE teams and business partners.

Key Responsibilities
  • Automated Infrastructure: Design, build, and maintain scalable observability infrastructure using tools like Terraform.
  • GCP Observabilty Engineering: Optimize the collection, processing, and storage of Observabilty data to ensure high reliability and low latency of our Splunk and Grafana services

  • Automation: Eliminate "toil" by automating the deployment and scaling of observability agents and collectors.

Required Skills & Experience (The Essentials)
GKE: Minimum 5+ Experience scaling and managing observability in a Google Cloud platform. Visualization: Expertise in creating intuitive, actionable Splunk or Grafana dashboards that correlate data across multiple sources.SRE Mindset: Minimum 3+ years of experience in an SRE, DevOps, or Systems Engineering role with a focus on high-availability systems.
  • Programming Proficiency: Strong coding skills in Python, Go for building internal tools and automating workflows.
  • Distributed Systems: Deep understanding of Linux internals, networking (TCP/IP, DNS, Load Balancing), and container orchestration (Kubernetes/GKE).
  • Problem Solving: A data-driven approach to debugging complex, cross-service performance bottlenecks.

Bonus Skills (The "Nice-to-Haves")
  • Telemetry Standards: Hands-on experience with OpenTelemetry (OTel), Vector, or similar frameworks for instrumenting applications.
  • Grafana Loki: Experience in migrating Splunk to Grafana Loki

Other Cloud Platforms: Experience managing observability native tools within AWS.
Additional requirements:
  • This position requires the ability to access federal environments and/or have access to protected federal data. As a condition of employment for this position, the successful candidate must be able to submit documentation establishing U.S. Person status (e.g. a U.S. Citizen, National, Lawful Permanent Resident, Refugee, or Asylee. 22 CFR 120.15) upon hire.
