ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to support platform reliability, monitoring, and modernization across Kubernetes-based microservices environments with a strong observability focus. You will build and maintain Datadog solutions including dashboards, alerts, APM, metrics, logging, and tracing, integrate observability tooling into AWS and CI/CD pipelines, and automate monitoring and operational tasks using Python. The role blends software engineering (60–70%) with site reliability engineering (30–40%) and requires JST timezone overlap.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Support platform reliability, monitoring, and continuous improvement across internal systems.

- Work in Kubernetes-based environments.

- Build and maintain observability solutions, with a focus on Datadog.

- Configure dashboards, alerts, APM, metrics, logging, and tracing.

- Monitor containerized and microservices-based applications.

- Integrate observability tools into AWS environments.

- Integrate observability into CI/CD pipelines.

- Automate monitoring and operational tasks using scripting (Python preferred).

- Install and configure Datadog agents and integrations.

- Manage API keys and secure configurations.

- Manage user roles and access controls within observability platforms.

- Lead maintenance efforts and platform improvements while driving reliability, scalability, and performance.

MUST HAVES

- Strong proficiency in Python, JavaScript (Node.js), or Java.

- Hands-on experience with API integrations (designing, consuming, and integrating).

- Strong experience working in Kubernetes environments (deployment, operations, monitoring).

- Experience with Datadog (preferred) or similar tools (Prometheus, Grafana).

- Ability to configure dashboards, alerts, and APM (tracing, metrics, logging).

- Experience monitoring containerized/microservices architectures.

- Hands-on experience with AWS.

NICE TO HAVES

- Experience owning and operating an internal engineering platform.

- Demonstrated ownership of reliability, scalability, and performance.

- Proven ability to proactively lead maintenance efforts and platform improvements (not just reactive support).

- Familiarity with Golang.

- Experience with additional observability tools such as New Relic, Dynatrace, Elastic, or Splunk Observability.
