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.
