My client is searching for an Automation & Observability Engineer to help drive automation initiatives and develop observability and alerting solutions aligned with the Firm’s data protection strategy.

In this role, you will work closely with internal teams to identify opportunities to improve the reliability of the data protection platform. Improvements may involve resolving underlying issues through automation, enhancing observability and alerting to speed up service recovery, or a combination of both. You will collaborate with the operations team to understand their challenges and deliver effective solutions.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience across modern automation and observability technologies, while also being comfortable working with legacy systems when needed. You must be able to interpret ambiguous requirements, advise stakeholders, and clearly communicate complex technical concepts. Experience with backup or storage technologies is beneficial but not essential.

Required Skills

Strong ability to interpret and refine ambiguous requirements
Excellent programming skills in Python; familiarity with Perl and/or PowerShell is a plus
Solid experience with Git and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins)
Strong knowledge of Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Cortex
Significant hands-on experience with Ansible
Strong understanding of REST APIs
Excellent debugging skills, including the ability to troubleshoot complex or unfamiliar issues beyond standard product documentation
