About the Role
Optiver is seeking a Senior Observability Platform Engineer to enhance observability as a critical business capability. This role involves working on a shared platform for metrics, logs, traces, events, alerts, dashboards, diagnostics, and service health. The engineer will help transform a heterogeneous observability foundation into a globally consistent, reliable, and easy-to-adopt platform, deeply integrated into production system operations.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate components of Optiver’s shared observability platform across telemetry collection, ingestion, storage, query, visualization, alerting, diagnostics, and service health.
- Build software, services, APIs, integrations, libraries, dashboards, automation, and reusable patterns to simplify observability adoption and improve operational reliability.
- Enhance the scalability, reliability, performance, cost-effectiveness, and operational quality of high-volume telemetry systems.
- Improve developer and operator experience through self-service workflows, golden paths, documentation, investigation tooling, and practical platform abstractions.
- Collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, trading systems, research, and regional operations teams to understand production debugging needs and boost observability adoption.
- Own the reliability and operational quality of built components, including service health, failure modes, monitoring, incident learnings, and continuous improvement.
- Elevate the standard for telemetry quality, instrumentation, alerting, dashboards, diagnostic workflows, and service health across Optiver.
Requirements
- Strong engineering experience in SRE, software engineering, platform engineering, infrastructure, observability, developer tooling, or distributed systems.
- A production mindset, with the ability to reason about failure modes, debugging workflows, service reliability, operational impact, and system behavior under pressure.
- Technical understanding of modern observability practices across logs, metrics, traces, events, alerting, dashboards, telemetry pipelines, diagnostics, instrumentation quality, and service health.
- Experience designing, building, or operating reliable services, platforms, pipelines, tools, or automation used by other engineering teams.
- Good judgment in technical trade-offs across performance, scalability, reliability, complexity, cost, and maintainability.
- A delivery mindset, with the ability to transform ambiguous platform problems into practical, reliable solutions.
- Strong preference for candidates with experience on observability, SRE, infrastructure, platform, production engineering, or developer tooling teams in large-scale distributed systems environments, including telemetry pipelines, streaming systems, time-series data, log platforms, query systems, alerting systems, or production diagnostics tooling.
- Experience with technologies such as Kafka, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, ClickHouse, VictoriaMetrics, InfluxDB, Telegraf, Vector, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus-style systems, or custom telemetry collectors is valued.
