What you'll do- Lead a team of 6 engineers owning end-to-end observability across the company's infrastructure, including logs, metrics, traces, and event-based monitoring
- Own the roadmap for our observability and cost initiative independently, no PM or TPM support, meeting directly with engineering managers across the company to identify pain points and design end-to-end solutions
- Drive down time to detect and time to mitigate for production incidents across a system where a single request can traverse 60+ services
- Extend observability coverage beyond our original food delivery systems into new physical domains, including autonomous mining transport, as the company's mission expands
- Maintain and grow a highly cost-efficient observability stack (currently running at a fraction of comparable third-party tooling costs)
- Represent the technical state of your domain in real time, speaking confidently to feasibility, scope, and timelines for any ask without needing to defer to others
- Stay hands-on (roughly a third of your time), jumping in to unblock the team when needed, using AI tools to analyze issues and surface insights, without sitting on the critical path for delivery
- Grow the careers of the engineers on your team while maintaining strong technical ownership of your domain
What we're looking for- 2+ years of experience managing and growing engineering teams, ideally within observability, platform, or infrastructure functions
- Strong foundation in engineering architecture and design fundamentals, enough to evaluate your team's technical decisions and push back constructively, even if you're not the one architecting solutions day to day
- Comfort operating without a PM or TPM, someone who can independently scope a roadmap, prioritize competing asks, and drive execution with high ownership
- Experience with, or ability to quickly ramp on, our stack: Go, Azure/Azure Kubernetes, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, ClickHouse, OpenTelemetry. Prior Go experience is not required
