Description

We are a globally distributed team inside Adobe Developer Platforms, owning the observability platform Adobe's engineering ecosystem runs on. This platform spans 50,000+ nodes, billions of OTel events daily, and an auth service built in Go that handles 15,000 req/sec.

You will compose, build, and run Adobe's observability platform at scale. Your responsibilities include:

  • Writing Go and Python to extend OpenTelemetry Collector receivers, processors, and exporters, contribute to open-source, and build internal services, APIs, and tooling around them
  • Driving cost optimisation by analysing pipeline data, building guardrails, and engaging engineering teams
  • Building developer-facing tooling and services, including AI-powered insight from high-volume telemetry and observability for AI and agent-based systems
  • Owning SLOs and SLIs for a platform thousands of engineers rely on every day
  • Leading on-call and incident response for high-severity issues

Requirements:

  • Strong, hands-on Go and/or Python
  • 5–8+ years building and owning production software at scale, ideally platform or infrastructure products used by other engineers
  • Experience with OpenTelemetry, large-scale logging infrastructure, and distributed applications on cloud platforms
  • Familiarity with container and orchestration technologies like Docker and Kubernetes
  • Comfortable owning on-call across a multi-tool observability stack

Nice to have:

  • Experience evaluating and prototyping alternative Observability platforms
  • Experience with other Observability tooling like Grafana, Cortex, ElasticSearch, DataDog, VictoriaMetrics, Mimir
  • TypeScript/React
  • Experience instrumenting AI/LLM or agent-based systems
