Description
We are hiring Engineers to help build LSEG's internal observability platform, which brings telemetry, dashboards, alerts, service health, and operational insight into one common experience.
The platform is built on a modular, standards-based stack using OpenTelemetry, Cribl, ClickHouse, Grafana, and Redis, with integration points to Datadog, BigPanda, and other tooling where needed.
As an Engineer in this role, you will:
- Design, build, and maintain Cribl pipelines for telemetry routing, normalisation, enrichment, filtering, and fanout across multiple destinations.
- Develop and manage Cribl packs to standardise pipeline logic across teams and signal types.
- Deliver features and improvements from the platform product backlog, including design, implementation, testing, and documentation.
- Implement and maintain OpenTelemetry collector configurations for diverse signal types, including metrics, logs, traces, and events.
- Design and evolve ClickHouse schemas for telemetry storage and query performance.
- Build Grafana dashboards and alerting configurations for platform and user team use cases.
- Develop integrations with Datadog, BigPanda, and other downstream systems via APIs and automation.
- Write infrastructure-as-code using Terraform for platform components and integrations.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows in collaboration with the DevOps engineer.
- Participate in code reviews, uphold engineering standards, and contribute to a healthy engineering culture.
You will need:
- Hands-on Cribl experience: building and operating pipelines, routes, and packs in a production environment.
- Experience in software or platform engineering, with a track record of delivering production-quality features in a team environment.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals: readable code, testing practices, version control, and active code review participation.
- Experience developing integrations using REST APIs or event-driven patterns.
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and with CI/CD pipeline tooling.
- Understanding of telemetry concepts including metrics, logs, traces, cardinality, retention, and pipeline design.
In return, you will have the opportunity to build something that genuinely matters, a platform that improves how engineering teams across a global enterprise understand and operate their systems. You will also benefit from a range of tailored benefits and support, including healthcare, retirement planning, paid volunteering days, and wellbeing initiatives.
