Staff Software Engineer , Observability

The Observability team builds and maintains tools that let Reddit engineers understand their systems, primarily based on open-source technologies like Prometheus, Thanos, Vector, Clickhouse, and OTEL. The role involves working on monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing infrastructure that processes very large volumes of data, improving availability, scalability, and latency of these systems, and contributing upstream to the open-source projects used.

• 7+ years building internet-scale software, ideally in infrastructure contexts; familiarity with distributed systems and tools such as Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, Vector, Clickhouse, OTEL, or Loki is a plus; experience developing on Kubernetes or similar systems, with Kubernetes controller/operator experience being a strong plus; strong troubleshooting skills and ability to work independently on large engineering efforts.
