  • You will develop advanced workflows that accelerate incident diagnosis for Bricksters, allowing engineers to quickly derive insights from logs and metrics. You will leverage powerful capabilities of Databricks' own data intelligence platform to push the boundaries of troubleshooting practices in the industry.
  • You will uplevel monitoring and reliability practices across Databricks engineering, developing opinionated tools that set common standards for managing structured logs, metrics, alerts, dashboards, and oncall rotations.
  • Mentor and uplevel engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence within the team and broader observability community.
What we look for:
    • BS (or higher) in Computer Science, or a related field.
    • 15+ years of production-level experience in one of: Go, Python, Java, Scala, Rust, C++, or similar languages.
    • Experience in software development, in large-scale distributed systems.
    • Experience driving large projects involving multiple teams
    • Experience with cloud technologies, e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, or Kubernetes.
