[Hiring] Data platform SRE Observability Engineer @Emerging Travel Group

Role Description

• Develop end-to-end monitoring for all infrastructure stacks, including Trino, Kubernetes, databases, and Big Data (Apache Ozone and Hadoop);
• Implement automatic collection of DORA metrics and create high-level health dashboards to visualize service uptime;
• Audit current metrics and address gaps in infrastructure monitoring, particularly in K8s, databases, and distributed storage systems;
• Optimize and update Alertmanager rules to intercept incidents and anomalies before they impact users or are manually detected;
• Serve as a single point of expertise in monitoring to free team leads from routine dashboard configuration and alerting support tasks.

Qualifications

• Experience from 3 years as DevOps/SRE and from 5 years in IT, experience as an SRE or monitoring engineer with an emphasis on infrastructure reliability rather than product feature development;
• Experience with Python (Go/JS as a plus);
• Deep knowledge of Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager, including writing complex PromQL queries and addressing alert fatigue;
• Practical understanding of SLI/SLO/SLA concepts, error budgets, and the methodology for collecting DORA metrics;
• Experience with containerization (Kubernetes) and databases, as well as the ability to quickly grasp metrics of distributed systems (Hadoop, Trino);
• Ability to translate abstract system behaviors and logs into clear, structured, and actionable metrics;
• Experience working with ClickHouse, Vertica, StarRocks, or Greenplum.
