Benefits

Qualifications

• Location: New York (office-based) with travel to client sites as required
• Salary: Up to $140,000 per year (dependent on experience)
• Consulting experience is preferred but not essential – what matters most is deep, current, hands-on expertise with industry-standard observability platforms and their pipeline and transformation tooling.
• Deploy, configure and operate observability platforms and their collection/agent fleets across cloud, hybrid and on-premises environments
• Define deployment patterns and infrastructure-as-code for repeatable, automated platform rollouts
• Integrate observability platforms with client infrastructure, data sources and downstream destinations
• Own platform health, upgrades and capacity planning, and keep architecture and deployment documentation current
• Client Delivery
• Deliver observability platform and pipeline engagements directly with enterprise clients as a senior practitioner
• Own delivery outcomes for the platform and pipeline workstreams on assigned engagements
• Act as senior technical authority and escalation point for platform architecture, deployment and data pipeline issues
• Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis across enterprise observability platforms and telemetry pipelines

Responsibilities

• You will be the senior technical authority on observability platform architecture and data pipelines for the engagements you work on.
• While there is no permanent team to manage, on specific engagements you will provide technical leadership – mentoring junior engineers, planning the workstream and allocating tasks across the delivery team.
• If you would rather solve hard data-engineering and platform problems and lead through expertise than carry permanent people-management responsibility, this is the role.
• Pipeline Engineering & Delivery
• Design, build and operate telemetry pipelines that collect, route, transform, enrich, reduce and mask logs, metrics and traces at enterprise scale
• Develop and maintain data transformation logic – parsing, restructuring, filtering and normalising telemetry across formats and schemas
• Optimise pipelines for data quality, cost control and performance – reducing noise and volume without losing signal
• Onboard complex applications and data sources onto observability platforms
• Build, test and document reusable pipeline configurations, processors and templates
• Monitor pipeline health and throughput, and troubleshoot ingestion, routing and delivery issues
• Platform Architecture & Deployment
• Architect observability platform deployments – topology, sizing, high availability, resilience and scaling – to meet enterprise client
