Senior Observability Engineer
Zurich |up to 40% working from home possible | Reference 7664
The Senior Observability Engineer is a hands-on role focused on building and delivering observability and AIOps as a shared engineering capability and service. You will help establish how observability is designed, implemented, and consumed across teams, leading early onboardings and shaping practical standards, processes, and ways of working.
Working closely with platform, product, and application teams, you will translate requirements into actionable observability solutions, implement and operate core capabilities, and continuously improve how insights, alerting, and automation support reliable services. As a core contributor to the Observability & AIOps Center of Excellence, you will combine deep technical execution with strong ownership of service quality, operational readiness, and capability maturity
What You Will Do
- Design, implement, and operate observability and AIOps capabilities for cloud-native and hybrid environments, supporting reliable, production-grade services
- Lead the onboarding of early adopter teams and services, defining and applying standards for telemetry, SLIs, SLOs, and alerting in real-world systems
- Work hands-on with engineering, SRE, and operations teams to gather requirements and translate them into actionable observability and automation solutions
- Build and maintain telemetry pipelines, dashboards, and alerting, leveraging OpenTelemetry to deliver meaningful insights and reduce operational noise
- Run and evolve observability services in Kubernetes environments, using Helm and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), integrating with ITSM, ticketing and event management systems
What You Bring
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in observability, SRE, platform, or reliability engineering, operating and supporting production systems
- Experience building or scaling observability capabilities, ideally in greenfield or early-stage environments, and turning requirements into working solutions
- Strong practical knowledge of modern observability practices, including OpenTelemetry, metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerting
- Solid experience with cloud-native environments, operating Kubernetes-based workloads using Helm and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)
- Experience with common observability toolchains (such as Grafana and Elastic Stack), with scripting or automation skills considered a plus
