Senior Observability Platform Engineer
About The Position
Nordic Investin is recruiting a Senior Observability Platform Engineer on behalf of one of our partner companies. The partner is building a shared observability capability for workloads across established and new developer platforms. You will design, implement and operate the stack while helping teams adopt useful standards. The platform is treated as a service used by engineers and business teams. Success will be measured through safer change, lower operational friction and clearer ownership rather than the number of tools introduced. The work combines planned platform development with investigation of real production behaviour. You will collaborate with application teams, security and operations, using their feedback to decide what should become a shared service, an automated control or clear documentation. Ownership continues after the first release. As a senior colleague, you will own substantial outcomes and help others make stronger decisions. You are expected to recognise risk early, communicate it without drama and move work forward with practical alternatives. The role still includes hands on delivery; seniority here means broader judgement, not distance from the work.
Requirements
- Strong hands on platform or SRE experience.
- Production knowledge of metrics, logs and distributed tracing.
- Experience with tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Elastic or Datadog.
