Cloud Infrastructure Engineer - Observability

Join SADA as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer - Observability!

As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer - Observability at SADA, you will work collaboratively to deliver high quality observability solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for our cloud and hybrid-cloud customers. You should be familiar with instrumentation techniques, monitoring and distributed systems, and you should have experience working with market-leading observability platforms like New Relic and Dynatrace to detect and diagnose performance bottlenecks based on telemetry data.

You will have an opportunity to work on real-world problems facing our customers in the field. While this position primarily focuses on observability platform delivery projects, you will also be required to be hands-on deliver on other GCP focused projects that cover a range of domain areas, such as workload migrations from on-prem or other clouds to GCP, standing up experimental infrastructures on GCP, building hybrid-cloud solutions on top of Kubernetes and Anthos, and developing fully automated CI/CD pipelines. 

You possess a diverse background in areas such as application design, distributed systems, application performance management, and deployment strategies. To be successful, one must know how to navigate ambiguity, have extensive experience working with cloud technologies, have technical depth, and enjoy working with customers. 

In this role, you will:

• Be expected to tackle all technical challenges on whole projects and should be able to work independently, but should be a major participant in team reviews. 
• Be recognized as having technical mastery within the practice with an established reputation with Google and our customers. 
• Have demonstrable experience with public facing activities such as blogs, presentations, webinars, and OSS contributions. 
• Ensure the best architecture and engineering approach is applied. You will be expected to repeatedly deliver complex projects, including complex technical components of the engagement. 

#MakeThemRave is at the foundation of every project our engineering teams take on. Our singular goal is to provide customers with the best possible experience in migrating, building, modernizing, and operationalizing their systems in Google Cloud Platform. 

Your success starts by positively impacting the direction of a dynamic practice with vision and passion. You will be measured quarterly by the breadth, magnitude, and quality of your contributions, your ability to estimate accurately, customer feedback at the close of projects, how well you collaborate with your peers, and the consultative polish you bring to customer interactions.  

 As you continue to execute successfully, we will build a customized development plan together that leads you through the engineering or management growth tracks.
