A leading hedge fund is looking for a Platform Engineer to help build and scale observability across a large AWS and Kubernetes environment.

The firm already has an established observability capability across its on-premises estate and is now building the equivalent platform across a growing, multi-account AWS environment.

Key Responsibilities

1. Build scalable observability patterns across AWS and Kubernetes.
2. Integrate cloud telemetry with existing logging, metrics and alerting platforms.
3. Automate workload onboarding, alerting and dashboard configuration.
4. Link observability data to service ownership and incident-management tooling.
5. Reduce manual effort through standardisation and automation.

Requirements

1. Experience building or scaling observability platforms in production.
2. Strong AWS and EKS/Kubernetes knowledge.
3. Good understanding of logs, metrics, telemetry and alerting.
4. Experience with IaC and automation.

The core challenge is building a cloud observability platform that scales, integrates with service ownership, supports both existing and new workloads and is easy for engineering teams to adopt.
