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

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

Requirements

• Experience building or scaling observability platforms in production.
• Strong AWS and EKS/Kubernetes knowledge.
• Good understanding of logs, metrics, telemetry and alerting.
• 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.
