Observability Engineer

Be a part of a unique Observability challenge - monitoring uptime and reliability of independent/3rd party oracle providers. Observability at Chainlink Labs is going through a transition from traditional time series-based monitoring toward an event-driven architecture and alerting approach. You will have a significant impact as we grow the Chainlink eco-system and ensure the best experience for our customers by ensuring reliable uptime.

You’ll develop and build highly scalable, secure, and reliable software that will change the way smart contracts function at a fundamental level. You’ll have the opportunity to learn and master the latest research concerning distributed systems, cryptography, blockchains, game theory, consensus algorithms, and decentralized applications.

You will be given a high level of autonomy/ownership over your projects, the opportunity to expand your scope of knowledge, and the chance to help build the decentralized infrastructure of the future.

    • Oversee the availability, performance, and supportability of our observability infrastructure.
    • Create processes around alert response operations and support the team to ensure the reliable delivery of oracle data.
    • Make recommendations to ensure sufficient metrics are collected to create alerts with every new feature release.
    • Thinking creatively about attack vectors, possible failures, and disaster scenarios, modeling them in reproducible test environments, and developing fixes.
    • Implementing resilient distributed systems to achieve extremely high reliability in a variety of blockchain environments.

Requirements

    • 3+ years of professional experience as a software developer / DevOps engineer or equivalent
    • Experience with either Prometheus or Kafka required
    • Deep knowledge of at least Go, Java/the JVM, or Kafka Streams required
    • Experience administering Kafka Connect, Confluent Platform, and/or Kubernetes is a plus
    • Experience working with logging, monitoring, and alerting tools (e.g. Grafana, ELK stack, Splunk, etc.)Experience supporting complex web applications/services and backend APIs on an AWS stack
    • Demonstrated understanding of infrastructure as code, container networking, and security
    • Experience with test-driven development and the use of testing frameworks
    • Strong communication skills, specifically giving/receiving constructive feedback in a collaborative setting
