Job Description
Platform/Observability Engineer opportunity - Quantitative Technology - London
  • Looking for an experienced Observability Engineer with a strong background in Platform Engineering, SRE or large-scale distributed systems
  • You'll be building and evolving large-scale telemetry platforms, improving Kubernetes observability and shaping how telemetry is collected and processed across a highly technical engineering environment
  • The focus is on developing scalable telemetry pipelines, working with OpenTelemetry collectors, SDKs and exporters, and improving platform reliability
  • You'll bring strong experience across OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes and AWS, alongside Go or Python
  • Experience with Datadog, New Relic or Dynatrace, as well as Terraform, Helm or ArgoCD, will be highly relevant
  • A background in SRE, platform infrastructure or building observability tooling at scale would be particularly attractive

This is a genuinely engineering-led observability opportunity within a leading quantitative technology firm, with the chance to build the platform itself rather than simply consume existing monitoring tools.
