WHAT YOU'LL DO
We are looking for a Senior Observability Platform Engineer to help evolve observability as a business-critical platform capability at Optiver. You will work on the shared platform behind metrics, logs, traces, events, alerts, dashboards, diagnostics, instrumentation and service health. This is a platform engineering role for someone who enjoys building reliable systems used by other engineers. You will help turn a capable but heterogeneous observability foundation into a globally consistent, regionally federated platform that is reliable at scale, easy to adopt, and deeply embedded in how Optiver builds and operates production systems. As a Senior Observability Platform Engineer, you will design, build, and operate components that help engineers, operators, trading teams, automated systems, and future agent-based workflows collect, query, understand, and act on production signals. You will work across platform and production domains: building high-scale telemetry pipelines, improving instrumentation quality, creating golden paths for adoption, and making observability more useful during real production investigations. In this role, you will:
You are a strong engineer with experience in production systems, platform engineering, SRE, infrastructure, observability, or distributed systems. You are comfortable working on systems that need to be reliable, scalable, understandable, and useful to other engineers. You understand that observability is not just a tooling problem. It is about signal quality, platform reliability, developer experience, production workflows, and adoption. You care about building systems that engineers trust, operators can rely on, and production teams can depend on during high-pressure situations.
