This role is ideal for a highly driven, self-managed engineer with a passion for building robust cloud-native platforms and mentoring others.
You will design and support systems using modern DevOps practices, infrastructure as code, and observability tooling, with a strong emphasis on the Elastic Stack for system monitoring and insights.

- Build and manage robust observability systems using the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) to support logging, metrics, and alerting.
- Collaborate with application and data teams to ensure platform capabilities meet engineering needs.
- Lead platform initiatives, establish best practices, and ensure infrastructure reliability, scalability, and performance.
- Foster a culture of continuous improvement by mentoring engineers and promoting knowledge sharing.
- Act as a strategic partner in shaping technical direction and infrastructure vision.
- Participate in on-call rotations and provide technical leadership during incidents.
