Implementation Engineer, Observe

What You’ll Do

• Lead structured implementations for enterprise customers, from kickoff through initial production readiness

• Design and configure telemetry ingestion pipelines across logs, metrics, and traces, including parsing, enrichment, normalization, and routing

• Work hands-on with OpenTelemetry instrumentation and collectors, helping customers adopt modern, vendor-neutral observability standards

• Migrate and modernize existing observability environments (e.g., Splunk, ELK, cloud-native monitoring tools) into Observe

• Configure datasets, dashboards, alerts, and core observability assets aligned to customer use cases

• Establish implementation plans, milestones, and success criteria in partnership with customers

• Deliver practical, hands-on guidance that enables customers to become self-sufficient on the platform

• Identify technical risks, data quality issues, or architectural gaps early and proactively address them

• Capture implementation patterns, best practices, and reusable assets to improve consistency and scalability across the team

• Collaborate closely with Observability Engineers, Architects, Support, Product, and Engineering to ensure smooth transitions and ongoing success

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in customer-facing technical roles such as implementation engineer, solutions architect, technical consultant, or SRE

• Strong hands-on experience with observability platforms and telemetry pipelines

• Practical experience with OpenTelemetry (instrumentation, collectors, exporters, pipelines)

• Experience working with one or more commercial or open-source observability solutions (e.g., Splunk, ELK/Elastic, Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace, Grafana)

• Solid understanding of logs, metrics, and traces, including data modeling and tradeoffs at scale

• Experience working in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure) and modern application architectures

• Ability to work directly with technical customer teams and communicate clearly at multiple levels

• Strong problem-solving skills and comfort working through ambiguity in fast-moving environments

Nice to Have

• Experience migrating customers from Splunk or ELK to modern observability platforms

• Background in SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering roles

• Familiarity with Kubernetes, containerized workloads, and cloud-native tooling

• Experience creating implementation templates, runbooks, or enablement content

• Exposure to multiple observability vendors or hybrid observability environments

This role is ideal for a technically strong practitioner who enjoys building real solutions with customers, delivering early wins, and helping shape repeatable, scalable post-sales practices.
