Senior DevOps Engineer - Observability

Description

The Team

We are a globally distributed team inside Adobe Developer Platforms. We own the observability platform Adobe's engineering ecosystem runs on – one of the largest logging deployments in the industry, spanning 50,000+ nodes, billions of OTel events daily, and an auth service we built in Go that handles 15,000 req/sec. Every Adobe engineer depends on what we ship.

We build it, we ship it, we run it.

• Drive cost optimisation: analyse pipeline data, build guardrails, and engage engineering teams
• Build AI-powered tooling that surfaces actionable insights from high-volume log datasets and automates routine platform workflows
• Own SLOs and SLIs for a platform thousands of engineers rely on every day
• Own on-call, lead incident response for high-severity issues, and make every shift better than the last

• 5–8+ years of professional DevOps or SRE experience, with a track record of owning production systems at scale
• Deep hands-on experience with large-scale logging infrastructure – Splunk, Loki, ClickHouse, or Elastic
• Solid working knowledge of OpenTelemetry: collector configuration, pipelines, and instrumentation
• Strong programming skills in Go and/or Python; experience building integrations and applications to large-scale Observability environments
• Experience developing, deploying and running distributed applications on cloud platforms; experience with container and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Comfortable owning on-call across a multi-tool observability stack, including leading Sev 1/2 incident response
• Experience evaluating and prototyping alternative storage/processing backends (e.g., ClickHouse, Loki) as part of a cost or stability migration
• Experience with other Observability tooling like Grafana, Cortex, and Tempo
• Promote the DevOps/SRE approach
