About this role
Job title: Senior DevOps/SRE Engineer - Observability Platform
About the Role We are a globally distributed team inside Adobe Developer Platforms responsible for the observability infrastructure that powers Adobe's engineering ecosystem. You will help design, operate, and scale the pipelines and tooling that process billions of events daily and ensure reliability for thousands of engineers.
What You'll Do
- Design and operate Adobe's observability infrastructure at scale – Splunk, Loki, ClickHouse, Cortex, Tempo, and OTel collector pipelines processing billions of events daily
- 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
What We're Looking For
- 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
Nice to Have
- 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
