We are looking for a Senior Observability Engineer to define and implement enterprise-wide telemetry architecture standards for cloud-native and AI-driven platforms. The role focuses on OpenTelemetry, ADOT, AWS observability services, distributed tracing, AI/LLM observability, and cross-platform telemetry governance. The ideal candidate combines deep hands-on engineering expertise with the ability to establish observability standards across multiple teams and platforms.
Our customer is a multinational corporation with more than a century of history and offices in over 180 countries. Their most ambitious goal at the time is to introduce a range of Reduced-Risk Products (RRPs). The target audience is more than 1 billion consumers around the globe. IT platform hosts 700+ applications.
Intellia’s mission is to help the client with the engineering of a comprehensive software ecosystem for a game-changing IoT product on the margin of innovative consumer experience and cutting-edge technology. Our teams are involved in the engineering of core platform components for best-in-class eCommerce, Digital Marketing and IoT solutions. As an Engineer, you will become a part of Core Architecture Team and be responsible for the architecture, implementation of best practices in our Digital Engineering Enterprise Platform.
The Platform is a set of services and internet applications that accelerate the development and delivery of software applications by taking care of common SDLC challenges. The Platform provides access and consumption for engineering teams to a set of services, technologies, practices for their development and for operating their application, ensuring a set of compliance and best practices.
• OpenTelemetry architecture (SDK, Collector, semantic conventions — including GenAI SIG conventions for AI workloads)
• AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) — collector pipeline design, processor configuration, multi-exporter setup
• AWS CloudWatch (Logs Insights, EMF, composite alarms, cross-account aggregation)
• AWS X-Ray (distributed tracing, service maps, trace groups, sampling rules)
• New Relic (APM, distributed tracing, custom instrumentation, NRQL)
• OpenTelemetry GenAI SIG semantic conventions
• Agent/LLM observability (LangSmith, MLflow tracing, or equivalent)
• Cross-runtime observability architecture (multi-vendor telemetry consolidation patterns)
• Python (ADOT instrumentation, SDK development, integration with agent frameworks)
Experience:
• 5+ years of observability or platform engineering with hands-on OpenTelemetry implementation
• ADOT or OTel Collector pipeline design in production (processors, exporters, sampling)
• AWS CloudWatch and X-Ray at scale (multi-account, cross-service correlation)
• New Relic in enterprise environments (APM, custom dashboards, alerting)
• OpenTelemetry GenAI SIG semantic conventions or AI/LLM observability implementation
• Agent or LLM system observability (tracing LLM calls, tool invocations, token usage)
• Technical leadership translating enterprise requirements into actionable engineering plans
Will be a plus:
• Cross-team coordination on observability standards across multiple engineering teams
• AWS AgentCore Observability
• Experience with Datadog or Dynatrace in hybrid environments
• Strands or LangGraph agent framework instrumentation
