Network Observability Engineer

Role overview Build and operate systems that turn network telemetry into useful insight about enterprise network health, performance, and availability. The role spans the systems engineering lifecycle, from gathering requirements and designing solutions through development, integration, documentation, and ongoing support. Work includes observability platforms, automation, and analytical methods that help operations teams find and resolve issues.

Responsibilities - Work with network and engineering teams to define monitoring needs and deliver observability solutions. - Ingest and interpret logs, traffic-flow data, device metrics, and streaming telemetry; create searches, dashboards, alerts, and reports. - Develop scripts and API integrations to collect data, enrich events, and connect monitoring systems with enterprise tools. - Connect monitoring events to incident-management workflows and support automated routing and resolution. - Apply machine learning methods to identify anomalies, correlate events, and anticipate performance issues. - Troubleshoot complex monitoring problems, document procedures, and communicate findings to technical and business stakeholders.

Requirements - A relevant bachelor’s degree and at least four years of industry experience, or additional experience in place of a degree. - Strong knowledge of network design, protocols, performance, and device or traffic telemetry. - Practical experience configuring observability platforms such as Splunk or OpenSearch, including data onboarding, queries, dashboards, and alerts. - Experience with SNMP, NetFlow, OpenConfig, and OpenTelemetry. - Programming and scripting ability, preferably in Python, plus experience building automation and REST API integrations. - Experience applying machine learning to network monitoring; familiarity with SD-WAN, SQL and ODBC, and IT service management practices; U.S. citizenship.

Nice to have Experience with network monitoring and AIOps platforms, telemetry pipeline tools, incident-management integrations, Git, CI/CD, synthetic monitoring, or relevant networking and observability certifications.
