BlockFi is looking for an Observability Engineer to join our growing team!

About Your Team

The Observability team works remotely across different timezones and regions. They help the product and engineering organizations explore and understand our most critical systems.

Your Mission

As an Observability Engineer, you will build tools to measure the availability and performance of the BlockFi platform. Our work highly varies in its nature, ranging from writing and instrumenting services in Elixir and Python, to deploying infrastructure, mentoring junior engineers, giving talks and demos, and generally promoting best practices throughout the organization.

Responsibilities:

• Implement and maintain observability and monitoring tools across the entire stack; logging systems & aggregators, metrics monitoring tools, distributed tracing platforms, etc.
• Automate system processes to increase our velocity in managing uptime and risk mitigation
• Manage monitoring systems to support customer metrics delivery dashboards
• Debug issues and solve distributed systems challenges across services and levels of the stack
• Educate software & infrastructure engineering teams on observability & monitoring best practices
• Drive the continued evolution of monitoring tooling towards a standards-based self-service automated platform

• Metrics monitoring systems, such as Grafana, Prometheus, InfluxDB, etc...
• Distributed tracing platforms such as Jaeger, Zipkin, Honeycomb, etc...
• Communication: Strong written and spoken skill, we are an international company so being able to clearly share and document your thoughts and work is critical to your’s and the team's success
• Bonus Points for:
• Prior experience writing and maintaining Erlang/Elixir based systems.
• GRC: Knowledge and experience Governance, Risk, and Compliance best practices as it concerns regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection regulations.
• Enjoy teaching: Educating the product team on tool usage and instrumentation fosters a resilient team. So you don't mind dropping what you're working on from time to time to help an engineer from a different team instrument their code or debug something. You know how to build a compelling story and look forward to giving talks and demos.
