Senior Manager, Observability at The Climate Corporation in Seattle, WA
Description Position Overview:
Climate has a unique value proposition over other companies - our engineering organization wants guidance from Performance Engineering experts, giving them the freedom to specify and utilize the best-of-breed tools and best practices. You won't spend your time testing with synthetic workloads overcoming skepticism; you'll be working directly on production without the stress of daily firefighting. Your measure of success is site performance and Hapdex, a term we coined for transaction performance and engineering/customer happiness - how about that? At Climate, we believe that a great manager empowers people and wants them to grow. They create high-performing teams that have a deep sense of belonging, trust, safety, respect, collaboration and are able to push each other to perform more effectively. They remove obstacles, help develop stretch goals and enable everyone to take action and rise to their natural best to deliver and make a lasting meaningful impact. They create a culture flywheel that accelerates the team's impact and engineering velocity. Climate's Infrastructure Engineering organization has an Observability team to help drive visibility and performance optimizations into our global service offerings. We are looking for a senior manager to lead, expand, and build systems that will give insights into our next-generation platforms. Observability is one of the highest leverage teams in Climate as it enables teams to understand their services' behavior before and after deployment, reducing bugs and support issues. Your goal is to minimize time spent to detect, triage, fix and maintain our services and better tooling, training, migration, adoption, assistance is required ongoing. We are building a state-of-the-art Observability solution to process terabytes of operational and engineering data, providing engineers with deep insight (including financial) into the services they own. We work closely with cloud infrastructure and application engineering teams and thrive on developing a deep understanding (both operational and financial) of our large, complex and secure microservices environment.
