About the role
You will define the observability platform vision and execute it end-to-end by partnering with software teams to instrument services correctly and consistently. You will deliver 100% coverage of distributed tracing in collaboration with development teams, ensuring tracing is implemented optimally with the right balance rather than tracing “everything.” You will own and evolve OpenTelemetry enablement—including libraries, process documents, and design patterns that accelerate adoption in Go and Python applications. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 2+ years of experience in Splunk Cloud and Splunk Observability (or SignalFx): experience using Splunk Cloud for logging and Splunk Observability for metrics and traces
- Experience with distributed tracing concepts and implementation, including instrumentation approaches and strategies for managing scope and overhead
- Experience coding in Python and/or Go, including building libraries, automation, or operational tooling that supports observability platforms

The Platform and Security team within Cisco’s AI Software and Platform Group designs and operates the infrastructure that powers Cisco’s AI powered offerings, including Cisco Cloud Control, AI Defense, and AI Canvas. Within this team, the Observability Engineering group provides the metrics, traces, and logs needed to keep these services observable and ensure the most important workflows are continuously monitored. You’ll partner across the AI Software and Platform group to set observability standards, deliver platform solutions, and raise the bar for what “great” looks like in production reliability. What’s exciting: you’ll help build an agentic observability outcome where health insights can be surfaced faster and more intelligently than traditional dashboards and alerts.
