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.

Requirements:

- 4+ years of observability or platform engineering
- ADOT or OTel collector pipeline design
- Python SDK or library development
- AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) collector configuration (pipelines, processors, exporters)
- OpenTelemetry SDK extension patterns (custom metrics, custom spans, configurable telemetry)
- AWS CloudWatch Metrics and X-Ray export pipelines
- YAML-driven telemetry configuration schemas

Nice to have:

- Strands or LangGraph framework familiarity
- Customer-facing SDK extensibility patterns
- CloudWatch custom metrics and dimensions

Responsibilities:

- Design and implement observability solutions for AI platforms, agent-based systems, and distributed cloud-native applications.

- Develop and maintain distributed tracing solutions using AWS X-Ray and OpenTelemetry.
- Configure telemetry collection, propagation, and export pipelines across AWS environments.
- Implement and maintain CloudWatch dashboards, metrics, logs, and alerting strategies for operational visibility and troubleshooting.
- Establish monitoring standards for AI agents, tool invocations, workflow execution, and service-to-service communication.
- Integrate observability capabilities with AWS AgentCore Observability and related platform services.
- Ensure proper W3C Trace Context and Baggage propagation across applications, APIs, and agent workflows.
- Instrument LangChain-based applications and AI services to capture traces, metrics, and execution insights.
- Partner with AI engineers and platform teams to identify performance bottlenecks, reliability issues, and optimization opportunities.
- Build structured logging and telemetry standards that support debugging, root-cause analysis, and operational governance.
- Contribute to observability best practices, platform standards, and engineering guidelines for AI and cloud-native systems.
