VP, Software Engineering - Observability

Role: VP, Software Engineering - Observability

Location: Pune

Work Mode: Hybrid

Overview:

We are currently hiring a Lead Software Engineer to drive the design and evolution of large-scale observability platforms for enterprise-grade systems.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering excellence, platform reliability, and strategic technology leadership, with a strong focus on building robust observability frameworks across distributed environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and scale high-quality software solutions aligned with modern engineering practices
• Architect and implement observability platforms across logs, metrics, and traces
• Drive adoption of OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana across teams and systems
• Define and operationalise SLOs and SLIs to improve system reliability and performance
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align technology solutions with business objectives
• Mentor engineers and promote best practices in instrumentation, monitoring, and alerting
• Contribute to a culture of code quality, innovation, and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For:

• Strong experience in large-scale distributed systems and observability
• Hands-on expertise with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and tracing platforms
• Proficiency across multiple languages such as Java, Python, Go, or Node.js
• Deep understanding of structured logging, metrics, and tracing frameworks
• Proven ability to define and drive reliability engineering practices (SLOs/SLIs)
• Experience in influencing engineering strategy and mentoring teams

You will play a critical role in shaping how modern systems are observed, measured, and improved; enabling engineering teams to build resilient and high-performing platforms at scale.

In a world of distributed systems, it's not the failure that defines engineering maturity, it's how quickly and intelligently you can observe, understand, and respond to it.
