Sr Software Engineer II

About the Role Observability Platform is a mission within Uber Infrastructure that is charged with measuring, monitoring, and providing tools for quick or even automated remediation for every outage for every mission-critical service at Uber. Headquartered in New York City we partner teams in San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Vilnius, the Oberservability Platform team develops and provides a portfolio of measurement, monitoring, tracing, logging, dependency comprehension, and on-call experience platforms to keep Uber highly reliable and provide extreme leverage to software developers across Uber. Our platforms are: Sawmill our fast and reliable schema agnostic log analytics platform that ingests 900TB of logs a day. [M3](https://github.com/m3db),a world-class, open-source, end-to-end metrics stack that includes: a scalable distributed time series database, a tag-based query language, and a fleet-wide ingestion pipeline. At Uber we use this stack to monitor thousands of services that run across tens of thousands of machines, processing hundreds of millions of data points per second. [Jaeger](https://www.jaegertracing.io/),our open source distributed tracing platform, incubating at Cloud Native Computing Foundation ([io](http://cncf.io/)). It provides actionable insight into individual flows through our microservice architecture, and comprehension of the entirety of Uber's software ecosystem. What You'll Do The Telemetry Platform team is building systems for consumption by every other engineering team at Uber. Contribute to the development, design and architecture of the Telemetry platform. Write clear documentation so that other engineers can make the most of what we deliver to them. Get to know engineering teams across Uber to understand their requirements and pains so we can develop the right solutions. What You'll Need We are seeing an experienced distributed systems engineer to work in one of the strongest technical teams at Uber. It will require solid experience building large-scale distributed systems. Good programming skills in Go, or Java / C and an ability to pick up new languages.
