The Observability (OBS) team is looking to hire a Staff Software Engineer that thrives at the intersection of infrastructure and software development. This team own a suite of tools for allowing engineers to understand their creations, based primarily on open-source solutions at scale. We’re active users of and contributors to Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, Vector and more.
Monitoring
We run a monitoring stack at reddit that processes billions of data-points a minute. Our stack is one of the larger deployments in the world of Prometheus/Thanos/Grafana, and with this come unique challenges of scale for these systems. Fun problems include performance engineering on a distributed query system and product thinking around new features to remove the user pain from this stack.
Logging
We also operate a hybrid system for logging that involves some open source (Vector) and SaaS for the search backend. The team is working to provide new features, and deliver more reliable, scalable logging in the future.
Distributed Tracing
We’re in the midst of releasing a tracing product for internal use at Reddit, based on OTEL, Clickhouse, and Grafana. There will be ongoing work to scale this platform and add features.
As a member of the Observability team, your work will span these domains, which are rich with challenging infrastructure and software engineering problems. Your work will directly impact hundreds of millions of users around the world. Join us and help build the future of Reddit!
