We are forming a new Observability team responsible for the design, evolution, and operation of our company-wide monitoring, logging, and tracing platforms.

This role is a key part of our strategic shift from Datadog to a self-hosted observability stack fully compliant with local regulatory requirements.

Today, we operate multiple observability systems — our legacy stack based on Datadog (logs, metrics, APM, RUM, dashboards, and alerts), and our new Elastic Enterprise platform used for storing audit, access, application, and database logs required by regulators.

On top of Elastic, we've built SOC2 and SIEM integrations with external vendors.

You'll be part of a small, highly technical team tasked with defining the future of observability at scale - designing, migrating, and maintaining the platforms that power visibility, compliance, and reliability across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

Operate and maintain Elastic Enterprise clusters (index lifecycle, scaling, retention, access control, backups)

Design and manage log pipelines (Fluentd / Fluent Bit / Logstash / Beats) for applications, databases, and infrastructure

Support and gradually decommission Datadog integrations (logs, metrics, APM, RUM, dashboards, monitors)

Collaborate with SRE, DevOps, and Security teams to ensure observability compliance and integration with SOC2 / SIEM

Define and maintain SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets, improving service reliability and visibility

Implement and optimize metrics and APM solutions (Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Mimir, etc.)

Automate observability infrastructure with Terraform, Helm, and GitOps tools (FluxCD or ArgoCD)

Document architecture, data flows, and best practices

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Must-Have

4+ years in DevOps / SRE / Observability roles

Solid experience with Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Beats, log shippers)

Hands-on experience building or running APM / Metrics platforms (Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, Mimir, etc.)

Exposure to security monitoring / SIEM integration

Strong experience in Grafana Labs tools like Loki, Tempo, etc

Nice to Have:

Familiarity with Kafka, ClickHouse, or Grafana Loki

Knowledge of Kubernetes and cloud platforms (GCP, OCI, or AWS)

Benefits

Design and build the next-generation observability platform from the ground up

Work on large-scale, multi-cloud environments with a strong focus on compliance, performance, and reliability

Collaborate with experienced SRE, Platform, and Security teams

Competitive compensation, hybrid work model, and strong career growth opportunities

What we offer:

Full-time B2B contract

Fully remote setup, work from anywhere in Europe

Up to 20% tax allowance

22 paid leave days annually

Stock options (ESOP) in a fast-scaling, pre-IPO company

Flexi benefits you can use for wellness, travel, or learning

Work alongside a high-performing, international engineering team in a global fintech unicorn
