Our diverse product offering includes intelligent solar inverters, battery storage, backup systems, EV charging, and complete home energy management ecosystems. With world-class engineering and a relentless focus on innovation, we are creating a world where clean, green energy from the sun powers our homes, businesses, and communities.

We are looking for a Senior Observability & SRE Engineer to lead the evolution of our observability and reliability practices across a complex, distributed system landscape. This is a high-impact role that will shape how engineering teams monitor, trace, and improve the performance and reliability of our systems at scale.

Responsibilities:

• Champion observability best practices across engineering teams and heterogeneous system architectures.
• Lead the design and implementation of distributed tracing across hundreds of microservices, including asynchronous communication patterns (e.g., Kafka).
• Collaborate with service owners to define SLA/SLO targets and implement effective monitoring, alerting, and dashboards using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Elastic Stack.
• Operate, maintain, and enhance our observability stack, with a focus on:
• Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for logging
• Grafana for visualization
• Prometheus for metrics
• Integrate applications with APM solutions, with a strong preference for Elastic APM.
• Use programming skills (e.g., Python, Go, Java, scripting languages) to:
• Develop custom tooling and integrations to enhance observability and automate SRE workflows.
• Build advanced dashboards and data aggregation pipelines for deep system insights.
• Collaborate with development teams to embed observability and reliability into the SDLC, establishing standards and best practices.
• Participate in and help mature our incident response processes, including leading post-mortems.
• Proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks and system inefficiencies.
• Mentor engineers on SRE principles and observability techniques.

Qualifications (Must-Haves):

• Proven experience in Platform Engineering, SRE, or a similar role with a strong focus on observability in distributed environments.
• Demonstrated success in driving observability adoption across multiple teams.
• Deep knowledge of Kubernetes operations, including Helm-based deployments, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience with distributed tracing in asynchronous systems (Kafka, etc.).
• Expertise in defining and tracking SLOs/SLIs and building alerting and dashboarding strategies.
• Proficiency with observability tools such as Elastic Stack, Grafana, and Prometheus.
• Strong experience with APM tools, especially Elastic APM.
• Solid programming/scripting skills (e.g., Java/Kotlin, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript).
• Familiarity with diverse application infrastructures and build systems (Java/Maven, Python, C#).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab preferred) and code analysis tools (e.g., SonarQube, Artifactory/Xray).
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Qualifications (Highly Desirable):

• Experience contributing to broader platform engineering initiatives (e.g., service catalog portals).
• Proven success in implementing self-service infrastructure provisioning.
• Experience with standardization initiatives and creating code templates/scaffolding.
• Familiarity with public cloud platforms, especially AWS.
