• Work hand-in-hand with the development team to investigate platform issues and design/implement the necessary solutions.
• Work on solutions to allow our product to operate independent of the cloud provider platform.

What type of work will you be doing? What assignments, requirements, or skills will you be performing on a regular basis? As a key member of Tanzu Observability team, you will:

• Provide design documentation to support the SaaS architecture roadmap and work with the team to refine the effort so that it is Sprint ready.
• Identify and drive adoption of the right tools to manage our services in production, keeping SLAs and MTTR top of mind
• Participate in monthly roadmap planning to develop quarterly goals for the team.
• Act as a leader on the team through mentoring others, working collaboratively with the team, and drive project scoping and execution.
• Participate in the learning culture at Tanzu Observability and attend and maybe even give tech talks.

• Have good communication and presentation skills.
• Be able to collaborate remotely via Slack/Zoom etc.
• Once comfortable with travel and as supported by the company, be willing to travel occasionally for strategy sessions, team building events, etc.

We know from experience that not ticking every box on the skills sections stops many from applying. Please apply regardless of your self-assessment – we want to hear from you! We have seen engineers succeed with a diverse range of skills and experiences. What is leadership like for this role? What is the structure and culture of the team like? Our culture is rooted in inclusion, collaboration and growth. We make sure to invest time to consider each other’s perspectives and to appreciate our efforts and accomplishments.
