Platform (Dev) Engineer
We are seeking a mid-level Platform Engineer (5+ years of relevant experience) to configure, instrument, and operationalize Flexential's enterprise Observability platform. This role is focused on the LGTM stack — installing, configuring, and maintaining Grafana, Mimir, Loki, Tempo, Prometheus, and OTel collectors (or Grafana Alloy) — and on building the monitoring and observability workflows that support 40+ data center facilities and a broad range of infrastructure and application teams.
Responsibilities
• Install, configure, and administer the full LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) in Kubernetes environments
• Build and modify Grafana dashboards as code (JSON), including pre-built dashboards for infrastructure, application, and facility teams
• Author and maintain Prometheus scrape configurations (YAML) for diverse device and application targets including SNMP, REST API, and OpenTelemetry sources
• Help define and implement end-to-end Major Incident Management (MIM) workflows integrating Alertmanager, ServiceNow, and CMDB
• Help identify and implement AIOps capabilities including anomaly detection, event correlation, and alert noise reduction
• Build and maintain Terraform and Ansible configurations supporting platform deployments and configuration management
• Develop GitLab CI/CD pipelines for automated delivery of platform configuration changes to Central and Edge stacks
• Help onboard infrastructure and application teams to the platform, providing YAML templates, scrape profiles, and dashboard standards
• Contribute to observability platform runbooks, onboarding guides, and architecture documentation
Required Skills
Python and YAML — 3+ years of automation scripting, configuration authoring, and pipeline development
• Terraform and Ansible — 2+ years in a GitOps model; Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and configuration management experience required
• Kubernetes and Helm — 2+ years deploying and managing production workloads; LGTM stack experience in Kubernetes strongly preferred
• PostgreSQL (or similar)— 1+ years of administration and platform integration experience
• GitLab (or similar) — 2+ years of CI/CD pipeline development and GitOps workflow management
LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) — Strong experience with hands-on installation, configuration, and administration required; this is a core requirement
• Grafana — Experience authoring dashboard JSON, configuring data sources, and building alerting rules
• Prometheus — 2+ years writing scrape configs, configuring service discovery, and managing remote_write pipelines
• OpenTelemetry — 1+ years configuring collectors, working with OTLP pipelines, and understanding SDK instrumentation concepts
• MIM workflow design — Experience designing and implementing end-to-end incident management workflows based on ITSM standards
Preferred Skills
• Prior experience integrating observability platforms with ServiceNow for alert-toticket automation
• Familiarity with Zabbix for device auto-discovery and inventory management at scale
• Experience with AIOps tooling for anomaly detection and event correlation
• Experience with secrets management integrations using CyberArk and Conjur
