We want to increase our business observability capabilities by ensuring that each business domain within the platform counts with accurate metrics, that depict the health of the domain at hand, and precise alerting to quickly identify when something deviates from the norm. We are on the lookout for a platform engineer to help us build the foundations towards effective business observability and enable the rest of the squads to iterate and fully harness this new capability, to ensure the right levels of quality in the platform.

At Lodgify, quality comes first. We constantly challenge ourselves to find innovative ways to ensure a delightful experience for our users. Quantifying and monitoring the relevant characteristics of all the business domains that comprise the platform is crucial to ensure we can provide the best experience for our customers.

🧞‍♂️ What you will be doing

  • Connect with tech leads and leverage their business/technical domain knowledge to ensure we are gathering the metrics in an accurate way
  • Introduce code in different applications to gather the relevant business metrics
  • Identify areas of improvement in the codebase to increase the accuracy of the business metrics
  • Build meaningful dashboards that help the squads understand how the key characteristics of their business domains behave
  • Provide relevant alerts on top of the gathered business metrics, to notify the squads when a key aspect of their domain is not performing as expected
  • Ensure that all the business observability code, artefacts and knowledge stays with the squad, to empower them to iterate on them to meet quality and reliability targets
  • Work as an enabler to introduce this new capability in other squads
  • Document the relevant aspects of business observability implementation at Lodgify
  • Run workshops to spread knowledge about the advantages of business observability and the proper implementation to empower squads to assimilate this new capability and get the most out of it
