We esteem the capacity for adeptly handling technological difficulties, an anticipatory stance on complex problem-solving, and a history of coaching novice developers. Familiarity with agile practices and the ability to work well with diverse team members are key to thriving in this position.

  • Unified Logging and Metrics Migration to Grafana/Loki/Prometheus: Spearhead the consolidation of all logs and metrics generated by our Camera Application and physical Cameras from disparate services into a centralized observability stack powered by Grafana, Loki, and Prometheus. This migration will provide developers with accurate, field-level diagnostic capabilities, enhancing their troubleshooting and optimization processes. Additionally, it will enable our Product Quality Lead to establish comprehensive dashboards, allowing real-time monitoring of performance and quality metrics across our deployed fleet in the market, ensuring that we consistently deliver an outstanding user experience.
