## Job Description

## Responsibilities

- Build screens for creating, editing, and reviewing alert history through the alert service.
- Define and maintain data contracts with classification, telemetry, and alert services.

- Take on additional responsibilities and projects as needed.

## Requirements
- Deep understanding of network and system topology and how to represent those relationships for live troubleshooting.
- Production experience with high-volume, latency-sensitive infrastructure, including distributed messaging or event streaming such as Kafka and search or indexing at scale such as OpenSearch, or equivalent technologies.
- Experience with contract-driven development and schema or interface definitions such as protobuf.
- Working knowledge of network telemetry including SNMP, syslog, ICMP, or OpenTelemetry.
- Strong cloud and systems experience across at least two of AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Track record of owning architectural decisions in ambiguous problem spaces and influencing shared contracts or platform boundaries across teams.

## Nice to Have
- Experience building monitoring, observability, or network management products with a customer-facing UI.
- Familiarity with graph data models and hierarchical or dependency topology.
- Experience designing visualizations for complex hierarchical or graph-structured data.
- Background with SolarWinds, Zabbix, PRTG, Auvik, or similar platforms.

## Benefits
