Staff Site Reliability Engineer- Observability (Splunk)

Workforce Identity Cloud

Okta Workforce Identity Cloud (WIC) provides easy, secure access for your workforce so you can focus on other strategic priorities—like reducing costs, and doing more for your customers.

If you like to be challenged and have a passion for solving large-scale automation, testing, and tuning problems, we would love to hear from you. The ideal candidate is someone who exemplifies the ethics of, “If you have to do something more than once, automate it” and who can rapidly self-educate on new concepts and tools.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly technical Staff Site Reliability Engineer with deep expertise in Splunk and Grafana to own and evolve our observability ecosystem. In this role, you will move beyond simple monitoring to architect a comprehensive, scalable telemetry platform. You will be our subject-matter expert in Splunk optimisation, ensuring our logging architecture is performant, cost-effective, and deeply integrated with our automated workflows.

You will treat infrastructure as code—utilising Terraform and strong coding proficiency in Go, Python, or Ruby—to automate the deployment of agents and collectors across complex distributed systems.
