Job Description
Are observability and monitoring your areas of expertise Are you ready to be part of a platform engineering team serving 900 developers with an internal developer platform that automates building testing and releasing AXIS OS the Linux distribution that powers our products Then this can be the perfect opportunity for you!
Location: HQ Lund (onsite)
Who is your future team
We are called R&D Tools and the team is divided into small highly collaborative and autonomous subteams. Our mission is to support the AXIS OS developers so that they can build test integrate and release AXIS OS as smoothly as possible and to make sure that everyone has visibility into the process. Every year dozens of public releases are made to the 200 products of different hardware generations and chip architectures and we play an important role in making that possible. All of this is done with a mix of open source software internally developed tools and vendor licensed software. Everything runs in containers on Linux. Were active in several open source communities and were encouraged to open source our code when possible.
The subteams own their backlogs and roadmaps and are responsible for the evolution within their area including trying out new technologies. There are no ber architects that need to approve your UML diagrams but there are plenty of thoughtful colleagues that can give you feedback. We are great at what we do and we have a drive to always improve and learn more. The products we work on are used by AXIS OS developers every day and we take pride in working closely with them to improve their quality of life.
Our culture is characterized by openness trust and collaboration. Work/life balance and hanging out with your teammates at common fikas lunches and other social activities are important to us and our success. Like the rest of Axis we dont let ourselves get stuck in rigid processes but we also realize that large organizations cant be entirely without processes either and we try hard to draw the line in the right place.
Whatwill you doas a senior engineer
We need to strengthen the subteam working with observability and related infrastructure. This includes collection of various forms of telemetry alerting and asynchronous messaging. While wed like you to be a nerd in those technology areas many of our team members arent so its important that you have an interest in and the ability to make things accessible and to act as an evangelist. In a way youll be working on the internal developer platform for the team that works on the internal developer platform for the AXIS OS developers.
Here are some tasks from the backlog that you might get to work on:
- Revamping our logging pipeline to introduce a fanout via RabbitMQ so that we can easily ship logs to more than one destination.
- Using e.g. Apache Flink to join two streams of related logs.
- Figuring out what to do with our current Icinga 2based alerting stack as teams start migrating to Datadog.
- Coaching teams in the transition to labelbased timeseries metrics and introducing them to distributed tracing.
- Implementing a delivery pipeline for prebuilt components by modeling the real world with Eiffel events and writing services that emit or react to those events.
- Introducing multiple storage tiers for logs and selecting and deploying a tool for querying the cold tier.
Meet your future colleague Magnus and read his blog post about how to track software relationships with Eiffel: https://engineeringat.axis/softwarerelationshipseiffel/
