Job Title: SRE / Observability Engineer – Kubernetes & AWS (Dublin)
Location: Dublin, Ireland
Term: 12 Months+ (Long term)
Working arrangement: Hybrid (1 day a week onsite)
Overview
Elwood Roberts Ltd is hiring a Contract Observability Engineer for a Dublin-based client operating large-scale production systems in AWS and Kubernetes. This role is ideal for an engineer who lives and breathes observability — someone who has built and owned monitoring and alerting systems, defined SLIs/SLOs, and proactively driven system reliability and performance improvements.
You won’t just “use” dashboards — you’ll design, implement, and evolve the observability stack, and play a key role in maintaining visibility across distributed services in production.
Key Responsibilities
* Own and enhance the end-to-end observability stack, including:
* Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Loki, and/or ELK
* Alerting pipelines, dashboards, logs, metrics, and traces
* Define and manage SLIs/SLOs for critical services
* Build and maintain monitoring-as-code practices using tools like Terraform and Helm
* Work closely with application teams to surface meaningful telemetry and reduce MTTR
* Operate and troubleshoot Kubernetes (EKS) clusters in production
* Maintain robust, scalable AWS infrastructure (IAM, EC2, EKS, CloudWatch, ELB, Auto Scaling)
* Contribute to incident response, on-call rotations, RCAs, and continuous improvement
What We're Looking For
* Production ownership of observability tooling — not just usage
* Hands-on setup and scaling of tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Loki, or ELK
* Ability to build meaningful alerting pipelines and drive visibility across systems
* AWS experience in production: EKS, IAM, EC2, CloudWatch, Load Balancers
* Infrastructure automation with Terraform and Helm
* Real-world SRE practices: on-call, postmortems, and service-level thinking
We Are Not Looking For:
DevOps engineers who haven’t owned observability end-to-end
Candidates focused only on infrastructure provisioning with limited telemetry experience
Those with recent leadership-only roles without recent hands-on implementation
People with only academic or sandbox exposure to Kubernetes and AWS
