Job Description

Insight Global is looking for a Platform Engineer to join one of North America's largest retail and wellness clients. This individual will be joining the Enterprise Platform Engineering team that provides monitoring across the organization. Our responsibilities include supporting onboarding, training, and management of our services. We collaborate with our vendors, Splunk and Datadog, to provide observability for a Technology department of over 1200 Engineers. We drive the maturity of our Technology teams by establishing and tracking best standards for our platforms. We are looking for a motivated engineer to become a core member of the Observability Team, helping guide the organization to both improve the practice and contribute to developing our strategy, roadmap, and execution at lululemon.

As a successful candidate for this role, you will support application teams migrating to Datadog using APM, Infra, and Serverless agents, ensuring our standards and best practices are met. You will work with key stakeholders to improve our documentation, standards, and practices.
Finally, the role involves working with multiple internal teams, including vendor TAMs, to resolve issues and empower our end users. Experience with vendor management and tools rationalization projects is ideal. This is an enablement team.
The work is as much about collaborating with internal and vendor teams, as it is about individual technical expertise.

A day in the life:
- Support our teams with the instrumentation of Datadog, ensuring our onboarding process and best practices are adopted.
- Provide feedback to key stakeholders about challenges, blockers, or opportunities to streamline the way we work.
- Work with Datadog’s support and TAM to resolve implementation issues

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.

- Minimum 2+ years of experience with rule and advanced logic creation for Observability
- Hands-on experience with Datadog APM, Infra, serverless, and RUM
