Verisign is seeking a Senior Observability Engineer to design and advance observability capability that transforms operational data into actionable insight. This role will create unified, “single pane of glass” experiences that enables executive decision makers, technology leaders, and application teams to understand system health, service performance, customer impact, and operational risks.
The ideal candidate combines deep observability engineering expertise with strong data-analysis and communication skills. They will establish application Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), dashboards, and analytical models that connect technical performance to business outcomes.
This position is part of a highly skilled engineering and infrastructure team responsible for the design, administration, security, and operation of Verisign’s Architecture & Infrastructure Services (AIS) Team. The position exists to strengthen our operational insights and enable key decision making through analytics. The role requires deep observability expertise combined with strong technical leadership. This individual will focus on improving observability, inherently improving system availability, reliability, and/or scalability of our shared services infrastructure.
The ideal candidate is outcome driven, leads across the stack, navigates the gap between engineering and executive layer, and can context switch seamlessly between executive presentation and all aspects of constructing concise dashboards.
Responsibilities:
Observability and Executive Dashboards:
- Design and maintain unified observability dashboards that consolidates metrics, logs, traces, events, and application/system data with the purview of Architecture and Infrastructure environments
- Develop executive-level views of service health, availability, performance, customer impact, operational risk, and capacity trends
- Translate complex technical data into clear insights that support prioritization, risk management, and operational decisions
- Define dashboard standards that provide consistent terminology, visualizations, service hierarchies, and health indicators
- Ensure dashboards emphasize actionable signals and trends rather than simply displaying large volumes of telemetry
