Job Description

Hello,

 

I hope this message finds you well.

This is Shyam from TechStar Group. We currently have an opening for the below position. If this opportunity interests you, please let me know.

 

Title: Observability Lead/Victoria Metrics Architect

Location: Overland Park, KS or Dallas, TX or Remote

 

Expert

Deep, hands-on production ownership. Design and delivery-ready from day one.

 

Intermediate

Solid operational experience. Productive from day one; deepens in role.

 

Victoria Metrics:

Technical Skills

Hands-on operation of Victoria Metrics in production — VM Cluster topology (VM Insert, VM Storage, VM Select), vm agent scrape and stream aggregation, VM Auth multi-tenant routing, VM Alert and VM Alert manager rule design, and Metrics QL query authoring. Ability to govern active time series cardinality, configure retention and down sampling, and design multi-cluster federation with cross-cluster deduplication and write-path failover.

Experience Profile:

Verifiable production VM Cluster deployments handling sustained, high-cardinality workloads — not evaluation or sandbox only. Evidence of diagnosing and remediating a cardinality problem in a live environment. Operational experience of VM Auth-based per-tenant data isolation beyond authentication alone. Familiarity with the Victoria Metrics Operator on Kubernetes and its upgrade lifecycle. Intermediate accepted where Expert-level Observability is demonstrated.
