Director - Observability Engineering

Promoted

Feb 2018Mar 2022 · 4 yrs 1 mo · San Francisco Bay Area

  • We enable observability for all of Netflix. We build highly available and reliable distributed systems that provide real-time operational insights to enable Netflix's reliability, availability and efficiency goals. This involves collecting, processing and ingesting huge operational data sets (metrics, events, traces), building visualization tools and api to interact and integrate with these datasets and build vertical features that provide higher level insights (realtime alerting, outlier detection, correlation analysis) and automated follow up actions (notifications, diagnostics and remediations). We do it at large scale (e.g. ingesting billions of metrics every minute) with high availability and reliability in a self serve manner to satisfy the varying needs of Netflix engineers.

Engineering Manager - Fault Detection Engineering

Apr 2015Feb 2018 · 2 yrs 10 mos · San Francisco Bay Area

  • I lead a team that builds solutions to Detect, Diagnose and Remediate cloud services in real time for Netflix. My team's backend platform engineer's build highly resilient and scalable large scale distributed systems that sift through millions of signals from diverse telemetry sources to detect issues in real time, do co-relation and causation analysis to help with fault isolation and execute self healing through auto remediation. UI engineer's in the team help scale usability and adoption by making things self serve and an intuitive and delightful user interface for our products. And data scientists in my team work to define the right algorithms and models to solve our needle in a haystack class of problems utilizing the power of vast amounts of telemetry data to detect one in a thousand server that has gone bad or help engineers evaluate the latest bits they want to deploy via automated canaries analysis. If these areas excite you, I would love to chat.
