What you'll do

  • User-facing surfaces: Build the Kibana interfaces where signals, investigations, and findings reach users: the views an SRE uses to follow an investigation, inspect the evidence behind a conclusion, and drive the remediation that follows. This is most of the work today, though investigations increasingly need to reach engineers wherever they already work

  • Agentic investigation: Contribute to the multi-agent system that pursues root cause autonomously: build the tools agents use to investigate, shape the context they reason over, and help decide when an agent has gathered enough evidence to conclude

  • Detection and signal generation: Contribute to the systems that establish baselines across high-cardinality telemetry, generate their own detection queries, and identify state changes worth investigating

  • Evaluation infrastructure: Agent output quality is the product here. Help build offline and online evaluations, and contribute to dataset construction and curation

  • Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with UX designers on how autonomous investigations are presented, product managers on scope and sequencing, and data scientists on analysis methods

  • At least two years developing applications with TypeScript, React and Node.js

What they're looking for

  • Using AI to accelerate development, debug systems, and optimize code, while still owning the outcomes
  • Knowledge of LLM-based systems: agent orchestration, tool use, retrieval, context management
  • A bachelor's degree in Computer Science (or a related technical field), or equivalent hands-on experience
  • A creative individual with an enthusiastic interest in technology and software engineering
