Who We Are
Cline is an open-source AI coding agent for VS Code, engineered to deliver the most powerful and transparent agentic coding experience. Going far beyond simple code generation, Cline acts as a true collaborator: it reads your codebase for context, transparently accesses any AI model you choose (from Claude to GPT to local options), executes terminal commands, interacts with browsers, and utilizes a growing ecosystem of tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This empowers developers to tackle complex engineering challenges with an AI partner that reads files, explores code, asks clarifying questions, and provides radical visibility into every action—all while keeping you firmly in control. With over two million installs and a thriving open-source community, Cline is how the world's best developers ship faster, smarter, and with complete confidence in their AI tools.
What We Are Looking For
You’ll be the owner of observability across our platform, designing and implementing systems that give us end-to-end visibility into our distributed services, LLM inference pipelines, and developer-facing APIs. Your work will directly reduce MTTR (Mean Time to Recovery), improve system reliability, and help every engineer debug and optimize systems faster.
As a Senior Observability Engineer, you’ll define observability strategy, mentor other engineers, and influence company-wide reliability and incident response practices.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement observability architecture (metrics, logs, traces, and events) across all services.
- Instrument distributed systems and AI inference pipelines to enable root cause analysis and performance optimization.
- Build and maintain dashboards, alerts, and self-service tools for developers, SREs, and Leadership.
- Define SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs for critical services and work to improve reliability.
- Collaborate with infrastructure, engineering and product teams to identify and remediate bottlenecks.
- Improve incident detection, alerting, and postmortem processes to accelerate recovery.
- At senior levels: drive observability best practices company-wide, mentor engineers, and influence technical strategy for reliability.
- 6-8+ years in observability, SRE, or infrastructure engineering roles.
- Deep expertise in monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, Splunk, OpenTelemetry, etc.).
- Strong experience instrumenting distributed systems, APIs, and cloud-native workloads (Kubernetes, containers).
- Proficiency in at least one programming/scripting language (Python, Go, or Bash).
- Solid understanding of incident response, root cause analysis, and performance optimization.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
