Location

Abu Dhabi, UAE (Relocation support provided) 🇦🇪

Salary

30,000 – 40,000 AED per month

Join a fast-growing cybersecurity scale-up in Abu Dhabi as a Senior Software Engineer (Observability) and own the observability layer behind a global identity platform.

You’ll build and run the telemetry backbone (metrics, logs, traces) across cloud, on-prem, and air-gapped Kubernetes environments.

The goal is a consistent, vendor-neutral setup that works everywhere without per-environment tweaks.

You’ll make sure every service is observable from day one, with solid instrumentation, correlation, and alerting.

You’ll also set the standards and defaults that make observability a built-in part of the platform, not an afterthought.

Required Experience

  • 8+ years of JVM-based production engineering experience (Java 17/21, Spring Boot)
  • Strong hands-on experience with OpenTelemetry in Java, including SDK/agent instrumentation, Collector pipelines, OTLP, and distributed context propagation
  • Experience building or operating vendor-neutral observability systems across cloud, on-prem, and air-gapped environments
  • Strong understanding of observability as a product: defining SLIs/SLOs, working backwards from SLAs, and designing actionable alerting and error budgets
  • Experience with New Relic (or similar tools), including instrumentation, dashboards, alerting, and OTEL-based integrations
  • Proven track record building shared observability frameworks or instrumentation libraries used across multiple teams
  • Strong Kubernetes expertise with portable observability across AWS, GCP, Azure, and bare metal
  • End-to-end ownership of systems including production support and on-call responsibility
  • Ability to turn telemetry insights into engineering standards, defaults, and reusable platform components
  • What’s in it for you?
  • Ownership of key platform decisions, driving the growth and scale of critical products
  • Opportunity to shape complex application and infrastructure at scale
  • High autonomy within a technically strong, collaborative engineering culture
  • Benefits include Visa & health insurance (for you and your family), and annual flight ticket
  • **Relocation package:**
  • flights and one month accommodation on arrival (for you and your family)
  • Why Relocate to the UAE?
  • Abu Dhabi offers an exceptional lifestyle with
  • tax-free income
  • ,
  • year-round sun
  • , and a
  • high standard of living
  • .
  • Ranked as the second safest country in the world, making it an ideal location for individuals and families seeking long-term stability.
  • The UAE has become a major hub for innovation, driven by significant investment attracting some of the most innovative start-ups and scale-ups from across the globe.
