Observability Engineer – Oracle Watchlist Screening

This is a 12 week assignment to begin with, overlap work with US time zone

We're looking for three Observability Engineers to design and implement application- and process-level observability for Oracle Watchlist Screening (OWS). You'll build the dashboards, alerts, notifications, and anomaly-detection capabilities that let Engineering know — in real time — whether critical screening processes and their supporting integrations are healthy.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, data engineering, application monitoring, or observability
• Hands-on experience with Oracle Watchlist Screening (OWS)
• Proficient in Python, TypeScript, Java , or a similar programming language
• Experience working with databases, APIs, data pipelines, and system integrations
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and technical documentation skills
• Able to work hours that overlap with US Pacific Time stakeholders

Responsibilities

• Monitor real-time and batch screening volumes, throughput, failures, retries, backlog, and latency
• Identify failed or long-running screening activity and processing bottlenecks
• Monitor Dow Jones file processing for data freshness, completeness, and ingestion failures
• Track data as it moves through standardization, tokenization, clustering, business rules, and screening readiness
• Monitor OWS integrations with SFDC, Pelican, Snowflake, and other prioritized applications
• Monitor alert creation, status changes, aging, disposition, and closure
• Build executive and operational health dashboards
• Define SLIs, SLOs, baselines, thresholds, and severity levels with Engineering
• Configure notifications for critical failures, processing delays, data issues, and integration failures
• Document dashboards, metrics, alerts, system gaps, and operational processes
• Complete production validation, knowledge transfer, and final handoff

Out of scope: AWS infrastructure monitoring (server uptime, CPU, memory, disk, network).
