Job Description
For one of our leading enterprise clients, we are looking for an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer with strong expertise in OpenTelemetry, cloud-native platforms, and automation.
In this role, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and evolving the organization's centralized OpenTelemetry platform, enabling engineering teams to achieve standardized observability across hundreds of applications.
This is not a traditional infrastructure-focused DevOps role. Besides managing and scaling the OpenTelemetry platform, you'll also develop custom tooling, automation, and OpenTelemetry components using Go and Python to improve developer experience and observability capabilities.
Working closely with multiple engineering squads, you will help establish scalable, secure, and reliable observability foundations across a modern cloud-native enterprise environment.
Why Join Us?
At Wypoon Technologies, you’ll work on dynamic projects for industry leaders such as Heineken, ING, ASML, Philips, and Shell, tackling exciting challenges and delivering tailored enterprise solutions.
Here’s what makes us stand out:
✔ Impactful Work: Shape the future of our clients’ digital landscapes.
✔ Innovative Environment: Collaborate within a supportive team that values learning and growth.
✔ State-of-the-art technology: Access the latest tools and platforms.
✔ Global Opportunities: Dreaming of living and working in the Netherlands or Belgium? We provide full support with visa processes, making your transition smooth and hassle-free!
