Create your best future and join Westpac as an Observability Engineer.

What's the role?

The purpose of the Observability Engineer role is to support and maintain an enterprise-grade observability platform using the Elastic Stack. This role ensures full-stack visibility across infrastructure and applications, enabling proactive monitoring, anomaly detection, and root cause analysis to support operational excellence and business continuity.

The role will be responsible for integrating logs, metrics, traces, and synthetics into a unified observability pipeline, while developing and maintaining Kibana dashboards, visualizations, and alerting mechanisms aligned with SLIs and SLOs. Additionally, it will involve implementing machine learning models for anomaly detection and predictive insights, as well as optimizing data ingestion, transformation, and storage to enhance system performance. Maintaining the health of the observability system and supporting incident response with actionable insights for post-mortem analysis will also be key responsibilities.
 
What do I need?

Essential:

  • 5+ years proven experience with Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Beats, APM) 
  • Strong knowledge of observability concepts: logs, metrics, traces, SLIs/SLO.
  • Experience with data ingestion pipelines, parsing, enrichment, and indexing.
  • ML/Anomaly detection strategies.

Desirable:

  • OTEL experience.
  • ITIL
  • CI/CD
  • Automation/Coding.
  • Experience with containerised environments.
  • Tertiary qualifications, computer science/engineering.
