Build Gallup's observability foundation and shift how we detect, respond to and prevent system issues before they affect customers.

As a founding member of Gallup’s new site reliability engineering team, you’ll define and scale our observability strategy across engineering and bring reliability engineering principles — automation, observability and continuous improvement — to everything we build. You’ll unify different teams’ monitoring solutions into a cohesive, proactive approach, consolidate our tooling, build automated workflows and establish processes that help us catch problems before they become incidents.

In this role, you’ll shape Gallup’s global technology platform to ensure the systems delivering analytics and insights to millions remain fast, resilient and always available. If you’re eager to drive resilience in systems that empower people and organizations worldwide, this is your opportunity — apply today.

What You’ll Do

Establish the foundation of Gallup’s SRE function by defining standards, best practices and scalable systems that will grow with the organization
Build and evolve observability infrastructure using tools like Dynatrace, Datadog, Grafana and PagerDuty to monitor applications running on AWS
Design and implement automated alerting workflows that integrate directly with Slack
Establish incident response processes that integrate monitoring, alerting and team communication to reduce recovery time and improve service continuity
Create dashboards and metrics that give engineering teams real-time insight into application performance and system reliability
Identify opportunities for automation and design self-healing systems in partnership with DevOps engineers
Enable end-to-end monitoring and faster issue detection by partnering with application teams to embed observability into Java, .NET and Python services
Lead initiatives that help engineering teams adopt and use observability tools effectively
Identify patterns in system behavior that indicate potential issues before they affect customers

What Makes You Stand Out

Observability expertise: You've built or scaled monitoring and observability practices, not just maintained existing systems.
Tool consolidation experience: You've successfully unified fragmented monitoring solutions across multiple teams.
AI mindset: You reduce repetitive operational work through thoughtful automation and workflow design.
Incident response leadership: You've designed or improved incident management processes and know how to balance speed with thoroughness.
Communication and enablement: You go beyond building dashboards; you guide others in how to instrument their code and interpret metrics.

What You Need

Bachelor's degree in computer science, MIS or a related field, or equivalent experience, required
At least three years of experience in site reliability engineering, DevOps or infrastructure roles with a focus on monitoring and observability required
Experience with observability and monitoring tools such as Dynatrace (preferred), Datadog, Grafana or similar platforms required
Experience with incident management tools like PagerDuty or similar alerting systems required
Strong understanding of AWS cloud infrastructure and how to monitor distributed systems required
Experience integrating monitoring and alerting systems with collaboration platforms like Slack required
Ability to work with application teams across multiple languages and frameworks (e.g., Java, .NET, Python) required
Knowledge of metrics, logging and tracing as pillars of observability required
Experience writing scripts or automation (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell) to support monitoring workflows required
Experience with containerized applications and infrastructure as code preferred
A commitment to working on-site at Gallup’s Omaha office at least three days per week required

Form CC-305

Page 1 of 1

OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
