Platform Engineer, Observability at Husqvarna Group, Jönköping

Do you want to help developers understand how their software behaves in production, working side by side with them?

Our mission is to enable our DevOps teams to focus on building great applications by providing a shared internal developer platform, tools, templates and ways of working that simplify the entire software development lifecycle. Today, we support more than 20 teams across all three divisions, combining hands-on engineering with coaching, training and technical enablement.

Ultimately, our goal is simple: remove complexity, create great developer experiences and enable teams to deliver secure, high-quality software faster.

Role Description

CORE Platform gives our DevOps teams a paved road to build, test, deploy and observe software safely and efficiently. Within Observability, we give teams the tools and capabilities they need to understand how their applications behave in production, identify problems and continuously improve.

As a Platform Engineer, you will design, build and evolve our shared observability capabilities, with a strong focus on reliability, security and performance. Our current landscape includes OpenTelemetry, OpenSearch Serverless, AWS services such as CloudWatch and X-Ray, and Datadog, but our tooling will continue to evolve. You will have the opportunity to evaluate new technologies and influence what we adopt next.

We work close to our DevOps teams and believe in starting small, learning fast and adjusting as we go. By understanding their challenges first-hand, you will help turn recurring needs into scalable, self-service solutions and golden paths that reduce complexity for teams across the organization.

Looking ahead, we are also preparing for AI agents to become platform users alongside developers. You will help shape how we make their behaviour observable, secure and understandable as they become part of the software development landscape. What you will do:

• Design, build and operate observability capabilities with reliability, security and performance in focus.
• Work with OpenTelemetry, OpenSearch, AWS native services and Datadog to create a consistent observability experience.
• Collaborate closely with DevOps teams to understand their needs and solve real-world challenges.
• Explore new ideas through proofs of concept and prototypes, learning and adjusting quickly.
• Turn recurring needs into reusable, self-service golden paths, templates and documentation.
• Support teams through troubleshooting, technical guidance and knowledge sharing.
• Evaluate emerging observability technologies and help decide what we adopt, evolve or retire.

Your profile

Beyond your technical expertise, you are curious, collaborative and comfortable working close to the teams you support. You enjoy understanding challenges first-hand, experimenting with solutions and turning what works into something others can easily adopt and reuse.

You are comfortable navigating areas where there may not yet be an established best practice and bring clarity and structure along the way. You communicate openly, share your knowledge and care about creating solutions that make a real difference for developers.

You are also curious about the opportunities AI brings to software development, while taking a pragmatic view of where it creates real value. Most importantly, you are a humble team player with a positive attitude, a sense of humour and a genuine interest in succeeding together. We believe you bring:

• 5+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE or a similar field.
• Strong experience with observability, including metrics, logs, traces and alerting.
• Experience with OpenTelemetry and instrumenting applications to provide meaningful observability.
• A good understanding of how software is built, deployed and operated, and what developers need to understand application behaviour in production.
• Familiarity with AWS and Infrastructure as Code.
• Professional proficiency in English, both written and spoken.

Experience with observability technologies such as OpenSearch, Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch or X-Ray is a plus.
