Observability Engineer - AgentCore Telemetry

We are looking for an Observability Engineer – AgentCore Telemetry to build and evolve observability capabilities for enterprise AI platforms and agent-based systems running on AWS. In this role, you will design telemetry solutions, implement end-to-end tracing strategies, and provide deep operational visibility into AI workflows, agent interactions, and distributed services. You will work closely with AI Platform Engineers, DevOps teams, and application developers to establish observability standards, improve reliability, and support production-grade monitoring of agent ecosystems.

What you will do

• Design and implement observability solutions for AI platforms, agent-based systems, and distributed cloud-native applications.
• Instrument Python services using OpenTelemetry SDK and AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT).
• Develop and maintain distributed tracing solutions using AWS X-Ray and OpenTelemetry.
• Configure telemetry collection, propagation, and export pipelines across AWS environments.
• Implement and maintain CloudWatch dashboards, metrics, logs, and alerting strategies for operational visibility and troubleshooting.
• Establish monitoring standards for AI agents, tool invocations, workflow execution, and service-to-service communication.
• Integrate observability capabilities with AWS AgentCore Observability and related platform services.
• Ensure proper W3C Trace Context and Baggage propagation across applications, APIs, and agent workflows.
• Instrument LangChain-based applications and AI services to capture traces, metrics, and execution insights.
• Partner with AI engineers and platform teams to identify performance bottlenecks, reliability issues, and optimization opportunities.
• Build structured logging and telemetry standards that support debugging, root-cause analysis, and operational governance.
• Contribute to observability best practices, platform standards, and engineering guidelines for AI and cloud-native systems.

What you need for this

Skills:

• AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT)
• OpenTelemetry SDK (Python)
• AWS AgentCore Observability
• AWS CloudWatch (Metrics, Logs, Structured Logs)
• AWS X-Ray (distributed tracing)
• LangChain instrumentation
• W3C Trace Context and Baggage propagation

Experience:

• 4+ years of observability engineering
• OpenTelemetry instrumentation of Python services
• AWS CloudWatch and X-Ray integration

Nice to have:

• LangGraph or Strands agent framework
• OpenTelemetry GenAI SIG semantic conventions
• ADOT collector configuration and export pipeline setup
