Our teams operate at the heart of the Splunk Platform, ensuring stability, performance, and continuous improvement across a massive cloud ecosystem. We work at speed, across boundaries, and with purpose — solving sophisticated, large-scale problems that directly affect customers worldwide.The OpportunityThis isn't your average support or SRE role. As an Observability Capacity Engineer, you'll play a strategic role in ensuring Splunk's Observability products scale effectively and serve customers reliably. You'll operate at the intersection of systems engineering, platform operations, and tooling — making data-driven decisions to optimize how capacity is provisioned and how services run across a distributed architecture.This is a high-impact role for an engineer who enjoys digging into infrastructure puzzles, building smarter systems, and acting as a connective force between Engineering, Support, and Product.What You'll Do

• Triage and resolve inbound quota and capacity requests for Observability customers.
• Fine-tune backend configurations to match customer traffic patterns and platform load.
• Maintain stability and scalability of a shared, distributed infrastructure supporting hundreds of tenants.
• Monitor platform usage and proactively ensure capacity is available for customer growth.
• Collaborate with Engineering teams to identify and resolve critical performance or availability issues.
• Define requirements and advocate for tooling improvements that reduce manual effort and speed up delivery.
• Use your engineering mindset to drive continuous process and system optimization.
• Support the broader Fulfillment Operations team through the construction and upkeep of business critical Splunk dashboards.

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, SRE, or platform operations roles.
• Working knowledge of cloud-native infrastructure, distributed microservice architectures, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong debugging and systems thinking skills — you can connect symptoms to root causes across layers.
• Proficiency with the command line; hands-on experience with Jira or similar systems.
• Familiarity with observability tools (e.g., metrics, logging, tracing platforms).
• Comfortable balancing tactical execution with strategic thinking — you enjoy both shipping and shaping.
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to partner effectively with engineering, support, and product teams.
• Hands-on experience building and optimizing Splunk dashboards.
• Bonus Experience with entitlement systems or Salesforce is a plus.

Why Join Us

• You'll work on systems at scale with tangible customer impact.
• You'll gain deep exposure to observability tooling, platform architecture, and operational strategy.
• You'll influence how we build, automate, and evolve capacity workflows across the company.
• You'll be part of a team that values autonomy, critical thinking, and cross-functional collaboration.
