The Executive Manager AI Observability is a seasoned individual contributor who partners alongside Jr. AI Observability Architects to deliver high-quality, production-grade observability capabilities across the enterprise AI platform. This role brings deeper technical experience and greater independent execution capability— owning delivery across one or two specialization tracks with reduced need for day-to-day direction — while working as a genuine peer within the team rather than in a supervisory or mentorship capacity.
The Executive Manager is expected to be a robust, self-sufficient technical contributor who can take a complex observability requirement from design through implementation and into production operation within their assigned tracks. They bring cross-track awareness that helps the team as a whole, contribute to engineering standard discussions, and collaborate with peer architects on solving shared technical challenges — all without requiring supervisory authority.
- Design and implement OpenTelemetry (OTEL) instrumentation within one or two assigned agent frameworks or platforms — including custom exporters, span enrichers, semantic convention tagging, and distributed trace context propagation — with the ability to work independently from requirements through to production deployment.
- Build and maintain telemetry pipeline components (collectors, processors, exporters) that reliably route metrics, logs, traces, and semantic signals to observability backends — owning the full lifecycle of assigned pipeline components including testing, deployment, and on-call support.
- Contribute to the integration of OTEL with enterprise agentic platforms (Salesforce AgentForce, ServiceNow, Microsoft Agent 365, or internal frameworks) within the assigned scope — implementing instrumentation to architecture patterns established by the L11.
