Description
About the job
If your answers are yes, then you should keep reading.
About the Role
Tracer is building agentic alert investigation for production data pipelines.
Teams already have alerts. Tracer investigates pipeline incidents before they page your team, filtering noise, correlating evidence across your stack, and producing an evidence-based RCA for the issues that actually matter.
We're hiring a Founding Lead Engineer in London to own core architecture and ship an agent that produces grounded RCAs (and fix suggestions) for a set of high-value alerts. Humans stay in control of production decisions.
