Senior Freelance Software Engineer Plugin Developer Platform in Chennai

We are fueled by a moral imperative to advance mankind, and it all begins with our people, our product, and our purpose. Passion isn’t something we turn on and off; it’s woven into everything we do. If you thrive in high-challenge environments, are inspired by exceptional teammates, and are driven to grow beyond what you thought possible, MX is where you belong. Come build the future with us. Join an award-winning company that isn’t just shaping the financial industry, but transforming it in ways that create meaningful, lasting impact for millions of people. At MX, reliability is a product. Our infrastructure powers financial applications used by millions of people and processes billions of transactions for major financial institutions, and customers feel every second of downtime. We're building a new observability function that runs the way we run incident response: the system does the heavy lifting, and people handle judgment, customers, and the exceptions. As a Senior Observability Engineer, you build and operate an observability control plane. You scaffold baselines, score coverage, and turn every real incident into the detection the platform should have caught. This is a multiplier role: you raise the bar for every team through standards and automation instead of building each team's dashboards by hand. We call it the shepherd model. You shepherd Datadog and partner with our product engineering teams so they observe the right signals for their products. Service owners get real signal instead of noise, and leadership gets coverage and health as a program metric. This role shares the team pager. Observability and incident response run one on-call roster. You take shifts with the rest of the team and act as Incident Commander when an incident needs one. It is core to the role, not an afterthought. Engineering at MX runs hybrid infrastructure (AWS and bare metal) with services in Ruby, Go, and Java, messaging over NATS and RabbitMQ, and data on PostgreSQL an
