Senior Software Engineer - Event Orchestration

Why We Need You

We often hear from customers that they’re dealing with unmanageable levels of noise and complexity, which makes it harder to pinpoint root cause and get to resolution quickly. All this effort spent on sifting through noise, processing events, and gathering context results in a lot of wasted time.

This is when the Event Orchestration feature that our team built comes in handy. Event Orchestration addresses the problem of event processing, providing customers with the ability to turn their billions of events into dozens of actionable alerts or incidents, through the use of standardized transformations, enrichments, and automation. You can read more about it [here](https://www.pagerduty.com/blog/using-event-orchestration-to-reduce- noise-and-trigger-next-best-action/).

We are continuing to work on the next generation of the Event Orchestration and if you find this interesting, then you might want to join the Event Orchestration team.
