Job description

Overall objectives

To ensure the continuous proactive and intelligent monitoring of IT infrastructure through the integration and operation of modern observability tools.

To develop and operationalise machine learning-based anomaly detection mechanisms for early detection of issues across compute network storage and application layers.

To support incident prevention and reduction of MTTR (Mean Time to Resolution) through predictive insights automated alerts and root cause correlation.

To enhance operational visibility reliability and resilience of critical infrastructure components by applying modern data-driven monitoring strategies.

Role specific responsibilities

Design implement and fine-tune infrastructure monitoring solutions across on-prem and cloud platforms.

Develop ML-driven anomaly detection pipelines using telemetry data (logs metrics traces).

Integrate observability data into a unified dashboard and alerting platform with meaningful visualisations and thresholds.

Continuously train and evaluate ML models to reduce false positives and increase signal accuracy.

Collaborate with incident management teams to define actionable alerts and automated remediation triggers

General functional responsibilities

Ensure compliance with enterprise standards regulatory controls and audit requirements related to monitoring and data collection.

Maintain documentation of monitoring architecture detection rules ML models and escalation paths.

Work closely with infrastructure application and security teams to improve data ingestion and correlation.

Contribute to the continuous improvement roadmap for observability maturity (e.g. from reactive to predictive monitoring).

Mentor junior team members on observability tools ML practices and operational excellence.

Provide out-of-hours support for major incidents when required as part of a rota.

Qualifications :

Core competencies required
