Job description

We are looking for a DevOps / SRE Engineer with strong expertise in QE processes, observability, automation, and DevOps practices. The ideal candidate should be capable of driving the adoption of QA/QE tools, supporting automation initiatives, and building scalable observability solutions.

The candidate should have hands-on experience with Grafana and observability platforms, while also possessing the ability to evaluate when an existing tool is fit for purpose versus when a custom solution leveraging APIs, databases, or other data stores would provide greater flexibility.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain Observability dashboards to provide actionable insights into system and application performance.
• Work extensively with Grafana for monitoring, visualization, alerting, and dashboard development.
• Evaluate observability requirements and determine whether Grafana or existing tools are sufficient or a custom solution should be developed.
• Develop custom observability solutions by leveraging APIs, data stores, telemetry, and other monitoring technologies where required.
• Collaborate with SRE, DevOps, Engineering, and QE teams to improve system reliability, performance, and visibility.
• Drive the adoption and standardization of QA/QE tools and automation frameworks.
• Support automation initiatives across testing, monitoring, deployment, and operational processes.
• Integrate monitoring and observability solutions with existing DevOps and CI/CD pipelines.
• Develop meaningful dashboards, alerts, metrics, and reporting mechanisms to identify system/application issues proactively.
• Analyze monitoring data and provide actionable insights for troubleshooting and performance optimization.
• Continuously evaluate emerging tools and technologies, particularly those supporting AI-driven observability and automation.

Required Skills

• Strong experience in DevOps / SRE practices and processes.
• Hands-on expertise with Grafana and observability dashboards.
• Strong understanding of Monitoring, Logging, Metrics, Alerting, and Application Performance Monitoring.
• Experience working with APIs and different data stores to build custom monitoring/observability solutions.
• Strong understanding of QE/QA processes and automation.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tools.
• Good scripting/programming knowledge such as Python, Shell, or similar.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex application and infrastructure issues using observability data.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to assess requirements and select the right off-the-shelf tool vs. custom-built solution.
