The Opportunity:

Key Roles and Responsibilities:

• Engineering and operating enterprise observability platforms such as Dynatrace, Datadog, New Relic, Splunk, Elastic, Prometheus, and Grafana across cloud and on-premises environments.
• Designing and maintaining telemetry collection for servers, networks, storage, databases, containers, applications, and cloud services.
• Managing the capacity, performance, availability, security, and lifecycle upgrades of monitoring platforms.
• Establishing alerting standards covering severity, thresholds, anomaly detection, suppression, correlation, deduplication, and routing.
• Reducing alert fatigue and creating actionable alerts supported by relevant dashboards, runbooks, and diagnostic context.
• Building standardized dashboards for service health, performance, capacity, availability, and SLO/SLA reporting.
• Partnering with service owners to define SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets where applicable.
• Automating monitoring deployment, configuration, and onboarding through infrastructure-as-code, configuration-management, and CI/CD practices.
• Integrating monitoring platforms with Jira, CMDB systems, Microsoft Teams, Slack, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, and other operational tools.
• Creating reusable templates, policies, alerts, and dashboards that enable consistent self-service adoption.
• Defining monitoring standards, telemetry requirements, tagging conventions, governance controls, documentation, and operational runbooks.
• Supporting incident response and post-incident reviews to improve detection, reduce recurrence, and strengthen monitoring coverage.
• Participating in a scheduled 24×7 on-call rotation supporting monitoring platforms and services.
• Collaborating with Security and Compliance teams to meet access-control, retention, privacy, audit, and regulatory requirements.

What you need:

• Three to seven or more years of experience in monitoring and observability, platform engineering, site reliability engineering, or IT operations.
• Hands-on experience with at least one enterprise monitoring or observability platform.

Required Skills:

• A strong understanding of metrics, logs, traces, distributed-system troubleshooting, and OpenTelemetry practices.
• Experience administering and troubleshooting Linux and Windows systems in large-scale environments.
• Working knowledge of networking concepts, including DNS, TCP/IP, load balancers, and firewalls.
• Experience with cloud-monitoring services such as Azure Monitor and Log Analytics, AWS CloudWatch, or Google Cloud Operations.
• Experience monitoring containers and Kubernetes using technologies such as Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Tempo, or Loki.
• Automation and scripting experience with Python, PowerShell, or Bash, along with familiarity with CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code or configuration-management tools such as Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation, or Ansible.
• Familiarity with ITSM, CMDB, event-management workflows, and SRE practices such as SLOs and error budgets.
• Strong systems thinking and the ability to troubleshoot across application, platform, infrastructure, and network layers.

Desired Skills:

• Excellent judgment in separating actionable signals from noise and tuning alerts accordingly.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders, especially during incidents.
• A customer-focused approach to enablement, self-service, documentation, and platform adoption.
• The ability to prioritize effectively, work in a fast-paced operational environment, and manage escalations calmly.
• Relevant monitoring-platform, cloud-platform, or ITIL Foundation certifications would be advantageous.

Qualification:

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
