• Hands‑on experience with enterprise monitoring, observability, event management, logging, or application performance monitoring platforms.
• Experience designing dashboards, alerts, telemetry integrations, monitoring standards, and service health reporting for production technology environments.
• Experience with PowerShell, Python, APIs, infrastructure as code, or comparable automation technologies, along with a working knowledge of metrics, logs, traces, events, and distributed systems troubleshooting.
