- You will closely collaborate with software developers, SRE, infrastructure, and security teams to drive automation and implement best-in-class observability solutions supporting both development and operations in a hybrid cloud environment.
- Build and support the modernization and integration of observability tools in private and public cloud offerings (GCP, AKS, EKS).
- Design, implement, and automate telemetry, logging, and monitoring solutions including dashboards, alerts, and CI/CD integration.
- Enable teams to leverage observability data for reliability, performance, and security use cases; provide actionable recommendations.
- Collaborate with DevOps, SRE, and security teams to share best practices and support adoption of observability standards.
- Mentor and upskill client teams through knowledge transfer and participate in on-call activities as required.
- Experience with any one of the public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google).
- At least 5 years of relevant experience in Observability, Logging, and Monitoring in enterprise environments.
- Hands-on experience with observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Cortex, Tempo, ElasticSearch, Datadog, Splunk, or equivalents.
- Experience working with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and orchestration platforms (GKE or similar).
- Proficiency in setting up and configuring dashboards, alerts, and alarms on telemetry data.
- Skilled in configuring and establishing monitoring for applications deployed in public cloud environments.
- Experience in integrating observability tools with CI/CD pipelines and automating through scripting (Python, Bash, JSON, YAML, Terraform, or similar).
- Excellent communication, presentation, and problem-solving skills.
- Proficiency with Linux operating systems and databases (MySQL, DB2, MSSQL, or similar).
- Solid understanding of how enterprise service delivery components interact (web servers, application servers, databases, web services, storage, security).
- Experience with application instrumentation for distributed tracing, metric, and log collection.
- Experience with Go programming language is a plus.
- Experience with DevOps tooling and automation.
- Prior experience with Application Performance Management (APM) solutions.
- Experience integrating end-user applications with monitoring and APM tools.
- Understanding of enterprise-architecture concepts: 3-tier architecture, high-availability/disaster recovery, active active data centers, etc.
- Familiarity with networking concepts and protocols (OSI model, TCP/IP, HTTP, firewalls, load balancers).
