Observability and Monitoring 

• Assist the team in leveraging the observability stack (e.g., Grafana, CloudZero) to gather actionable insights and improve system performance. 

• Collaborate to enhance monitoring workflows and establish comprehensive metrics coverage that the team can independently maintain. 

Cross-Functional Collaboration 

• Foster a collaborative culture by working closely with development and operations teams to align tools and processes with business goals. 

• Provide recommendations and insights for teams using AWS, Kubernetes, and related infrastructure, ensuring a shared understanding of best practices. 

What we are looking for: 

Core Experience

• Minimum 2 years of experience with Source Control Management tools, such as Git or Subversion. (Required) 

Programming & Automation 

• Minimum 2 years of experience in a current programming language, such as Python or Golang. (Required) 

Monitoring, Logging, and SRE Practices (Required) 

• Experience working with monitoring and logging tools.  

• Improving monitoring and alerting workflows. 

• Proven experience in defining and implementing Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) to enhance system reliability and performance. 

• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize monitoring, logging, and alerting processes for improved system insights and response times. 

Additional Skills & Experience (Preferred)
