Observability, Monitoring & Dashboards
• Maintain and extend the observability ecosystem by ensuring full coverage of logs, metrics, alerts, health checks, traces, and custom application insights.
• Build and refine dashboards, monitoring pipelines, and alert rules to provide real time visibility into system performance, capacity, availability, and error trends.
• Drive proactive monitoring by identifying patterns, detecting anomalies early, and improving the alerting signal to noise ratio.
________________________________________
Environment & Platform Operations
• Manage and validate non production and production environments, ensuring configuration consistency, readiness, and adherence to deployment standards.
• Perform OS patching, maintenance, and security hardening, ensuring systems meet compliance and security baselines.
• Maintain accurate and up to date runbooks, technical documentation, and operational procedures to support knowledge continuity and operational maturity.
________________________________________
Collaboration & Support
• Collaborate with engineering, infrastructure, and business partners to ensure seamless integration and operational alignment across all application components.
• Maintain and update ServiceNow tickets, ensuring clear documentation, prioritization, traceability, and correct escalation.
• Actively support Scrum delivery by contributing to user stories, Sprint activities, and cross functional ceremonies.
• Promote best practices, share knowledge, support onboarding, and mentor newer colleagues to build chapter-wide capability.
Expectations
