The team culture is highly collaborative and growth-oriented, valuing experimentation, continuous learning, and cross-functional leadership, with opportunities to shape future multi-cloud and platform engineering solutions.
Responsibilities:
• Design and implement enterprise-grade monitoring and observability frameworks (metrics, logs, traces) across distributed systems using enterprise Splunk, Grafana and Open-telemetry tools
• Establish and manage SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets to drive reliability improvements
• Develop and maintain real-time asset inventory systems across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments
• Automate workload onboarding and offboarding processes, ensuring standardization and governance
