- Deep experience with 2 or more core observability tools in : Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix (HA setup), splunk,new relic,OpenTelemetry, and APM solutions.
- Proficiency in deploying observability agents and collectors into EKS clusters using Helm and DaemonSets.
- Extensive experience with AWS Core Services: EKS, EC2, VPC, S3, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Kinesis, and Lambda.
- Strong scripting and automation experience in at least one language: Python, Go, Bash, or Node.js.
- Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform to provision monitoring stacks and dashboards as code.
- Solid understanding of log aggregation architectures (FluentBit, Vector, OpenSearch, or Splunk).
- Experience integrating monitoring and alert routing with ITSM/incident response tools (Jira, PagerDuty, ServiceNow, Teams/Slack).
- Strong understanding of network essentials, system administration, and Linux kernel fundamentals.
- Capable of multitasking, prioritizing in a fast-paced environment, and taking end-to-end ownership of platform reliability.
- A highly effective collaborator with excellent technical documentation skills.
Other Requirements
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional) or AWS Certified DevOps Engineer.
- Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD).
- Experience with high-cardinality metrics stores (e.g., Thanos, Cortex, Mimir, or TimescaleDB).
- Familiarity with distributed tracing frameworks (Jaeger, Zipkin, or AWS X-Ray) and W3C Trace Context.
- Prior experience in CI/CD pipeline tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Bitbucket Pipelines) to support GitOps observability (Argocd/Flux).
