Administer and operate core observability platforms (Splunk, New Relic, ClickHouse, Grafana, Lightrun), including service onboarding, access management, configuration, upgrades, and ongoing platform health.

Contribute to building and advancing a modern OpenTelemetry-based observability ecosystem that supports multiple telemetry types at scale.

Improve and standardize instrumentation practices across services, driving consistent logging, metrics, and distributed tracing implementation.

Partner with product and platform engineering teams to enhance production visibility and support SLO-driven reliability practices.

Optimize telemetry pipelines for performance, data quality, scalability, and cost efficiency.

Help define and support governance standards for observability, ensuring consistency, reliability, and scalability across teams.

Contribute to evolving our observability platform toward intelligent and AI-enabled capabilities,



exploring opportunities to integrate AI or MCP-based solutions to improve signal quality, incident triage, and operational efficiency.

Ensure observability platform reliability, security, and performance meet defined SLAs and operational standards.
