Responsibilities

Own the Pipeline: Design, implement, and operate high-scale, fault-tolerant CI/CD pipelines (e.g., using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar platforms) for testing and deploying monitoring configurations (e.g., Assure1 rules, Grafana dashboards, and anything else)

Drive Developer Velocity: Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the development lifecycle (commit-to-deploy time) through sophisticated tooling and automation (e.g., automated configuration testing, dependency management, and fast environment provisioning)

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (using Terraform, Ansible, or similar) to manage the build farm and testing environments in our lab and expanding to cloud platform (AWS)

Build Observability: Implement comprehensive observability (metrics, logs, traces) into the build pipeline itself to track performance, identify flaky tests, and measure Developer Experience (DevEx) metrics

Code Quality and Standards: Build automated static analysis, linting, and validation tools to enforce high quality and consistency across all monitoring and alerting rule sets

Automate Everything: Aim for complete automation of simple developer tasks. Fault rules can and should be automated end to end, only requiring review from an SME

Consultation & Mentorship: Act as a subject matter expert for developer tools, offering guidance and technical solutions to monitoring teams to help them adopt best practices. Stay up-to-date on emerging network technologies and best practices, becoming the beacon for best practices and efficient processes throughout the organization
