Responsibilities
Design and implement robust pipelines that collect and aggregate telemetry data (logs, metrics, events, and traces) from various cloud-native sources
Configure AI-driven anomaly detection to move beyond static thresholds, allowing the system to identify unusual behavior before it triggers a critical outage
Collaborate with software teams to integrate auto-instrumentation libraries into the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring every new service is 'observable by default.'
Automate the deployment of dashboards, alerting rules, and SLO (Service Level Objective) tracking via IaC to ensure consistent visibility across development, staging, and production
Leverage AI-driven operations (AIOps) and distributed tracing to reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) and lead root-cause analysis for complex, cross-functional system failures
Monitor security event logs (e.g., flow logs, firewall logs) to identify vulnerabilities and ensure systems comply with legal regulations
Use tools like Terraform, OpenTofu, or Pulumi to automate the provisioning and deployment of monitoring tools, dashboards, and alerting policies
Design and manage automated deployment pipelines using industry standard tools (Spacelift/ HCP Terraform)
Establish continuous reconciliation systems that automatically detect and correct unauthorized changes to infrastructure, maintaining the intended state without human intervention
Embed security policies, encryption-at-rest requirements, and compliance scans directly into IaC templates to enforce 'security-by-default'
Orchestrate consistent environments across AWS and Azure using cloud-agnostic tools to prevent vendor lock-in and optimize for high availability
Write and automate unit and integration tests for infrastructure changes to prevent breaking production environments
