  • Invent, construct, and maintain actionable dashboards that display key metrics, SLI/SLOs, and system health for distributed services.
  • Collaborate with software, platform, and networking teams to integrate observability across the application lifecycle, from development to incident response.
  • Drive automation to reduce manual toil in monitoring, telemetry, and incident-response workflows; build and maintain self-service observability tooling.
  • Diagnose and resolve performance and reliability issues using root cause analysis, distributed tracing, and log correlation.
