- Establish enterprise engineering standards and reusable patterns for metrics, events, logs, traces, synthetics, instrumentation, dashboards, and alerting.
- Architect and guide implementation of telemetry solutions using Grafana, Splunk, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and related technologies.
- Define approaches for dashboards and reporting that provide actionable insights for engineering teams and technology leadership.
- Influence engineering organizations to adopt consistent telemetry, instrumentation, and integration patterns.
- Establish approaches for correlating telemetry across applications, containers, infrastructure, networking, storage, APIs, and dependent services.
- Drive automation of telemetry collection, instrumentation, dashboards, reporting, and integrations to improve consistency and reduce manual effort.
- Provide technical direction for complex, cross-platform telemetry designs, integrations, and engineering challenges.
- Define meaningful technology KPIs for performance, capacity, utilization, adoption, and operational health.
- Serve as a technical authority and trusted advisor, mentoring engineers and influencing engineering standards, architectural decisions, and technology direction across teams.
