Job Description Key Responsibilities
Platform Architecture: Architect, deploy, and optimize Splunk Enterprise log management and Splunk Observability Cloud (SignalFx) environments.
Data Ingestion & Pipelines: Build and maintain telemetry data pipelines using the OpenTelemetry (OTel) Collector, SignalFx Smart Agents, and Splunk Universal/Heavy Forwarders.
Monitoring & Alerting: Design high-performance dashboards, real-time streaming charts, and dynamic alerting mechanisms using SignalFlow or advanced SPL (Search Processing Language) to eliminate alert fatigue.
Distributed Tracing & APM: Instrument cloud-native microservices applications (Java, Python, Go, Node.js) to capture distributed traces, metrics, and logs for end-to-end transaction visibility.
Collaboration & Coaching: Partner with SRE and Development teams to establish Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs), providing training on root-cause analysis using the modern Splunk ecosystem.
Best Practice: Maintain comprehensive documentation of system architecture, configurations, and troubleshooting procedures aligned with SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) best practices.
Up-to-date Security Posture: Stay current with emerging trends in cloud security, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and system hardening to enhance monitoring strategies.
