• Design and extend observability pipelines (data ingestion, storage, correlation, and alerting).
• Partner with developers, SysOps, and security teams to proactively improve visibility, reliability, and incident response.
• Ensure availability, performance, and security of mission-critical Linux-based infrastructure.
• Drive automation-first approaches for infrastructure and operational tasks using Python, Bash, and configuration management/IaC tools.
• Influence architectural decisions with a strong site reliability engineering mindset, balancing performance, cost, and resilience.

Your Qualifications:

• Deep expertise in monitoring and logging ecosystems, ideally with Zabbix, Prometheus (VictoriaMetrics), Graylog, and Elasticsearch.
• Expert-level Linux administration skills with proven experience running large-scale, highly available infrastructure for SaaS/web applications.
• Hands-on production experience with Kubernetes.
