Job responsibilities

• Elimination of Blind Spots: Audit current metrics and address gaps in infrastructure monitoring, particularly in K8s, databases, and distributed storage systems.
• Proactive Alerting: Optimize and update Alertmanager rules to intercept incidents and anomalies before they impact users or are manually detected.

Requirements

• Experience from 3 years as Devops/SRE and from 5 years in IT.
• Knowledge of Python, Go/JS as a plus.

• Expertise in Prometheus Stack: Deep knowledge of Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager, including writing complex PromQL queries and addressing alert fatigue.
• Reliability Metrics: Practical understanding of SLI/SLO/SLA concepts, error budgets, and the methodology for collecting DORA metrics.
• Broad Technical Understanding: Experience with containerization (Kubernetes) and databases, as well as the ability to quickly grasp metrics of distributed systems (Hadoop, Trino).
• Systematic Approach to Incidents: Ability to translate abstract system behaviors and logs into clear, structured, and actionable metrics.
