• Design and maintain monitoring solutions using platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix, Splunk, and Datadog.
• Monitor and optimise system performance, availability, scalability, and resilience across distributed and cloud-native environments.
• Support and troubleshoot Linux/Unix systems and containerised environments, leveraging technologies such as Kubernetes, Docker, and OpenShift.
• Collaborate with DevOps/DevSecOps teams on CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, release management, and rollback procedures.
• Drive automation initiatives using scripting and infrastructure automation tools to reduce manual effort and improve operational efficiency.
• Perform capacity planning, performance analysis, preventive maintenance, and infrastructure optimisation.
• Support middleware and integration technologies, including API management, messaging, event streaming, and identity management platforms.
• Apply ITIL practices across Incident, Problem, Change, Release, Event, and Capacity Management.
• Coordinate technical incident bridges and collaborate with cross-functional teams and client stakeholders to ensure effective service delivery.

• 7+ years of experience in IT Operations, DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or a related technical domain, including at least 3 years in a senior role.
• Strong hands-on experience with monitoring and observability platforms, such as Prometheus, Grafana, Zabbix, Splunk, or Datadog.
• Solid understanding of observability principles, including metrics, logs, distributed tracing, dashboards, and alerting.
• Experience supporting business-critical production environments, focusing on availability, performance, and service reliability.
• Good knowledge of Linux/Unix systems, containerisation, and orchestration technologies, particularly Kubernetes, Docker, and OpenShift.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and release management.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation using Bash, Python, PowerShell, or similar technologies.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and experience with incident management, root-cause analysis, and problem resolution.
• Understanding of ITIL processes and enterprise IT service management practices.
• Familiarity with middleware, API management, messaging, and integration technologies.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and coordination skills, including experience managing critical technical incidents.
• Availability and willingness to travel within Europe approximately once per month.
