About the role

Job description : • Provide support for application incidents across digital platforms, working closely with Platform Engineering, Application Development, and customer support teams to ensure timely resolution according to established SLAs and escalation procedures. • Operate and monitor the Elastic Observability stack — including Elasticsearch cluster health, Kibana, Fleet Server, APM Server, and Elastic Agent — deployed and managed via ECK on OKE. • Assist with day-to-day Elasticsearch operations such as index lifecycle management (ILM), snapshot lifecycle management (SLM), data tier housekeeping (hot, warm, cold, frozen), and capacity monitoring. • Troubleshoot telemetry ingestion issues across logs, metrics, traces, and synthetic monitors, ensuring consistent data collection from all platforms. • Maintain and update Kibana dashboards, alerting rules, and saved objects under the guidance of the SRE Manager. • Perform root cause analysis and participate in blameless post-incident reviews to improve system reliability and reduce recurrence. • Collaborate with Platform Engineering to automate repetitive tasks, improve deployment pipelines, and enhance observability coverage using Terraform, Helm charts, and scripting. • Develop and maintain support documentation, runbooks, and knowledge base articles aligned to standardized incident response procedures. • Manage and prioritize incidents and requests via the ticketing system (Jira/ServiceNow), ensuring all incidents, requests, and resolutions are documented in the service management system. • Participate in an on-call rotation and help reduce operational toil through automation and tooling. • Monitor and report on key performance metrics related to incident management, including mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to resolve (MTTR). • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and vendor partners to improve overall system reliability, observability maturity, and security posture.
