Senior Observability Specialist

Why This Role Matters

In a world where milliseconds matter and reliability is non-negotiable, observability is the superpower that keeps enterprise systems alive, agile, and trusted.

As our Senior Observability Specialist, you will architect the nervous system of our digital estate, bringing clarity to complexity across hybrid cloud, distributed platforms, and mainframe environments. Your work will ensure incidents are prevented before they happen, detected faster than ever, and resolved with confidence and speed.

You won’t just monitor systems, you will illuminate them, championing Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles, automation-first thinking, and a truly measure-first culture.

Your Mission

To deliver enterprise-grade observability solutions that provide real-time insights into system health, performance, and resilience—using best-in-class platforms like Dynatrace and ServiceNow.

You’ll partner with technology and business leaders to design scalable, integrated monitoring ecosystems that empower teams, reduce noise, and turn data into decisive action.
