Role Overview:
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Observability Engineer with deep expertise in ESS (Elastic Stack) to lead and accelerate the development of enterprise-grade observability capabilities across mission-critical applications.
This role requires a hands-on SME who can design, build, and scale observability dashboards, APM, tracing, and monitoring solutions exclusively within ESS. The candidate will play a key role in transforming current monitoring into a proactive, intelligent, and scalable observability ecosystem.
This is a high-impact, fast-paced engagement (target < 6 months) requiring ownership, technical depth, and execution excellence.
Key Responsibilities:
ESS Observability Architecture & Implementation:
- Design and implement end-to-end observability solutions using ESS (Elastic Stack).
- Build a centralized observability layer covering all MF applications.
- Ensure block-level aggregation with drill-down to:
- Application-level metrics
- APM traces
- Logs and events
- Service dependencies
Dashboard Engineering (Critical Priority):
- Develop and scale a large backlog of ESS dashboards, including but not limited to:
- Cluster Health (OCP/K8s)
- API & APM Dashboards
- Service Health & Dependency Monitoring
- Pod Status / Restart / Scaling Metrics
- HTTP Status Analytics (200/400/500 trends)
- Transaction Processing Metrics
- Infra Metrics (CPU, Memory, Disk, Network)
- Synthetic Monitoring & Availability
- Build intuitive, drill-down dashboards from MF Block → Service → Application level.
