Application Observability & Monitoring

• Implement and scale observability solutions across applications and services to ensure full visibility into logs, metrics, and traces.
• Consolidate and leverage modern observability technologies including Dynatrace, ELK Stack, Prometheus, and Grafana to centralize system performance visualization.
• Manage the key performance indicators (definition and/or design global dashboards) related to application health, latency, and error rates.
• Enable distributed tracing capabilities to allow automated performance bottleneck identification in microservices and API architectures
• Deploy ML-based correlation and anomaly detection capabilities within the target platform to proactively identify performance trends and root causes.

Enterprise Architecture Design

• Define the target cluster architecture for Elastic Enterprise license.
• Design cost-effective data tiering strategies (Hot/Warm/Cold tiers).
• Implement enterprise-grade RBAC security and cluster governance.

Legacy Migrations

• Lead the complete migration from Splunk to ELK.
• Decommission Splunk forwarders and deploy unified Elastic Agents.
• Migrate Newtest/Ekara user-journey scenarios to modern synthetic solutions.
• Integrate synthetic testing results with Elastic APM traces.

Observability Governance and Continuous Improvement

• Establish organizational monitoring standards and performance KPIs for the new Elastic platform.
• Collaborate with DevOps, SRE, and application teams to integrate automated performance testing and Observability-as-Code into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI).
• Contribute to the definition and improvement of monitoring standards, performance KPIs, and operational excellence practices.
• Define alerting and data correlation strategies to optimize incident detection and root-cause analysis workflows
