Looking for architect, Design engineer and Automation SME for the role below. This is a fully remote position.
Automation Engineers and Architects Monitoring & Alerting Focused
Key Activities:
Unified Monitoring Framework: Build an integrated solution leveraging existing tools (Splunk, Dynatrace, security platforms) and local logs from Windows/Linux servers, infrastructure components (storage arrays, SAN switches, network devices), databases (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, MongoDB), backup systems (Rubrik, Data Domain, Infinibox), compute nodes (Dell servers), VMware environments, IBM Power/AIX, and IBM LinuxOne.
Automated Alerting & Proactive Response: Develop intelligent alerting mechanisms and automated remediation workflows to reduce manual intervention and accelerate incident resolution.
Data Integration & Gap Closure: Aggregate and normalize data from multiple sources, including platform tools and local logs, to fill visibility gaps and provide actionable insights.
Dashboard Development: Create a common GUI-based dashboard for real-time monitoring, alerting, and reporting across all infrastructure layers.
Skills & Tools: Utilize Ansible, Python, PowerShell, shell scripting, and GUI development to deliver scalable automation solutions.
Business Impact:
- Improved Reliability: Proactive detection and automated remediation reduce outages and service degradation.
- Operational Efficiency: Significant reduction in manual monitoring and troubleshooting efforts.
- Enhanced Security & Compliance: Centralized visibility into logs and alerts ensures faster response to security events.
- Scalability: A common framework supports growth and complexity without proportional increases in headcount.
