Responsibilities

• Own and grow monitoring & observability: Splunk, Prometheus / VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, AlertManager, integrations (e.g. PagerDuty); tune alerts, dashboards, and on-call signal quality.
• Operate Kubernetes platforms (e.g. SpectroCloud / Cloudstack): deploy workloads, routine changes, node/cluster hygiene, work with operators and GitOps (Flux, Helm/Kustomize).
• Help run stateful services in k8s with senior guidance: e.g. Kafka, MariaDB/Galera — incidents, runbooks, upgrades.
• Participate in migrations & cutovers (prep, sync, failover steps) as part of a larger team.
• Contribute to automation: Ansible playbooks, Bash/Python scripts, SSL/cert workflows where documented.
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude, similar) to speed up investigation, scripting, IaC changes, and documentation — with human review and safe change practices.
• Support production: on-call rotation (with escalation paths), incidents, ChatOps, studio-facing tickets; document in Confluence; use Jira for work tracking.
• Collaborate with SRE, DI, RnD, and ServiceOPS teams on all technical and monitoring aspects.

Requirements

• Strong tilt toward monitoring: hands-on with Prometheus or VictoriaMetrics and Grafana (Splunk will be a plus).
• Comfortable on Linux (Ubuntu LTS): shells, systemd, logs, networking basics (TCP/IP, DNS, ports, load balancing concepts).
• Kubernetes fundamentals: pods, Deployments, Services, resources/limits, reading Helm/Kustomize, willingness to deepen on statefulSets/operators.
• Exposure to at least one data/log stack: e.g. OpenSearch/Elasticsearch or Kafka or MariaDB — not all; eagerness to learn the rest.
• Logging: basic ELK/OpenSearch/Filebeat experience or equivalent lab project.
• Git + GitOps mindset: branches/PRs, Flux or similar CI/CD to clusters (can be mentored).
• Scripting: Bash for daily tasks; can read and small edits in Python.
• Comfort using AI coding assistants (e.g. Cursor, Claude) for everyday work: exploring repos/configs, drafting changes, summarizing incidents — with judgment on correctness and security.
• Secrets & automation: Vault or similar concepts; Ansible familiarity helpful, not mandatory day one.
• Soft skills: clear written updates, calm troubleshooting with others; Confluence + Jira.
• Bonus: Splunk touch, Nginx/MaxScale, SpectroCloud/Cloudstack, game-studio production context.
