- To establish and maintain robust, scalable, and secure telemetry pipelines for infrastructure, applications, and user experience data.
- To ensure complete, real-time, and context-rich log and event collection across the enterprise IT estate.
- To support analytics, correlation, and anomaly detection by enabling high-quality observability data ingestion and structuring.
- To contribute to system reliability and rapid incident response through unified and centralised logging strategies.
- Architect and implement telemetry pipelines to collect, parse, transform, and route logs from servers, containers, applications, network devices, and cloud services.
- Maintain and optimise logging agents, ingestion layers, and storage backends for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.
- Define and enforce log quality standards: consistent schemas, severity levels, and metadata tagging.
- Enable log correlation with metrics and traces for full-stack observability and root cause analysis.
- Partner with GSO teams to ensure log integrity, retention, and availability for compliance and forensic needs.
- Troubleshoot gaps in logging, identify missing telemetry sources, and maintain 100% coverage of mission-critical assets.
- Maintain documentation of telemetry pipelines, logging schemas, retention policies, and access controls.
- Support observability use cases such as anomaly detection, trend reporting, and alert enrichment with log data.
- Participate in SRE/DevOps practices such as incident retrospectives, reliability reviews, and capacity planning.
- Ensure that logs are properly integrated with SIEM, APM, and incident management tools.
- Stay updated with developments in observability standards, particularly OpenTelemetry and related CNCF projects.
- Provide on-call support for critical telemetry pipeline issues as part of a rota.
- Deep hands-on experience with centralised logging solutions such as ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), OpenSearch, Splunk, Fluentd, Fluent Bit, or Loki.
- Strong understanding of log formats (structured/unstructured), log parsers, field extraction, and enrichment techniques.
- Experience designing, deploying, and maintaining scalable telemetry pipelines across hybrid environments.
- Familiarity with OpenTelemetry, syslog, JSON, protobuf, OTLP, and cloud-native logging (e.g. AWS CloudWatch Logs, Azure Monitor Logs).
- Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, PowerShell) for log agent deployment, parsing automation, and data hygiene.
- Capable of translating operational needs into actionable telemetry strategies.
