  • Build and maintain the alert-routing and forwarding layer into GIOC ticketing and paging tools while preserving priority, severity, and triage context.
  • Validate routing and resolve-versus-escalate logic with engineering subject-matter experts.
  • Own on-call and notification wiring so critical alerts reach GIOC within agreed acknowledgment SLAs without manual relay.
  • Design and build a unified operational dashboard across Airtel, Nextra, Equinix, QTS, and CoreSite.
  • Define and deliver dashboard v1 with GIOC and pillar leads on a committed milestone.
  • Operate legacy tools and the new dashboard in parallel during transition to preserve visibility.

Requirements

  • 5–8 years of experience in Tools/Platform Engineering or a similar infrastructure role.
  • 3–5 years of hands-on experience with monitoring and alerting tooling, including Icinga or an equivalent NMS, Grafana, and at least one SIEM platform such as Splunk, QRadar, or Sentinel.
  • Experience mapping and consolidating unfamiliar, multi-team monitoring and alerting environments, ideally in cloud, hosting, or multi-datacenter operations.
  • At least 3 years of experience building integrations against APIs or webhooks, with scripting ability in Python or a similar language.
  • 2–3 years of experience building or substantially modifying operational dashboards using Grafana, Kibana, Power BI, or similar tools.
  • Understanding of ticketing and ITSM workflows, including Jira, Confluence, and Mattermost, and how alert priority and severity map to ticket fields.
  • Preferred experience with multi-provider or datacenter operational environments and with NOC, SOC, or similar 24x7 operations functions.
  • Equivalent hands-on Vultr experience is a strong plus.
