Job Summary
Infra Dev Specialist responsible for designing automating and optimizing large scale monitoring and observability for enterprise infrastructure using AWS CloudWatch LogicMonitor and Splunk in a hybrid work model enabling reliable systems actionable insights and rapid incident detection for business critical services while collaborating closely with cross functional technology teams.
Responsibilities
Design and implement robust infrastructure monitoring solutions using AWS CloudWatch LogicMonitor and Splunk to provide deep visibility into application and platform health for business critical environments.Develop reusable monitoring templates dashboards and alerting policies that standardize observability across cloud and on premises systems while reducing manual configuration effort.Build and maintain automated ingestion pipelines that collect normalize and route logs metrics and events into Splunk and related observability tools to support rapid troubleshooting.Configure intelligent alert thresholds and noise reduction strategies in AWS CloudWatch and LogicMonitor to minimize false positives while ensuring timely notification of genuine service degradation.Collaborate closely with application infrastructure and security teams to translate functional and nonfunctional requirements into monitoring specifications that align with enterprise standards.Conduct detailed root cause analysis using Splunk searches correlation rules and visualizations to identify performance bottlenecks and recurring incidents that impact user experience.Optimize cost and performance of monitoring implementations by refining data retention sampling strategies and metric collection policies for various environments.Create and maintain clear operational runbooks that describe alert meaning diagnostic steps and remediation guidelines so support teams can respond consistently and efficiently.Implement infrastructure as code approaches for monitoring configurations using automation tools to enable repeatable deployments version control and environment consistency.Perform capacity and trend analysis using historical metrics and log data to forecast resource needs prevent outages and support data driven infrastructure planning.Partner with reliability and operations teams to define service level indicators and service level objectives and to align monitoring coverage with agreed reliability targets.Drive continuous improvement of monitoring quality by reviewing incident reports identifying visibility gaps and implementing targeted enhancements that reduce mean time to detect and mean time to resolve.Document monitoring architectures data flows and configuration standards in a concise and accessible manner to support knowledge sharing across global teams.
