Sr. Technology Engineer (Operations)

This technology engineer is responsible for ensuring the reliability, supportability, and continuous improvement of key infrastructure monitoring and management platforms, with primary ownership focus on tools such as SolarWinds, Azure Sentinel. This role requires a developer mindset. This person will also be providing operations systems administration support for hands on Linux and Windows systems. This role partners closely with internal teams across operations, monitoring, and security to strengthen platform health, improve signal quality, and enable effective incident response workflows. The engineer will support a hybrid environment with strong emphasis on Microsoft Azure monitoring and logging, contribute to platform lifecycle activities (patching, upgrades, onboarding, documentation), and continuously learn and apply modern capabilities— including analytics and emerging AI features—across event management, observability, and SIEM tooling to reduce operational friction and increase time to value

Responsibilities

Platform Ownership

Network & Monitoring Tools (must have)

Familiar with tools such as SolarWinds (including NetPath). As a platform owner, ensure platform stability, upgrades, patching, and day to day support.

Partner with platform and cloud teams to ensure migrated workloads meet monitoring standards. Systems Administration (must have)

Provide sysadmin support for Linux and Windows servers, including:

Agent deployment and upgrades (SolarWinds, Datadog, Dynatrace)

OS level troubleshooting and configuration

Monitoring and logging enablement

Support hybrid environments spanning on prem and Azure infrastructure.

A developer mindset with experience in Dev workflow, GitHub, PowerShell etc.

Observability & Event Management Support (should have)

Has experience with tools such as Datadog and Dynatrace. The person will be responsible for collaborating with platform owners to support integrations, data quality, and alerting hygiene.

Assist with event management workflows, ensuring alerts are actionable and routed correctly.

Participate in efforts to reduce alert noise and repeat incidents. SIEM & Security Visibility (nice to have)

Develop a working understanding of SIEM concepts and platforms such as Azure Sentinel and CRIBL.

Support log ingestion, troubleshooting, and collaboration with security and incident response teams.

Ensure infrastructure and network telemetry supports security detection requirements. Cloud Monitoring & Azure Integration (should have)

Has experience with Azure cloud platform. Have either directly supported or is familiar with Azure based monitoring and logging, including:

Azure Monitor and Log Analytics integrations

Observability for Azure hosted workloads Automation, AI & Continuous Improvement (nice to have)

Explore and apply AI assisted features within monitoring, event management, and SIEM tools to:

Improve signal quality / reduce alert fatigue

Support faster incident triage

Contribute to documentation, runbooks, and operational improvements focused on small, incremental wins.

Knowledge Transfer & Operational Resilience

Participate in knowledge transfer activities related to platform transitions and retirements. Maintain documentation.

Support on call or escalation rotations as needed.

Skills

Must have

Minimum 4-5 years of experience in infrastructure operations, monitoring, observability, or platform operations roles, supporting enterprise environments

Hands on experience with systems administration for Linux and Windows servers, including troubleshooting, configuration, and deployment of monitoring or management agents (e.g., SolarWinds, Datadog, Dynatrace).

Foundational networking knowledge, including concepts such as SNMP, network monitoring, LAN/WAN fundamentals, firewalls, and telemetry collection, sufficient to support network centric monitoring platforms like SolarWinds

Not a must but nice to have experience with platform like StruxureWare.

Experience with observability or monitoring platforms, such as SolarWinds, Datadog, Dynatrace, or similar tools, with an understanding of alerting, dashboards, and signal quality.

Exposure to cloud environments, preferably Microsoft Azure, including familiarity with monitoring and logging concepts (e.g., cloud based telemetry, logs, metrics, and integrations).

Basic understanding of incident and event management practices, including alert triage, escalation, and collaboration with incident response or operations teams.

Demonstrated willingness and ability to learn new technologies quickly, with examples of picking up new platforms, tools, or domains outside of prior core expertise.

Familiarity with Agile or SAFe ways of working, including collaboration in sprint based delivery models, and cross functional team engagement is a plus.

Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with platform owners, operations teams, security teams, and external stakeholders.

Experience working in a modern Dev workflow using GitHub (branches, pull requests, code reviews, and CI/CD) to manage and deploy scripts/automation used for platform operations

Working proficiency in scripting languages such as PowerShell, Python, BASH, or similar scripting languages.

Knowledge with Azure, Azure Active Directory (AD), and hybrid cloud environments is a plus.

Exposure to SIEM concepts or platforms such as Azure Sentinel, CRIBL, or similar is a plus.
