Who you are

This is the right role for you if:

Your background and skills include: 

Production operations & troubleshooting:

• Proficiency with log analysis and alerting tools,
• Observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana - reading dashboards, tuning alerts,
• Comfortable operating services running on Kubernetes (checking pod health, reading logs, triggering restarts).

Application & data layer:

• Relational databases (Oracle) - querying, interpreting execution plans, identifying data-related incidents,
• Working knowledge of Kafka, Cloudera, Oracle Database, Snowflake, Kubernetes, Bitbucket, Bamboo, JIRA, UC4.

It would be ideal if you also had: 

• Java/J2EE development background (helps enormously when reading stack traces and working with dev teams),

• Scripting (Bash, Python) for automation of repetitive operational tasks,
• Knowledge of Finance workflows.
