Project Lead-App Development

Area(s) of responsibility

Role Summary

As Observability Engineer / SME, you will be the technical authority for designing, implementing, and operating enterprise monitoring and observability solutions across hybrid IT environments. Working hands-on with platforms such as HPE OpsRamp and SolarWinds (and similar ITOM/observability tools), you will deliver end-to-end monitoring - onboarding, discovery, service mapping, alert correlation, and ITSM-integrated event management - to improve reliability, reduce noise, and accelerate MTTD/MTTR for our clients. You will also mentor L1/L2 teams and serve as the central point of expertise for monitoring delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Implementation

• Design, deploy, configure, customize, and integrate observability solutions using HPE OpsRamp, SolarWinds, and similar platforms (Nagios, Zabbix, ManageEngine OpManager, etc.) across on-prem, cloud, and edge infrastructure.
• Analyze client infrastructure design, architecture, and security standards to define fit-for-purpose monitoring solutions.
• Develop and maintain architecture blueprints, design documents, SOPs, and operational runbooks for monitoring and event-management systems.
• Lead onboarding, discovery, service mapping, alert correlation, and runbook automation for green-field and brown-field engagements.

Operations & Event Management

• Own day-to-day operations of observability platforms - ensuring high availability, performance, capacity, data accuracy, and timely upgrades/patching.
• Manage event-management processes: event ingestion, correlation, noise reduction, deduplication, and routing to the appropriate resolver groups.
• Troubleshoot complex incidents escalated from L1/L2 teams; lead root-cause analysis (RCA) and turn telemetry into actionable reliability insights.
• Establish and continuously improve standards, thresholds, and SLA-based response models; maintain telemetry data hygiene (retention, indexing, access controls).
• Integrate monitoring tools with ITSM platforms (ServiceNow, BMC, Ivanti) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) - including alert/ticketing workflows via MID server/connectors.

Required Skills & Experience

Monitoring & Observability (mandatory)

• 6-8 years of hands-on experience in IT monitoring tool deployment, implementation, operational support, and report building.
• Strong hands-on expertise with HPE OpsRamp and SolarWinds and their modules; experience with similar tools (ManageEngine OpManager, Nagios, Zabbix, PRTG) is an advantage.
• Working knowledge of broader observability/APM platforms - Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk - and OpenTelemetry concepts.
• Proven experience in Managed Services / NOC delivery and ITSM-integrated event management.

Infrastructure, Cloud & Automation

• Strong understanding of servers, networks, virtualization, storage, and hybrid cloud environments.
• Hands-on integration experience with ITSM tools (ServiceNow preferred, BMC, Ivanti) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Scripting for automation and integration - Python, Bash, or PowerShell; familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) is a plus.

Sound understanding of ITIL processes - Incident, Problem, Change, and Configuration Management
