Observability Partnership (approx. 15%)

  • Collaborate with Observability engineers to define service-level indicators (SLIs), dashboards, and actionable alerts across Zabbix, Grafana, Azure Monitor, and Datadog.
  • Identify telemetry gaps surfaced during incidents and drive instrumentation improvements.

  • Work supports essential public services; may be designated essential personnel during declared emergencies or continuity-of-operations events.
  • Occasional travel to state data centers or agency sites.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field; equivalent professional experience may substitute year-for-year.

  • Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex, multi-layer incidents in enterprise or hybrid cloud environments under time pressure.
  • Strong working knowledge of Windows Server, Linux, virtualization (VMware/Hyper-V), Microsoft Azure, and core networking (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, load balancing, firewalls).
  • Hands-on experience with at least two observability platforms (e.g., Zabbix, Grafana, Azure Monitor, Datadog, Splunk).
  • Scripting proficiency in PowerShell and/or Python; working knowledge of infrastructure as code.
  • Working understanding of ITIL incident, problem, and change practices.

  • Experience defining and operating SLOs and error budgets for production services.
  • Familiarity with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/AKS) and with APM and distributed tracing.
  • Experience with ServiceNow ITSM and incident command frameworks.
