• You drive the development of monitoring, dashboards, observability, and metrics, preferably with support from LGTM or similar solutions.
• You contribute to reducing operational risk through higher stability, shorter recovery times, fewer recurring incidents, more automation, and clearer governance.

• At least 8–10 years of experience in senior roles within IT operations, production operations, platform, cloud, infrastructure, or SRE.
• Documented experience in establishing, transforming, or leading operational capabilities or teams within operations, platform, or SRE.

• Experience working in environments with high demands for security, compliance, documentation, access control, and auditability.
