Senior SRE – Application Performance Monitoring (Contract)

About the opportunity

What you'll do

• Meet with each application team to document which monitoring, logging and APM tools they use and how they use them.
• Present discovery findings and timeline updates to stakeholders in weekly check-ins.
• Work alongside the studio's infrastructure SRE to plan how application monitoring fits the current incident-response process and culture.
• Recommend solutions for a proof-of-concept phase, whether one platform or several, with estimated platform and service costs.
• Support the proof-of-concept or implementation phase that follows, as scope allows.

What you bring

• Senior-level experience in Site Reliability Engineering and/or DevOps, with a heavy focus on application performance monitoring, centralized logging and tracing.
• Hands-on work with SaaS or on-prem platforms such as Datadog, Dynatrace, Elastic/ELK, Logz.io, Grafana or Prometheus.
• Experience connecting application alerts to an incident-response process.
• Clear, responsive communication with technical and non-technical teams.
• Friendly but assertive follow-through: you can get information and move actions forward across many teams in a large organization.

Nice to have

• Zabbix and/or PagerDuty experience
• Visual effects, animation or media production background
• Experience running discovery or assessment engagements as a consultant
