Develop procedures and standards for archival and backup of data stores

Work with developers and end-users to build queries, dashboards, and reports to support business objectives

Work with data scientists and engineers to develop and implement anomaly detection routines and machine-learning algorithms

Maintain a high level of industry knowledge and best practices; stay abreast of new tooling options; provide recommendations for enhancing, upgrading, deprecating monitoring stack as appropriate

Required Skills

7+ years of relevant software engineering experience. Experience with full-stack development in python is preferred.

Demonstrated expertise with Elasticsearch ELK stack

Familiarity with medium- to high-volume logging, syslog, and its associated services

Experience writing shell scripts
