Overview: The Monitoring Architect is responsible for the architecture, design, and evolution of enterprise monitoring solutions. This role focuses on defining monitoring strategies, designing
scalable and resilient monitoring architectures, and ensuring observability solutions meet operational, security, and business requirements.
The Monitoring Architect works closely with Monitoring SREs, IT operations, system engineers, and application teams to translate monitoring needs into well-structured, maintainable solutions. While
not primarily an operational role, the position provides expert-level support and guidance to SRE teams, especially for complex incidents, design questions, and improvement initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, plan, and maintain end-to-end monitoring architectures for infrastructure, systems, and applications
Define monitoring standards, best practices, and design guidelines
Evaluate, select, and integrate monitoring tools and technologies
Design alerting strategies (thresholds, alert logic, escalation, noise reduction)
Ensure monitoring solutions are scalable, resilient, secure, and maintainable
Collaborate with Monitoring SREs to support complex tickets and incidents
Provide architectural guidance during onboarding of new systems and services
Participate in root cause analysis and drive monitoring-related improvements
Document monitoring architectures, configurations, and operational procedures
Support continuous improvement of observability (metrics, alerts, dashboards, SLIs/SLOs)

Required Skills & Experience:

Technical Skills:

Strong Linux system administration background
Solid experience in system engineering and IT operations
Proven experience designing and operating monitoring solutions
Hands-on knowledge of monitoring and observability tools, such as:

• o Icinga
• o Prometheus
• o Grafana

Experience with metrics, alerts, dashboards, and monitoring automation
Automation tools for CI/CD (Jenkins, Gitlab) and configuration (Ansible, Terraform)
Experience with using REAT API form different products and tools
Understanding of networking, virtualization, and distributed systems
Scripting or automation skills (e.g., Bash, Python)

Soft Skills:

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Ability to work across teams and explain complex concepts clearly
Structured and documentation-oriented mindset
Proactive, improvement-driven attitude

Nice to have:
Experience with SRE practices (SLIs, SLOs, error budgets)
Exposure to cloud and container environments (Kubernetes, cloud monitoring)
Experience reducing alert fatigue and improving monitoring quality
Knowledge of Dynatrace Managed monitoring system and Dynatrace certification

Mandatory Requirements:

EU citizenship;
Fluency in English (written and spoken) is required; proficiency in any other European language is a plus.
