## About the role

Map every alert source owned by Systems, Network, and Security engineering (Icinga, Grafana, SIEM/Splunk/QRadar/Sentinel, BMC/IPMI, provider-native consoles) and identify the cleanest integration point for each — webhook, syslog forward, API poll, or native connector Build and maintain the routing/forwarding layer that pushes agreed top-priority alerts from each pillar into GIOC's ticketing and paging tools, with priority/severity preserved and enough context for L1 triage without direct console access

## What they're looking for

- 5–8 years in Tools/Platform Engineering or a similar infrastructure role, including 3–5 years hands-on with monitoring/alerting tooling (Icinga or equivalent NMS, Grafana, and at least one SIEM platform — Splunk, QRadar, or Sentinel)
- Experience rapidly mapping an unfamiliar, multi-team monitoring and alerting estate and consolidating it — ideally at a cloud, hosting, or multi-datacenter operator. Equivalent hands-on Vultr experience is a strong plus
- 3+ years building integrations against APIs/webhooks, with scripting ability (Python or similar)
- 2–3 years building or substantially modifying operational dashboards (Grafana, Kibana, Power BI, or similar)
- Understanding of ticketing/ITSM workflow tools (Jira, Confluence, Mattermost) and how alert priority/severity maps into ticket fields
- Preferred: prior exposure to multi-provider/datacenter operational environments, and experience supporting or building for a NOC/SOC or similar 24x7 operations function
