•Contribute to technical roadmaps and platform modernization initiatives by identifying opportunities to improve architecture, developer productivity, operational efficiency, and customer outcomes.
Observability, DevOps Orientation & Automation
•Expertise with industry-standard observability tools — Grafana, Prometheus, OpenObserve, Splunk — and SRE practices for proactive system health monitoring.
•Hands-on with ServiceNow for workflow automation (scripted actions, integrations, orchestration).
•Conduct application maintenance activities (corrective, adaptive, perfective) and re-engineering; analyse application logs, performance data, and change requests to identify feasible improvements.
•Drive initiatives for operational efficiency and service quality improvement through automation, script development, and tooling.
•Introduce AI Operations (AIOps) fundamentals and leverage LLM-based automation for predictive incident management, anomaly detection, and intelligent ticket resolution.
Command Centre Leadership
•Drive accountability for reliability and operational risks across infrastructure, platforms, and systems; translate business-impacting events into technical problem statements.
•Implement best practices for Incident, Problem, and Change Management aligned with ITIL principles.
•Monitor and alert on SLIs; upon SLA breach, triage, mitigate, and engage the necessary stakeholders to ensure faster restoration.
•Lead critical incident resolution and manage high-pressure situations in a Command Centre environment.
•Define escalation protocols and ensure timely, precise stakeholder communication during outages.
•Perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Correction of Error (COE); track action items to closure and validate through regression testing.
•Build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders; resolve conflicts effectively while maintaining focus on organisational goals.
•Work closely with engineering, product, and business teams to deliver integrated solutions; facilitate communication and alignment across diverse functional groups.
•Maintain technical runbooks, knowledge repositories, and operational playbooks.
Retail Industry Experience (Preferred)
•Apply domain knowledge to optimise IT operations for retail environments; address retail-specific challenges such as high transaction volumes, distributed store systems, and Peak season readiness.
•Bring an omni-channel perspective — stores, clubs, e-commerce, Spark, supply chain — when triaging incidents and prioritising engineering work.
