Senior Engineer- Logging & Telemetry

Overall objectives

To establish and maintain robust scalable and secure telemetry pipelines for infrastructure applications and user experience data.

To ensure complete real-time and context-rich log and event collection across the enterprise IT estate.

To support analytics correlation and anomaly detection by enabling high-quality observability data ingestion and structuring.

To contribute to system reliability and rapid incident response through unified and centralised logging strategies.

Role specific responsibilities

Architect and implement telemetry pipelines to collect parse transform and route logs from servers containers applications network devices and cloud services.

Maintain and optimise logging agents ingestion layers and storage backends for performance reliability and cost efficiency.

Define and enforce log quality standards: consistent schemas severity levels and metadata tagging.

Enable log correlation with metrics and traces for full-stack observability and root cause analysis.

Partner with GSO teams to ensure log integrity retention and availability for compliance and forensic needs.

Troubleshoot gaps in logging identify missing telemetry sources and maintain 100% coverage of mission-critical assets.

General functional responsibilities

Maintain documentation of telemetry pipelines logging schemas retention policies and access controls.
