Proven experience with log analytics platforms (e.g., Splunk, Elastic), including data ingestion, routing, indexing strategies, and retention management.

Ability to design cross-platform observability architecture, integrating APM, infrastructure, logs, and session data with cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and enterprise systems.

Proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, Bash) for platform configuration, scaling, and governance framework definition.

Strong leadership and cross-functional collaboration skills, with demonstrated ability to drive strategy, roadmaps, and platform standardization.

Excellent vendor management skills and the ability to influence technical direction and resolve challenges efficiently.
