- Develop and maintain configuration-as-code using Terraform, with repositories and pipelines in Azure DevOps today and a planned move to GitHub Enterprise.
- Create and maintain custom Dynatrace extensions to expand monitoring coverage for systems that do not have native support.
- Implement observability for DevOps frameworks in Azure, including instrumentation and quality gates within CI/CD pipelines.
- Onboard applications and infrastructure to observability platforms, including instrumentation, monitoring configuration, and data validation.
- Automate alerting and remediation workflows to reduce mean time to resolution and improve service uptime.
- Partner with application, cloud, network, and security teams to establish and apply observability standards across the environment.
- Create user documentation, operational guidance, and best practices to help teams use observability tools effectively.
- Use standard work, project management tools, and change management processes to deliver reliable and well-coordinated work.
- Model Mass General Brigham's values through collaboration, accountability, service commitment, innovation, integrity, respect, continuous improvement, and teamwork.
