• Advanced Splunk ITSI knowledge: Service trees/decompositions, KPIs/thresholds (adaptive/time-based), NEAP tuning, glass tables, deep dives, Service Analyzer configuration.
• Strong OpenShift/Kubernetes observability: Cluster/control-plane metrics, kube events/logs, workload/node/network/storage correlations, capacity/noisy-neighbor detection.
• Experience with data pipelines/collectors: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus scraping, Fluentd/Fluent Bit/Vector, Kafka (TLS-secured), HEC/UF/DS onboarding.
• Reliability & SLOs: Golden signals, rollout/rollback health checks, SLO/KPI mapping to namespaces/apps, executive/ops dashboards.
• Performance & cost optimisation: Workload rules, DMA, summary indexing, schedule hygiene, license/cost guardrails.
• Security & compliance: TLS/mTLS, token/cert management, PII controls, auditability, role/index mappings.
• Automation & integrations: ITSM/ChatOps routing, runbooks, CMDB enrichment, webhook/AIOps integrations.

Preferred / Desirable

• Hands-on experience in regulated/financial services environments.
• Certifications: Splunk Enterprise Certified Architect, Splunk ITSI Certified Admin, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with AIOps/ML features in Splunk for anomaly detection.
• Previous work with container platforms (Kubernetes/OpenShift) for observability at scale.

Success Measures

• High-quality, scalable Splunk/ITSI deployments with optimised performance and cost controls.
• Effective service health monitoring via ITSI (accurate KPIs, glass tables, deep dives).
• Reduced alerting noise, improved incident response through enriched routing and automation.
• Strong governance, security compliance, and traceability in data ingest/observability pipelines.

• Deliver OpenShift-focused executive and operational dashboards, including:
• Cluster/API/etcd health
• Node readiness and resource pressure
• Pod restart trends and noisy-neighbour detection
• Network and storage error visibility
• Capacity, quota, and burst analysis
• Optimise search and platform performance (workload rules, DMA, summary indexing, scheduling hygiene, concurrency tuning)
• Implement intelligent alerting and automated routing into ITSM and ChatOps platforms, including enrichment, suppression windows, and maintenance scheduling
• Govern data ingestion and security controls (RBAC, retention, PII handling, TLS, token governance, index and role mapping)
• Integrate telemetry pipelines including OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Fluentd/Fluent Bit/Vector, Kafka, CMDB and AIOps/ML solutions
• Drive SLO/KPI alignment, golden signal monitoring, rollout/rollback health validation, and executive reporting

What You’ll Bring

• Deep expertise in Splunk Enterprise (SPL mastery, CIM alignment, saved searches, macros, KV stores, index/retention/RBAC design, performance tuning)
• Strong experience with Splunk ITSI (service trees, KPIs, adaptive/time-based thresholds, NEAP tuning, Service Analyzer configuration)
• Proven OpenShift/Kubernetes observability experience across control-plane metrics, events, logs, workload correlation, and capacity management
• Hands-on experience with telemetry pipelines (OpenTelemetry/OTLP, Prometheus exporters, Fluentd/Fluent Bit/Vector, Kafka with TLS, HEC/UF/DS onboarding)
• Strong understanding of reliability engineering principles (golden signals, SLO design, namespace/application KPI mapping)
• Experience optimising performance and licensing costs using workload rules, DMA, and summary indexing
• Solid security and compliance knowledge (TLS/mTLS, certificate/token hygiene, PII controls, auditability, role/index mapping)
• Automation and integration expertise across ITSM, ChatOps, webhooks, CMDB enrichment, and AIOps tooling
