Monitoring Engineer

The Global Monitoring & Operations Engineer/Analyst is responsible for real-time monitoring, incident detection, triage, and coordination across the enterprise application and infrastructure landscape. This role operates within a 24×7 Global Command Center, ensuring high availability, performance, and reliability of business-critical systems including eCommerce, POS, ERP (SAP), and integrations.
The role plays a critical part in proactive issue detection, rapid incident response, and seamless escalation to L2/L3 teams, supporting a follow-the-sun operational model. Focus is on monitoring, triage, and coordination — not deep engineering troubleshooting or root cause ownership.

4. Incident Management & Communication

• Create and manage incident tickets in ITSM tools (e.g., ServiceNow)

• Communicate status updates to stakeholders, including business users when required
• Support major incident coordination by providing timely updates, documentation, and bridge call support as directed by the Incident Manager

5. Proactive Monitoring & Prevention

• Identify recurring issues and trends
• Recommend improvements to monitoring thresholds, alerts, and automation
• Provide incident timelines, logs, and supporting data to assist problem management and RCA activities led by L2/L3 teams

6. Automation & Continuous Improvement

• Collaborate with L2/L3 teams to:
  • Enhance monitoring coverage and observability
  • Support automation and automate repetitive tasks where possible
  • Improve alert quality (reduce noise, eliminate false positives)
• Maintain and update runbooks and knowledge base articles / documentation

7. Global Operations Model

• Participate in a 24×7 shift-based model (follow-the-sun across regions)
• Ensure seamless handover between shifts and regions
• Maintain operational discipline and adherence to SLAs and OLAs

Within 6–12 months, the successful candidate will:

• Consistently meet SLA targets
• Accurately classify and escalate incidents with minimal rework
• Demonstrate strong shift handover discipline
• Reduce false escalations through effective triage
• Contribute to improved alert quality and monitoring coverage
