•Own the full observability stack: metrics (VictoriaMetrics), logs (OpenSearch), and traces (OpenTelemetry) — from pipeline design to day-2 operations.
•Architect and run VictoriaMetrics cluster topology (vmstorage/vminsert/vmselect), including vmagent scraping, remote write configuration, vmalert rules, and cardinality control.

•Build and maintain OTEL Collector pipelines — receivers, processors, exporters — and instrument services across Java, Python, and JS/TS stacks (auto and manual).
