• Instrument target workloads end‑to‑end: logs and metrics for MVP, distributed traces in subsequent sprints
• Implement IAM and RBAC policies aligned with least‑privilege principles
• Build golden dashboards and SLO‑based alerting for MVP workloads
• Implement compliance logging guardrails: retention policies and immutable audit logs
• Package Collector configurations as reusable Terraform modules for self‑service onboarding by project teams
• Produce onboarding documentation and support knowledge transfer sessions with the client's platform team
• Contribute to runbooks and incident response procedures
• 5+ years of hands‑on cloud engineering experience, predominantly on AWS
• Solid experience with OTEL platforms like Grafana (Cloud or OSS):
  Loki, Mimir, Tempo, dashboards, and alerting
• Practical experience with Open Telemetry:
  Collector deployment, pipeline configuration, and SDK instrumentation
• Strong Terraform skills; experience packaging IaC as reusable modules
• Familiarity with AWS security services: IAM, KMS, VPC, Cloud Trail, and Cloud Watch
• Experience working in regulated or security‑conscious environments
• Proficiency in Python and/or Bash for automation and scripting
• Ability to produce clear, developer‑friendly technical documentation
• Fluent in French

• Experience with AWS Distro for Open Telemetry (ADOT) or AWS X‑Ray
• Kubernetes / EKS experience for containerised workload instrumentation
• AWS certifications (AWS Associate/Professional levels)
• Prior experience in financial services or regulated industries
