Log Management Specialist

We are opening a position for a Log Management Specialist to strengthen our client's team based in Europe.
This role is central to a major transformation project aimed at deploying a modern log management platform based on Elastic Stack and Cribl within an OpenShift infrastructure. The specialist will be responsible for building new workflows and applications, supporting the migration from legacy solutions such as Splunk, and ensuring a smooth transition into a production-ready environment. The role will also include collaboration with DevOps engineers and product owners to translate business requirements into technical implementations.

Job Responsibilities

• Design and deploy high-performance log management solutions using Elastic Stack and Cribl, ensuring scalability, security, and operational efficiency.

• Lead the transition of existing systems to a containerized environment, primarily based on OpenShift, and ensure minimal disruption during migration phases.

• Collaborate with product teams to define and document current and future use cases, deciding on the most suitable platform for each scenario.

• Drive the strategic planning and execution of migrating use cases from Splunk to Elastic, including defining objectives, timelines, and resource needs.

• Implement and validate the technical migration from Splunk to Elastic, ensuring data accuracy and continuity of service.

• Configure and fine-tune monitoring, alerting, and visualization tools post-migration to meet or exceed previous performance levels.

• Work closely with other architecture and engineering teams to evaluate and enhance ongoing practices in log management.

• Support knowledge transfer through technical documentation, user training, and expert guidance, facilitating adoption and operational stability.

• University degree in a technical field with at least 5 years of experience in system design and administration, particularly in log management and analytics environments.

• Solid hands-on experience with Elastic Stack and Cribl in a production environment; familiarity with Splunk is considered a bonus.

• Expertise in managing monitoring and alerting tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) for log infrastructure supervision.

• Strong background in Linux administration, complemented by proven skills in container technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift.

• Proficiency in DevOps practices and agile methodologies; experience working with Azure DevOps is highly appreciated.

• Experience in cloud environments, particularly Azure, and infrastructure automation using tools such as PowerShell and Ansible.

• Ability to lead technical initiatives, translate business needs into technical solutions, and ensure successful deployment and operations.

• Fluency in English is mandatory; knowledge of French is an asset but not required.
