Ilia Ableev is an experienced engineering leader with a decade focused on monitoring, reliability, incident management and on-call operations, currently heading Data Tools at Plata Card in Mexico City. He has built and scaled 24/7 incident and monitoring organizations across companies like SberCloud, Avito and Badoo, splitting large teams into specialized units and driving postmortem-driven improvements that reduced missed incidents to zero. Comfortable in cloud-native and mixed environments, he has hands-on expertise with Grafana, Zabbix, Prometheus, ELK, Kubernetes and AWS, and a track record optimizing databases and network operations in production. Ilia combines people management—hiring, 1:1s and promotions—with technical ownership, having led cross-functional DevOps, DBA and Service Desk teams. Notably, he moved monitoring products from brittle to reliable at scale (hundreds of thousands of monitored servers) and favors pragmatic processes that make on-call work sustainable.
