The primary responsibility involves the end-to-end implementation, configuration, and continuous optimization of Dynatrace solutions across our infrastructure. This includes deploying OneAgent, configuring ActiveGates, and establishing comprehensive monitoring strategies encompassing tagging, baselines, and alerting mechanisms. The expert will create and maintain customized dashboards and reports to provide actionable insights into system performance for various stakeholders.
Performance Monitoring and Issue Resolution
The expert will continuously monitor system performance, analyzing logs, metrics, and distributed traces to diagnose application issues. A critical aspect of this role is utilizing reverse engineering methodologies to dissect complex system behaviors, identify root causes of performance degradation, and uncover hidden configuration flaws. This involves deep-dive performance analysis using tools like PurePath and Smartscape to ensure optimal operation of Java backends and Angular frontends.
Cloud and Microservices Integration
The candidate will be responsible for integrating Dynatrace monitoring within our AWS cloud infrastructure and microservices ecosystem. This includes ensuring seamless observability across containerized environments (e.g., Kubernetes, Docker) and serverless architectures. The expert will collaborate closely with development and DevOps teams to embed monitoring best practices into CI/CD pipelines, facilitating automated performance validation during deployments.
Required Qualifications and Skills
Technical Expertise
Candidates must possess extensive hands-on experience with the Dynatrace platform, including advanced configuration and administration. A strong foundation in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) concepts is essential. The role requires profound knowledge of AWS services, microservices architectures, and full-stack development technologies, specifically Java and Angular.
Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills
Exceptional analytical skills are required to interpret complex performance metrics, including CPU, memory, latency, and throughput. The candidate must demonstrate proficiency in reverse engineering to troubleshoot intricate system issues and optimize configurations. Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Shell) for automation and custom integrations is highly desirable.
Collaboration and Communication
The successful candidate will exhibit strong communication skills, enabling effective collaboration with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, system administrators, and project managers. The ability to document monitoring strategies, root cause analyses, and best practices clearly is crucial for maintaining a robust observability culture within the organization.
Preferred Qualifications
* Dynatrace Associate or Professional Certification.
* Experience with OpenTelemetry (OTEL) implementation.
* Familiarity with other monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Splunk, Prometheus).
* Knowledge of DevOps practices and CI/CD toolchains
