Job Summary:
We are seeking a skilled Dynatrace Engineer to design, implement, and optimize enterprise-scale observability and application performance monitoring (APM) solutions. The ideal candidate will have hands-on expertise with the Dynatrace platform, a deep understanding of infrastructure and application monitoring, and the ability to integrate Dynatrace into complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This role will ensure end-to-end visibility, proactive performance management, and alignment with SLO- driven outcomes across business-critical systems.
Key Responsibilities
Implementation & Configuration
  • Deploy and configure Dynatrace agents across servers, applications, containers, and cloud workloads.
  • Enable and fine-tune Application Performance Monitoring (APM), Real User Monitoring (RUM), Synthetic Monitoring, and Log Monitoring.
  • Design custom dashboards, alerts, and visualization layers tailored to application and business needs.
  • Configure Davis AI and Smartscape topology to ensure accurate dependency mapping and root cause detection.

Integration & Automation
  • Integrate Dynatrace with CI/CD pipelines, ITSM platforms (ServiceNow, Jira), and collaboration tools.
  • Automate deployment and configuration using scripts, APIs, or Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools like Ansible or Terraform.
  • Work closely with DevOps and SRE teams to embed observability practices into build, release, and operations workflows.

Performance Optimization & Troubleshooting
  • Proactively monitor application and infrastructure performance, identifying bottlenecks and anomalies.
  • Perform root cause analysis (RCA) and provide recommendations to improve system reliability and performance.
  • Partner with development, database, and infrastructure teams to resolve incidents and improve service uptime.

Observability Governance & Best Practices
  • Define and enforce observability standards, dashboards, and KPIs across the enterprise.
  • Support SLO/SLA tracking and reporting to align monitoring with business objectives.
  • Contribute to documentation, playbooks, and runbooks to standardize observability practices.
Required Skills & Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in APM, observability, or infrastructure monitoring.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Dynatrace OneAgent, Dynatrace Managed/SaaS, and observability modules (APM, RUM, Synthetic, Log Monitoring).
  • Experience integrating Dynatrace with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) and ITSM platforms (ServiceNow, Jira).
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Shell) and API-based automation.
  • Strong understanding of application architectures (microservices, containers, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform).
  • Knowledge of infrastructure components (Windows/Linux servers, network, storage, databases).
  • Familiarity with observability ecosystem tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) is a plus.
  • Ability to work with globally distributed teams and manage stakeholder expectations.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills.

Preferred:
  • Certification in Dynatrace Associate/Professional or equivalent.
  • Experience in hybrid or multi-cloud monitoring strategies.
  • Exposure to AIOps concepts and automation workflows.
  • Exposure to Open Telemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and modern observability stacks.
  • Familiarity with Dynatrace Grail/DQL and AI-based anomaly detection.
  • Knowledge of cost optimization and FinOps practices in observability platforms.
  • Industry certifications in observability, SRE, ITIL, or cloud (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform).
  • Experience in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, public sector)
