Dynatrace lead architect

We are looking for a highly experienced Dynatrace Expert Architect to lead the design, implementation, and optimization of enterprise observability solutions using the Dynatrace platform. The ideal candidate will have deep, hands-on expertise across Dynatrace's full stack — APM, infrastructure monitoring, log analytics, and AIOps — and will serve as the technical authority guiding architecture decisions, best practices, and platform strategy across the organization.

• Design and architect end-to-end observability solutions using Dynatrace across complex, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem).
• Lead Dynatrace platform implementation, configuration, and rollout for large-scale enterprise applications.
• Define monitoring strategy covering APM, infrastructure, network, synthetic monitoring, real user monitoring (RUM), and log management.
• Architect and optimize OneAgent deployment strategies across diverse environments (VMs, containers, Kubernetes, serverless).
• Design custom dashboards, SLOs, and alerting frameworks aligned with business and technical KPIs.
• Leverage Dynatrace's AI engine (Davis AI) for automated root-cause analysis, anomaly detection, and problem correlation.
• Develop and maintain integrations between Dynatrace and CI/CD pipelines, ITSM tools (ServiceNow, Jira), and other enterprise systems.
• Build custom extensions, API integrations, and automation scripts (Dynatrace API, DQL, JavaScript/Python) to extend platform capabilities.
• Define governance standards, tagging strategies, and management zones for large, multi-team Dynatrace environments.
• Partner with DevOps, SRE, and application teams to embed observability practices into the software delivery lifecycle.
• Provide technical mentorship and act as an escalation point for complex performance and monitoring issues.
• Conduct health checks, capacity planning, and license optimization reviews for the Dynatrace environment.
• Stay current with Dynatrace product releases, new features, and industry observability trends, and recommend adoption where relevant.

• 8–10 years of overall IT experience, with a significant portion dedicated to hands-on Dynatrace architecture and implementation.
• Proven experience architecting Dynatrace solutions for large, complex, distributed environments.
• Strong expertise in:
• Dynatrace OneAgent deployment and configuration
• Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Real User Monitoring (RUM)
• Infrastructure and Kubernetes/container monitoring
• Synthetic monitoring and availability testing
• Log Management and Analytics within Dynatrace
• Davis AI, problem correlation, and root-cause analysis
• Dynatrace Query Language (DQL) and API-based automation
• Solid understanding of cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and hybrid infrastructure.
• Experience integrating Dynatrace with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab, Azure DevOps) and ITSM platforms.
• Strong scripting/automation skills (Python, JavaScript, or similar).
• Experience with management zones, tagging strategy, and RBAC/governance in enterprise Dynatrace deployments.
• Excellent understanding of microservices architecture, distributed tracing, and modern application design.
• Strong stakeholder management and ability to translate business requirements into observability architecture.

• Dynatrace Certified Associate / Professional / Master certification(s).
• Experience with other observability tools (Splunk, New Relic, AppDynamics, Grafana, Prometheus) is a plus.
• Prior experience in a client-facing or consulting/architect role.
• Exposure to SRE practices, chaos engineering, or performance engineering.
• Experience with ITIL processes and enterprise change management.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to lead technical discussions with both engineering teams and senior leadership.
• Self-driven, with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities
