Your role at DynatraceWhat’s the role? Dynatrace is seeking a high-energy Cloud Native Specialist to serve as the technical vanguard for modern infrastructure environments. This is a specialized overlay role focused on the intersection of Platform Engineering, Kubernetes (K8s), and Multi-cloud strategy. You will partner with our Global Sales and Customer Success teams to help organizations navigate the complexities of "day-2" operations in containerized environments, ensuring they achieve full-stack observability across dynamic, ephemeral architectures. Core Responsibilities 1. Cloud Native Domian Expertise: - Act as the technical "Subject Matter Expert" (SME) for all things Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift) and container orchestration. - Demonstrate how Dynatrace provides automated, code-level visibility into microservices without manual instrumentation or sidecar overhead. - Advocate for OpenTelemetry (OTel) integration and explain how Dynatrace extends the value of open-source telemetry in a production-grade environment. 2. Domain Execution: - Lead technical discovery and high-stakes Proof of Concepts (POCs) specifically targeting "Born-in-the-Cloud" accounts or legacy enterprises undergoing digital transformation. - Build "Cloud-Native ROI" models, illustrating how automated observability reduces "Kubernetes Tax" (the operational overhead of managing K8s at scale). - Support the sales team in positioning Dynatrace against niche cloud-native tools by highlighting our AI-driven root cause analysis (Davis® AI). 3. Platform Engineering & SRE Alignment: - Consult with customer Platform Teams to integrate Dynatrace into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions) and "GitOps" workflows (ArgoCD, Flux). - Design observability-as-code strategies using Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane. - Help customers implement Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Error Budgets within their cloud-native stacks to drive SRE maturity. 4. Ecosystem Advocacy: - Stay at the forefront of the CNCF landscape, including Service Mesh (Istio, Linkerd), Serverless (AWS Lambda, Fargate), and eBPF technologies. - Conduct "Cloud Native Maturity" workshops focused on automated scaling, pod-level resource optimization, and cost-aware infrastructure management. What will help you succeedQualifications & Requirements - Experience: 5+ years in a technical pre-sales, DevOps, or SRE role, with at least 3 years specifically focused on Kubernetes and containerized workloads. - Technical Depth: * Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Application Developer (CKAD) preferred. - Deep understanding of container runtimes, ingress controllers, and service discovery. - Hands-on experience with Service Mesh architectures and sidecar patterns. - Cloud Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP), with a focus on their managed Kubernetes and Serverless offerings. - Automation & Code: Proficiency in Terraform, Helm, and YAML. Ability to read/write code in Go, Java, or Node.js to assist with microservices troubleshooting. - Business Acumen: Ability to explain the business impact of "MTTR" and "Deployment Frequency" to executive stakeholders. - Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. Preferred Skills - Experience with eBPF-based monitoring tools. - Familiarity with FinOps principles (matching cloud spend to container performance). - Active participation in the CNCF community or open-source projects.
