• Platform Ownership & Architecture
• Architect and standardize end-to-end monitoring and SRE pipelines:
• Dynatrace → Service Now incident lifecycle
• Alert correlation, deduplication, and prioritization
• Integration with paging systems (Pager Duty, SMS, voice, Teams)
• Establish best practices for:
• Event ingestion and enrichment
• Incident routing and automated assignment
• Integration with CMDB and service mapping
• Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Leadership
• Lead adoption of SRE principles, including:
• SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets
• Reliability engineering practices across services
• Proactive monitoring and resilience design
• Champion a shift from reactive operations to proactive reliability engineering
• Influence application and platform teams to build observable, resilient systems by design
• Automation & Self-Healing Enablement
• Drive development of automated remediation and self-healing capabilities
• Leverage Dynatrace workflows, Azure services, and automation frameworks to:
• Reduce manual incident handling
• Eliminate repeatable operational tasks

• Own integration between Dynatrace and Service Now ITSM/ITOM, including:
• Incident, Event Management, and CMDB alignment
• Service mapping and dependency visibility
• Governance for application/service tagging
• Define standards for:
• Automated incident creation and resolution
• Priority assignment and routing logic
• Monitoring-to-ITSM data synchronization
• Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Influence
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship across SRE, platform, and application teams
• Act as a central point of coordination between engineering, cloud, and ITSM teams
• Lead workshops and working sessions to:
• Drive monitoring standardization
• Align teams on reliability practices
• Influence upstream architectural decisions
• Operational Excellence
• Establish KPIs and drive improvement in:
• Incident response and resolution times
• Alert quality and paging effectiveness
• Monitoring coverage across critical services
• Provide leadership with clear visibility into service health and reliability trends

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years in Site Reliability Engineering, monitoring, or production engineering
• Proven experience in a technical leadership or lead engineer role
• Deep hands-on experience with:
• Dynatrace (or equivalent observability platforms)
• Microsoft Azure (IaaS, PaaS, networking, identity)
• Service Now ITSM / ITOM (incident, event management, CMDB)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading SRE or observability transformation initiatives
• Strong expertise with Dynatrace–Service Now integrations
• Experience modernizing or consolidating paging/on-call tooling
• Familiarity with:
• Azure-based SRE tooling or AI-assisted operations
• Automation frameworks (Git Hub Actions, Runbooks, etc.)
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM, Bicep)

Success Metrics

• Reduction in alert noise and unnecessary paging
• Improved incident routing accuracy and MTTR
• Increased adoption of self-healing and automated workflows
• Strong alignment between monitoring, CMDB, and service ownership
• Enterprise-wide adoption of SRE and monitoring…
