Cloud Specialist

Your role at Dynatrace What’s the role?

Dynatrace is seeking a high-energy Cloud Native Specialist to serve as the technical vanguard for modern infrastructure environments based in New York or Boston. 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, Open Shift) and container orchestration.

Demonstrate how Dynatrace provides automated, code-level visibility into microservices without manual instrumentation or sidecar overhead.

Advocate for Open Telemetry (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.
3. Platform Engineering & SRE Alignment:

Consult with customer Platform Teams to integrate Dynatrace into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Git Lab, Git Hub Actions) and "Git Ops" 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 succeed

How you (and your Recruiter!) will know that you are a good fit:

Experience:

5+ years in a technical pre-sales, Dev Ops, 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.

Experience with eBPF-based monitoring tools.

Familiarity with Fin Ops principles (matching cloud spend to container performance).Active participation in the CNCF community or open-source projects.

Why you will love being a Dynatracer Dynatrace is a leader in unified observability and security.

We provide a culture of excellence with competitive compensation packages designed to recognize and reward performance.
