Role Overview
Our client is expanding its Dynatrace Observability Practice and is seeking an experienced Senior Observability Consultant to lead the design and deployment of the Dynatrace platform for a UK client. This is a senior, client-facing role for a hands-on technical leader who can own observability solutions end to end - from architecture and design through implementation to ongoing operation and optimisation - while mentoring more junior consultants and acting as the technical point of contact for customer stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead observability solution design and architecture, producing High Level Design (HLD), Low Level Design (LLD) and Technical Design documentation, including network zone, environment group and host group design.
• Own end-to-end deployment of the Dynatrace platform:
  One Agent (infrastructure and full-stack modes), Environment Active Gate installation, and Open Telemetry (OTEL) collector/agent deployment and configuration.
• Design and configure dashboards (standard and custom), alerting profiles/segments, problem notifications and workflows, tagging, process (OS service) monitoring, synthetic monitors and SLOs.
• Implement Dynatrace log management and custom event modelling: log buckets and retention, log events, custom metrics and metric events, and business events derived from logs.
• Build automation and integrations using the Dynatrace API and Dynatrace Workflows, including integration with ITSM tooling (ideally Service Now) for incident and problem management.
• Act as the technical lead on client engagements: run kickoffs and requirement-gathering workshops, manage the technical relationship with customer stakeholders, and provide regular status reporting.
• Support the ongoing operation, health and tuning of deployed environments, and contribute to managed / retained observability support services.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior consultants, and develop and deliver training and enablement sessions to customer teams.

• Strong experience producing observability architecture and design documentation and leading technical implementation within structured, phased programmes.
• Working knowledge of the Dynatrace API and Workflows for automation, integration and data extraction.
• Awareness of data-protection considerations in observability tooling, including handling of PII in ingested telemetry and use of data-masking / pipeline controls.
• Familiarity with the wider observability ecosystem and associated technologies:
• Cloud platforms: AWS, Microsoft Azure and/or Google Cloud Platform
• Containers and orchestration:
  Kubernetes, Open Shift and Docker
• Operating systems:
  Linux and Windows Server
• Telemetry and observability signals:
  Open Telemetry (OTEL), application performance monitoring (APM), infrastructure monitoring, log monitoring, real user monitoring (RUM) and synthetic monitoring
• ITSM integration, Strong Service Now knowledge, for incident and problem management
• CI/CD and automation tooling such as Azure Dev Ops, Git Lab, Jenkins, Ansible or Terraform
• Scripting for automation and data extraction:
  Python, Bash and/or Power Shell
• Core networking concepts: firewalls, ports, proxies, DNS and TLS
• Strong knowledge of Agentic AI technologies and autonomous operations principles
