Solution Architect

Your role at Dynatrace

Our growing Enterprise Solutions Architecture Team has formed out of a high demand in our Enterprise clients needing leadership to deploy the Dynatrace platform at extreme scale, many of the Solution Architects design and develop valuable solutions either during our engagements or innovating significant ways to support the delivery of our engagements.

As an Enterprise Solutions Architect Team member you will be asked to work with a variety of accounts where you must lead very skilled engineering staff of our customers. You may also get involved in diving in to help isolate major performance issues and/or provide solutions in mitigating performance problems within large environments. You will work with our product engineering teams to ensure any functional gaps and opportunities for improvement are clearly articulated and managed between our accounts and our engineering team. Our team members regularly get involved in hands on solutioning both for our own purposes of working smarter not harder or to assist in the implementation of deployments or solutions at the customer. Our joint team of highly experienced ESAs are periodically found solutioning in C#, Java, SQL, NodeJS, JavaScript, Ansible, Puppet, Terraform and many more. To be part of the team means contributing a history of both high-level consulting to rolling the sleeves up and contributing in code either for the team or the customer.

The Solution Architects on the team are expected to refine and grow their skills and responsibilities in development, DevOps, Business Intelligence, cloud, security and infrastructure, log analytics, and various other aspects of the Dynatrace Platform. Our team members find this job incredibly engaging, very demanding at times but extremely rewarding.

The Solution Architect role is a combination of an infrastructure, automation expert, coder, trusted advisor and cloud services authority who will be responsible for leading the design and implementation of our monitoring solutions executed through a well-defined, repeatable services engagement model. Our ESA team members perform most of their responsibilities remotely at a home office and will have moderate to minimal travel from time to time.
