Cloud Native Specialist

What’s the role?

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.
• 3. Platform Engineering & SRE Alignment:Design observability-as-code strategies using Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane.
• Consult with customer Platform Teams to integrate Dynatrace into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions) and "GitOps" workflows (ArgoCD, Flux).
• 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.

Qualifications & 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.
