*Dynatrace, Open Telemetry, application performance monitoring, infrastructure observability, and observability modernization., Client is seeking a Senior Dynatrace Observability Consultant to support enterprise client projects focused on observability platform implementation, migration, dashboarding, alerting, telemetry integration, and operational adoption using Dynatrace and related observability technologies. This is a delivery-focused consulting engagement. You will lead the design, configuration, optimization, and operationalization of Dynatrace-based observability solutions across client environments, while working hands-on with dashboards, alerting, instrumentation, telemetry ingestion, automation, and platform integrations. You will partner with Client’s Observability team and client stakeholders to ensure solutions are scalable, supportable, and aligned to operational and business outcomes., As a Senior Dynatrace Observability Consultant contractor, you will:

• Lead Dynatrace implementation by configuring, optimizing, and operationalizing Dynatrace across enterprise client environments.
• Design observability experiences by building dashboards, alerting patterns, service-level views, and operational reporting for infrastructure, application, platform, SRE, leadership, and business-service use cases.
• Enable telemetry collection and integrations across infrastructure, applications, cloud platforms, Kubernetes environments, logs, user experience monitoring, synthetics, APIs, and enterprise telemetry sources.
• Support telemetry pipeline design using Dynatrace platform capabilities, OpenTelemetry-aligned collection patterns, and adjacent observability components.
• Assess and modernize client monitoring environments through dashboard rationalization, alert tuning, instrumentation improvements, telemetry onboarding, and migration from legacy monitoring platforms.
• Advise clients on telemetry governance, data quality, retention, cardinality, access, and cost optimization to improve signal value while reducing operational and platform waste.
• Support integration patterns across Dynatrace, ITSM, incident management, collaboration, workflow, and automation platforms., * Dynatrace solutions are implemented cleanly, configured correctly, and adopted successfully within client environments.
• Dashboards, alerts, service views, and reporting structures improve visibility, context, and operational decision-making.
• Alerting becomes more actionable through better routing, noise reduction, escalation design, and workflow alignment.
• Telemetry onboarding and instrumentation quality improve across applications, infrastructure, cloud, and platform domains.
• Client teams leave with stronger observability standards, clearer operating practices, and sustainable ownership of the implemented solution.
• Delivery outputs are technically sound, well-documented, and aligned to the engagement scope, timeline, and expected outcomes.

*100% Client facing role, so outstanding communication and professionalism is a must, * 8+ years of experience in observability, monitoring, SRE, DevOps, platform engineering, cloud operations, infrastructure engineering, or application operations roles.
