## Description

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:
 2. Act as the technical "Subject Matter Expert" (SME) for all things Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift) and container orchestration.
 3. Demonstrate how Dynatrace provides automated, code-level visibility into microservices without manual instrumentation or sidecar overhead.
 4. Advocate for OpenTelemetry (OTel) integration and explain how Dynatrace extends the value of open-source telemetry in a production-grade environment.
 5. Domain Execution:
 6. Lead technical discovery and high-stakes Proof of Concepts (POCs) specifically targeting "Born-in-the-Cloud" accounts or legacy enterprises undergoing digital transformation.
 7. Build "Cloud-Native ROI" models, illustrating how automated observability reduces "Kubernetes Tax" (the operational overhead of managing K8s at scale).
 8. Support the sales team in positioning Dynatrace against niche cloud-native tools by highlighting our AI-driven root cause analysis.
 9. Platform Engineering & SRE Alignment:
 10. Consult with customer Platform Teams to integrate Dynatrace into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions) and "GitOps" workflows (ArgoCD, Flux).
 11. Design observability-as-code strategies using Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane.
 12. Help customers implement Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Error Budgets within their cloud-native stacks to drive SRE maturity.
 13. Ecosystem Advocacy:
 14. Stay at the forefront of the CNCF landscape, including Service Mesh (Istio, Linkerd), Serverless (AWS Lambda, Fargate), and eBPF technologies.
 15. Conduct "Cloud Native Maturity" workshops focused on automated scaling, pod-level resource optimization, and cost-aware infrastructure management.
