Senior Solutions Architect

Our growing 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 our engagements require highly experienced Solution Architect services to assess, design and provide guided implementation assistance. The engagements we lead often help our customers navigate use cases through their own highly complex hybrid environments.
Many of the enterprises we encounter are on a journey, transforming the way they monitor at scale and not only in production but throughout their entire application lifecycles. Beyond improving their monitoring, our customers also seek to use our products to increases their competitive advantage. Our capabilities offer tool rationalization, ITSM integrations, DevOps techniques all in highly dynamic environments that span both Cloud and On-Premise infrastructure.
As an Architecture 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 Architects are periodically found coding 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.
Beyond working with customers, Architecture Team members are also responsible for updating the wider consultancy teams with best practices, lessons learned and key guidance in both their customer-facing work and career.
As a team member we find it exciting to be exposed to a vast number of technologies, teams and techniques throughout some of the top organizations in the world. This opportunity is one of a kind and will often exercise every skill set in an Architects arsenal. Our Architecture team members find this job incredibly engaging, very demanding at times but extremely rewarding.
Our team members have a passion for technology, the ability to understand and assess new technologies and understanding their applicability to business. We are seeking a driven individual who has a desire to work with some of the best in the market.
