About the role
Job Summary
Key Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities Expand Observability Coverage: Design and implement standardized OpenTelemetry (OTel) SDK and API configurations for polyglot environments, focusing on Python and Java. Architect and deploy OTel-based collection mechanisms for GCP-native resources, including serverless components (Cloud Functions) and asynchronous messaging (Pub/Sub). Ensure all OTel-ingested metrics, traces, and logs are seamlessly mapped, enriched, and visualized within Dynatrace using native OTLP ingestion. Enhance Interoperability: Design, deploy, and maintain high-availability OpenTelemetry Collector pipelines to receive, process, batch, and export telemetry data. Configure OTel pipelines to dynamically route telemetry to multiple backends (e.g., exporting traces to Dynatrace and Jaeger, and metrics to Prometheus). Establish unified semantic conventions, tagging schemas, and context propagation standards across all services. Improve User Experience & Developer Enablement: Build a frictionless onboarding experience for software engineering teams by creating reusable OTel templates and bootstrap libraries. Create automated migration tools and scripts to help teams transition from legacy/proprietary agents to OpenTelemetry. Design and build automated pipelines to generate customizable Quality of Service (QoS) and Service Level Objective (SLO) reports using Dynatrace and OTel APIs. 1. Ensure Timely Resolution And Quality Compliance Of Escalated Incidents By Utilizing Dynatrace For Performance Monitoring And Powershell For Automation, Aligning With Agreed Slas.
- Conduct Value-Added Activities, Including Mentoring Team Members And Preparing Standard Operating Procedures Using Python For Process Automation, While Maintaining Effective Documentation And Promoting Knowledge Sharing.
- Validate Change Order Implementation Plans And Ensure Human Error Compliance By Leveraging Dynatrace Insights And Powershell Scripts, While Actively Participating In Capacity Planning Initiatives.
- Facilitate Positive Customer Feedback And Satisfaction By Participating In Customer Meetings, Employing Effective Communication Skills To Understand And Address Any Issues Faced.
- Validate Analyses Such As Root Cause Analysis And Trend Analysis Using Python And Present Performance Reports To Key Business Stakeholders, Ensuring Data-Driven Decision-Making.
