     for distributed applications.

 
Data & Integration

  • Configure log and metric ingestion from hybrid environments (cloud, containers, network, applications, endpoints).
  • Work with 
    APIs, webhooks, and forwarders
     for custom integrations between Cribl, Dynatrace, and third-party tools.
  • Collaborate with infrastructure, DevOps, and security teams to enhance data observability end-to-end.

 
Automation & Scripting

  • Automate configuration deployments using 
    Terraform, Ansible, or Dynatrace Configuration-as-Code
    .
  • Write scripts in 
    Python / Bash / PowerShell
     for observability workflows, custom metrics, and data validations.

 
Performance Monitoring & Analysis

  • Analyze service performance, latency, and resource utilization to identify bottlenecks.
  • Create 
    actionable insights and alerts
     through custom Dynatrace dashboards and Cribl data enrichment logic.
  • Participate in root cause analysis (RCA) and incident reviews using observability data.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • Strong hands-on experience with 
    Cribl Stream
     and 
    Dynatrace SaaS/Managed
    .
  • Deep understanding of 
    observability concepts (logs, metrics, traces)
     and telemetry pipelines.
  • Familiarity with 
    log management systems (Splunk, Elastic, Graylog)
     and 
    metric platforms (Prometheus, Grafana)
    .
  • Knowledge of 
    APM (Application Performance Monitoring)
    , 
    synthetic testing
    , and 
    infrastructure monitoring
    .
  • Experience in 
    data onboarding, routing, filtering, masking, and transformation
    .
  • Cloud platform exposure: 
    AWS, Azure, or GCP
    .
  • Basic networking knowledge (HTTP, DNS, TCP/IP) and OS-level performance metrics.
  • Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell).
