Solution Architect
Your role at Dynatrace
Our growing Enterprise Solutions 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 the Senior Solutions Architects are also veteran developers, designing and developing valuable solutions either during our engagements or innovating significant ways to support the delivery of our engagements.
The solutions we build are many times shared and used by many of our growing list of enterprise accounts. As we continue to grow, solutions such as our regularly expanding online Elevate portal or custom solutions that help maximize the use of the Dynatrace platform for our clients often need continued development support and assistance as our user base and engagement offerings expand. The team consists of extremely strong technical talent, yet we are always exposed to new challenges for technical growth, daily communication with peers as well as customers.
This Job is a full-time role within the ESA team to first assist customers in solutioning complex integrations, second, assisting Enterprise Solutions Architects with key delivery tasks, presentations, diagrams, data analytics or hands on integrations, and third to contribute in developing features within our new and expanding Elevate portal that not only serves up the ESA content to our engagements but will also serve up and manage content for the rest of the Dynatrace Services Organization. Ultimate direction of any development will be given by the ESA team.
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. Our team members find this job incredibly engaging, very demanding at times but extremely rewarding. There are clear career growth paths to becoming an Enterprise/Senior Solution Architect and potential of Managing Architect.
While the Senior Solutions Engineers on the team are expected to refine and grow their skills and responsibilities in development, DevOps, Business Intelligence, cloud, security and infrastructure practices they are not typically assigned unassisted full lifecycle development deliverables that require design, development that they own from inception to release. The Solution Architect will be expected to work closely with Senior Solutions Engineers, mentoring while collaborating with several customers that have purchased our annual engagements. Unlike a Senior Solutions Engineer a Solution Architect is required to fully own at least one innovation from design, development and delivery within a single calendar year while also leading at least one unassisted Major account (having a deployment rollout over 10,000 hosts nationally or internationally). A Solution Architect will also own at least one Lab Environment and Initiative along with all the documented design and best practices for the environment.
