We help organizations operate, secure, and modernize complex environments by unifying infrastructure, networking, data, security, automation, and observability under a single, integrated operating model. Our work focuses on helping customers reduce operational friction, improve resilience, and make better, faster decisions as their environments evolve. Arctiq builds on decades of industry expertise and a customer-centric ethos to deliver exceptional value to clients across diverse industries.\nPosition Overview:\nIn this role, you will support one of Arctiq’s clients in building an SRE Center of Excellence (CoE), working alongside other SRE leaders to establish standards, release discipline, and a consistent operating model across application teams.\nWith Dynatrace already in place, the focus is on improving application reliability throughout the release lifecycle. You will define reliability standards, embed them into pipelines and Dynatrace, and work with teams through release and on-call. The SRE team will own SLOs, production readiness, release gates, reliability practices, and incident follow-through, while the Observability CoE and Platform teams continue to own observability standards and agent deployment.\nThis is a 6-9 months contract opportunity (with potential extension).\nResponsibilities:\nSit with two or three application teams in a wave. Leave behind templates they can run without you: tags, a small set of service-level objectives, synthetics, and a dashboard.\nStart from a user journey (for example, sign-in through account summary), not from CPU. Choose a few service-level indicators, set a target and a time window, and track the error budget.\nBuild those objectives in Dynatrace and keep them as code, so non-production and production stay in step. Show compliance, burn rate, and status on a view an owner and an executive can both read.\nPage on error-budget burn, not on every latency spike. Route alerts through the existing Dynatrace to ServiceNow path, with a runbook link in the payload.\nPut production readiness in the delivery pipeline: a change is not ready for production until the synthetic passes, the reliability baseline has not regressed, and rollback has been tried. Prefer a blue-green release so the previous version can take traffic back.\nReport the wave with DORA: how often the team ships, how long a change takes, how often it fails, and how fast it is restored. Tie that report to the error budget, not to a tool count.\nJoin the on-call rotation for the applications you embed with. During an incident, use Dynatrace and ServiceNow to find which journey is burning budget and which dependency is involved.\nAfter a breach, run a blameless review and turn the outcome into a runbook or a backlog item. Do not leave the lesson in a slide.\nExplain status in plain language: what was promised, what shipped, what is blocked, and what the next milestone is. App owners and leadership should not need a Dynatrace specialist to understand the update.\nLead the Center of Excellence with the other SRE leaders: one golden path, one set of standards, one way a wave is judged. Then carry that into the teams you embed with. Set the reliability bar, train a champion on each team, and hold the error-budget review when a target is missed. You do not wait to be told the next step.\nWhat Success Looks Like:\nThis work is delivered in defined waves, with clear outcomes and ownership.\nFirst 90 Days\nEstablish one production-ready “golden path” for a critical application, including the user journey, SLOs, Dynatrace visibility, ServiceNow alerting, and pipeline release checks.\nEach Wave\nEnable application teams to independently promote changes using the established SRE framework and templates.\nMonthly\nReview error budgets and SLO performance with application owners.\nReport SLO compliance alongside key DORA metrics, including deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and time to restore.\nDefinition of Done\nA wave is complete when the application team can measure whether the user journey is meeting its reliability target and safely roll back a failed release, not simply when a dashboard is in place.\nRequirements:\nStrong SRE and reliability engineering experience, including SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, production readiness, and DORA metrics.\nHands-on Dynatrace experience, including RUM, services, synthetics, SLOs, alerting, dashboards, and distributed tracing.\nStrong understanding of CI/CD, GitLab or similar tools, Infrastructure as Code, release controls, and automated reliability checks.\nExperience with Kubernetes, APIs, client-server architectures, and blue-green or similar deployment strategies.\nStrong knowledge of change management, incident response, on-call practices, ServiceNow, and production troubleshooting.\nExperience embedding reliability practices throughout the software delivery lifecycle, from development through production.\nProven ability to lead engineers or SRE practices, establish standards, and drive adoption across application teams.\nStrong communication skills with the ability to work across engineering, application owners, and business stakeholders.\nAn outcome-focused approach with experience managing clear milestones, deliverables, ownership, and timelines.\nWhat this role doesn't own:\nInstalling OneAgent, RUM, or ActiveGate. Platform owns installs.\nServiceNow CMDB build.\nCopying an existing Kibana or Splunk estate into Dynatrace one-for-one. New reliability work is a short list of journeys and objectives.\nFeature delivery. Application teams ship the product. The SRE makes the release safe to ship.\nArctiq is an equal opportunity employer. If you need any accommodations or adjustments throughout the interview process and beyond, please let us know. We celebrate our inclusive work environment and welcome members of all backgrounds and perspectives to apply.\nWe thank you for your interest in joining the Arctiq team!
