This is a high-impact, domain role designed to drive the successful adoption, consumption, and displacement of legacy log tools. You will partner with our Global Sales organization to demonstrate the unique value of the Dynatrace Grail™ data lakehouse, helping customers transition from high-cost, fragmented logging silos to a unified, AI-powered observability platform.
Core Responsibilities
Domain Expertise:
  • Act as the domain "subject matter expert" (SME) for Logs, staying ahead of industry trends like OpenTelemetry (OTel), log pipelines (Cribl/BindPane), and cloud-native logging (CloudWatch/Stackdriver).
  • Articulate the architectural superiority of Dynatrace Grail—specifically how its schema-on-read and index-less storage solve the "cardinality explosion" of modern logs.
Competitive Execution:
  • Partner with Account Executives/SEs to identify and execute displacement plays against legacy incumbents
  • Lead high-stakes Proof of Concepts (POCs) that drive Logs consumption that prove ROI by reducing data ingest costs while increasing troubleshooting speed.
  • Build "Economic Value" models that show customers how to optimize their SaaS consumption and maximize their Dynatrace investment.
Solution Architecture:
  • Expertise in architecting resilient, vendor‑neutral log‑ingestion frameworks utilizing Fluentd, Logstash, and OpenTelemetry Collector pipelines, etc.
  • Help customers navigate complex log-routing scenarios, ensuring high-value data is prioritized for analytics while low-value data is archived cost-effectively.
Consumption Advocacy:
  • Identify "consumption bottlenecks" within existing accounts and proactively provide technical guidance to unlock more log data volume and user adoption.
  • Conduct "Best Practice" workshops focused on log-based alerting, DQL (Dynatrace Query Language) proficiency, and dashboarding.
What will help you succeedMinimum Requirements:
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in - Computer science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5+ years in a domain, specialist, pre-sales, professional services, or SRE role, with at least 3 years specifically focused on Log Management or Big Data analytics
Preferred Requirements:
  • Technical Depth: Advanced proficiency in Query Languages (e.g., Splunk SPL, Kusto QL, SQL, or Lucene).
  • Deep understanding of Log Ingestion pipelines and "Telemetry Pipelines" (Cribl, BindPlane, Vector).
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Serverless logging patterns.
  • Cloud & DevOps: Strong knowledge of AWS, Azure, or GCP logging ecosystems and automation tools like Terraform or Ansible.
  • Business Acumen: Ability to translate "bits and bytes" into "dollars and cents"—explaining how log management impacts MTTR and operational overhead.
  • Hands‑on exposure to modern observability pipelines, including Cribl solutions or OpenTelemetry logging specifications.
  • Familiarity with the Cribl ecosystem or OpenTelemetry logging specs.
  • Experience with scripting (Python, Go, or Bash) for log transformation and data cleanup.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
