Role overview
Rackspace Technology is a multicloud solutions expert providing end-to-end solutions across applications, data, and security. They are seeking a professional to leverage Dynatrace and automation technologies to reduce operational toil and implement AIOps-driven investigation and remediation.
Responsibilities
- Analyze historical tickets and operational data to identify high-volume, repetitive and manual operational toil.
- Assess automation opportunities based on frequency, complexity, repeatability, risk and business impact.
- Build an automation opportunity backlog and quantify potential effort/toil reduction.
- Identify whether each use case is best addressed through rules, scripts, workflow automation, AI-assisted recommendations or agentic automation.
- Use Dynatrace telemetry, events, problems and service dependencies to identify opportunities for AIOps-driven investigation and remediation.
- Develop automation scripts and workflows using Python, PowerShell, Bash, REST APIs and existing client tools.
- Build integrations between Dynatrace and existing client platforms such as ServiceNow, cloud platforms, CI/CD, monitoring and collaboration tools.
- Design and implement human-gated remediation for production operations.
- Implement recovery validation covering technical health, service/SLO health and business transaction validation.
- Develop reusable automation components and runbooks rather than one-off scripts.
- Support AIOps use cases such as event correlation, incident enrichment, probable-cause analysis, recommendation and controlled remediation.
- Measure automation outcomes including toil reduction, automation coverage, MTTR improvement and recurring-incident reduction.
- Work closely with SRE/AIOps architects and operations teams to convert identified opportunities into PDP2 Thin MVP use cases and production-ready automation.

- Experience converting identified opportunities into automation scripts, workflows, runbooks and API-based integrations.
- Hands-on experience integrating monitoring events with automation/remediation workflows.
- Experience working with ServiceNow or another ITSM platform.
- Experience building automation with appropriate validation, error handling, logging, rollback and audit controls.
