Application Monitoring Engineer
D2 Technical Services, Springfield, VA +1
About the job
**active ts/sci security clearance required**
We're looking for a Senior Application Monitoring Engineer to own and evolve our application observability strategy. You'll be the go-to expert for keeping critical business applications visible, healthy, and performant — designing monitoring architecture, driving down mean time to detection and resolution, and mentoring other engineers on observability best practices. This is a largely autonomous role for someone who thinks proactively about failure modes and treats monitoring as a product, not an afterthought.
What You'll Do
- Design, build, and maintain end-to-end application performance monitoring using platforms like Dynatrace, instrumenting applications and services so that the right signals surface before customers notice a problem
- Define and maintain SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets in partnership with engineering and product teams, and build dashboards and alerting that reduce noise while catching what actually matters
- When incidents happen, you'll lead or support triage and root-cause analysis, using distributed tracing and APM data to pinpoint issues across complex, distributed systems.
