Key Responsibilities

• Deploy, configure, and manage APM agents across web, microservices, and API environments

Evaluation-Specific Note for Sourcing

Each profile submitted must include:

1. Valid APM platform certificate (Dynatrace / AppDynamics / New Relic)
2. At least one documented project example covering web, microservices, or API monitoring
