Dynatrace is looking for a creative and driven engineer to join our team and make a significant impact on the OpenTelemetry community and the Dynatrace platform. If you thrive on building high-quality software, collaborating with a global community, and working on the cutting edge of technology, we want to hear from you.

Your role:

• Build and maintain high-quality, scalable software using Go (Golang).
• Become a key contributor to the OpenTelemetry project, including the OpenTelemetry Collector and related ecosystem projects.
• Design, implement, and improve components that enhance our OpenTelemetry-based observability solutions.
• Collaborate with engineers and product managers at Dynatrace, as well as the wider OpenTelemetry community, to help drive our strategy.
• Think strategically about the integration of OpenTelemetry and AI within the Dynatrace platform to deliver next-generation observability.
• Work hands-on with Kubernetes and other cloud-native technologies to validate and improve OpenTelemetry integrations.
• Participate in design discussions, conduct and receive thoughtful code reviews, and help create documentation, examples, and guidance for the community and our customers.

We are looking for a senior-level engineer who is not only technically proficient but also a strong collaborator and community advocate. The ideal candidate will bring a blend of deep technical skills and excellent interpersonal abilities.

• Strong Go (Golang) experience building non-trivial systems or components.
• Practical experience with OpenTelemetry or the OpenTelemetry Collector (a strong advantage), as well as an active interest in Open Source (GitHub contributions are a plus).
• Understanding of how metrics, traces, and logs are processed in distributed systems.
• Curiosity and willingness to experiment with new AI-powered tools and developer workflows and apply them pragmatically in a production environment (e.g. LLM-based coding, testing, or troubleshooting workflows).
• Comfortable with Kubernetes and the cloud-native ecosystem.

• A one-product software company creating real value for the largest enterprises and millions of end customers globally, striving for a world where software works perfectly.
• Working with the latest technologies and at the forefront of innovation in tech on scale; but also, in other areas like marketing, design, or research.
• Working models that offer you the flexibility you need, ranging from hybrid options to home ones and in-office work.
• A team that thinks outside the box, welcomes unconventional ideas, and pushes boundaries.
• An environment that fosters innovation, enables creative collaboration, and allows you to grow.
