Your role at Dynatrace

Are you a passionate software engineer ready to shape the future of product development? Do you thrive in a collaborative, international environment and aspire to grow into a product leadership role? If you're excited about observability platforms and want to contribute to a globally leading product, this is your opportunity.

Join one of our Licensing teams, where we’re building the next-generation account and subscription management platform. Our mission is to deliver valuable insights into feature usage for our customers and internal teams, while providing robust controls for managing feature access.

Our engineering culture is built on technical excellence, ownership, and continuous feedback. We live by the principle of "You build it, you run it", and work in agile iterations to deliver high-quality customer value.

In Licensing, our teams own microservices within their domains, hosted in the cloud and orchestrated via Kubernetes. Our tech stack includes the latest versions of Java, Kafka, and Jetty, supported by tools like Jenkins, ArgoCD, Gradle, and Terraform. We store data in MySQL, PostgreSQL, and the Dynatrace data lakehouse, Grail. Automation ensures our libraries are always up to date.

This role is designed for a Senior Software Engineer with a strong technical foundation and a desire to evolve into a Technical Product Owner.
