Your role at Dynatrace

Join the Quality, Security, and Privacy Team at Dynatrace.

Our team plays a critical role in delivering a high-quality product experience while ensuring our customers' data is safer with us than anywhere else. We achieve this by embedding performance best practices and analysis workflows throughout the software development lifecycle.
We’re looking for Platform Performance Engineers with an AI-first mindset—engineers who don’t just analyze systems, but continuously look for ways to automate, augment, and scale their work using AI and intelligent agents.

What you'll do

• Partner with engineering teams to monitor, analyze, and optimize performance across complex distributed systems.
• Leverage AI tools and agent-based workflows to accelerate root cause analysis, identify patterns, and reduce manual toil.
• Drive consistency and excellence in performance practices by coaching teams and promoting scalable, automated approaches.
• Agentify performance workflows—from regression detection to anomaly analysis—to enable continuous, self-improving systems.
• Integrate automated performance testing and regression detection into CI/CD pipelines.
• Dogfood the Dynatrace platform to uncover performance issues and provide data-driven, actionable insights.
• Contribute to internal tooling, playbooks, and knowledge sharing to help teams resolve issues faster and more autonomously.

What will help you succeed

• Passion for performance optimization, distributed systems, and scalability challenges
• An AI-first mindset: you actively explore how AI can accelerate engineering workflows and reduce manual effort
• Curiosity and drive to automate and rethink how work gets done
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to influence engineering teams
• Experience with Java / Spring Boot / Go is a nice to have
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud-native architectures is a plus
• Experience building or extending automation, tooling, or agents (e.g., scripts, pipelines, AI-assisted workflows) is also a plus
