What It's Like to Work at Dynatrace

What is your role, and what attracted you to Dynatrace? Describe the moment when you knew you’d found the right fit.

I’m a site reliability engineer on the FedRAMP team, responsible for ensuring “Dynatrace for government” runs smoothly for our public-sector customers. I develop internal practices and workflows that empower the SRE team and our support partners to anticipate challenges and remediate them more quickly and securely. 

At a previous job, I had worked with several of Dynatrace’s competitors to implement observability for Kubernetes workloads. Throughout this experience, I quickly realized how inconsistent the user experience could be with those solutions. When I applied to Dynatrace and went through the interview process, I had the chance to try out their platform and was immediately impressed by how easy it was to get started. Unlike other tools, Dynatrace made setting up more specific and tailored monitoring a smooth and efficient experience. On top of that, the passion and curiosity demonstrated by my future team during the interviews made me feel that Dynatrace was where I was meant to take the next step in my career. Working with a team as passionate and curious as I am to deliver one of the world’s best observability experiences made the decision to join an easy one.

What's your favorite part about working at Dynatrace?

It’s hard to name a single favorite part of working at Dynatrace. On the technical side, the highly regulated environment presents unique challenges. While this can make solving daily problems more complex, the sense of accomplishment when finding solutions makes it all the more rewarding in the end. 

As someone who values forward momentum and progress in all things, I find it especially encouraging and motivating to work here, where employees are supported to grow both their skills and career. Dynatrace recognizes your successes, provides feedback to help you improve, and offers many growth opportunities within the organization to foster your own development.

What advice would you give to job seekers looking to join your growing team?

Be curious! Being comfortable in ambiguity, where you’ll have to explore or build new paths to accomplish a goal, is a must on our team. Show us you have a growth mindset, experiment often and ask questions — both literally to your team and figuratively of the systems and challenges you’re working on.
