Your role at Dynatrace
As Team Captain , you’ll lead a team of 10 engineers building the foundations that make Dynatrace’s Agent easy to adopt and safe to run at scale: installation, lifecycle management, health diagnostics , and upgrades across enterprise environments.
This is a leadership role for someone who can set direction, coach strong engineers, and stay technically credible in modern C++ , because the hard problems live where reliability, OS internals, and real-world customer environments collide.
What you’ll do
Lead and grow a high-performing engineering team (~10 people): alignment, coaching, feedback, hiring input, and delivery ownership.
Own the end-to-end reliability of Agent installation and deployment components, including:
Installers for Windows, Linux, and AIX
An installation health check tool used to troubleshoot production issues
An automatic update component that safely installs new agent versions
Container images for container platforms (e.g., Kubernetes / OpenShift) (nice to have experience, not required)
Drive technical strategy and execution : architecture decisions, prioritization, technical debt management, and long-term maintainability.
Partner with adjacent teams (Agent engineering, release/tooling, support) to ensure the installer and update experience is predictable, diagnosable, and customer-proof .
What will help you succeed
Expert-level C++ skills with strong engineering fundamentals (performance, reliability, debugging, clean design).
Experience leading teams in a way that improves both delivery outcomes and developer growth (clear expectations, thoughtful feedback, healthy standards).
Comfort operating close to the OS: installation workflows, services/daemons, process lifecycle, permissions, upgrades/rollback, and “it only fails in production” edge cases.
A pragmatic mindset: you can balance robustness, security, and user experience without gold-plating.
Nice to have: familiarity with Kubernetes/OpenShift and container image distribution/operations.
Why you will love being a Dynatracer
A team where “Senior” actually means something, your peers are experienced, opinionated, and fun to collaborate with.
Problems with real-world constraints: heterogenous environments, strict enterprise policies, and reliability requirements that don’t care about best intentions.
Ownership of critical components that directly influence customer success: if install, update, and diagnostics are great, everything else gets easier.
