Cloud Engineer - Platform Infrastructure
Your role at Dynatrace
Our team builds and maintains the foundational infrastructure services used across the Dynatrace Platform.
We’re looking for an experienced Cloud Engineer to join our Platform infrastructure team. You will be working with Kubernetes-native services and operators to deliver high availability data infrastructure components - including Kafka, PostgreSQL, Vault, RabbitMQ, Redis, and other critical tools - at scale.
This role is perfect for someone who enjoys developer side Kubernetes work, building Helm charts, building Terraform modules, automating workflows with GitOps, and contributing to operator code when necessary.
Your Responsibilities
- Deploy, operate, and maintain core infrastructure services on Kubernetes (Kafka via Strimzi, PostgreSQL, Vault, RabbitMQ, Redis, ESO, Kyverno).
- Contribute to and debug existing Golang‑based operators (Operator Framework).
- Design and template Helm charts for platform services.
- Automate deployments using CI/CD and GitOps principles (ArgoCD).
- Collaborate with platform teams to provide reliable, scalable infrastructure for Dynatrace products.
- Work with major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP) to ensure resilient service delivery.
- Participate in troubleshooting and incident resolution for infrastructure services.
- Continuously improve service monitoring and observability.
What will help you succeed
Must have:
- Proven experience operating at least one of Kafka, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Cache (Redis, Valkey), or Vault in production.
- Developer‑oriented Kubernetes knowledge (less cluster ops, more application/service integration).
- Scripting/programming expertise in Bash and Go (or another higher‑level language).
- Helm proficiency – creating and templating charts.
- Familiarity with CI/CD and GitOps workflows (ArgoCD).
- Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP (at least one).
- Basic understanding of Kubernetes Operators principles (CRD, Reconciliation) and willingness to contribute to Golang‑based Operators.
Nice to have:
- Terraform/OpenTofu experience (infrastructure currently partly managed this way — migrating towards more operators).
- Monitoring & observability interest/experience.
