Role
Who you are
- Leadership: 5+ years of experience managing high-performance technical teams, with a total of 10+ years in Presales, DevOps, SRE
- Technical Authority: CKA/CKAD certification preferred. Expert knowledge of container runtimes, ingress controllers, and service mesh architectures
- Automation Mastery: Proficiency in Terraform, Helm, and YAML. Ability to navigate Go, Java, or Node.js to bridge the gap between infrastructure and application teams
- Executive Presence: Proven ability to translate technical metrics (MTTR, Deployment Frequency) into executive outcomes (TCO, Revenue Protection)
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Engineering; MBA or equivalent leadership experience is a plus
What the job involves
- Focus: Kubernetes Scale, SRE Transformation, and Global GTM Strategy Leadership: Direct Management of a High-Performance Specialist Team
- As the Senior Director of Cloud Native Specialists, you will be the primary architect of Dynatrace’s global approach to the modern, containerized enterprise. This leadership mandate sits at the intersection of Platform Engineering, Kubernetes (K8s), and Multi-cloud strategy
- Beyond serving as a visionary for the technical vanguard, you will recruit, mentor, and manage a elite team of Cloud Native Specialists
- You will be responsible for their professional development and for scaling their impact across our Global Sales and Customer Success organizations, ensuring we navigate the complexities of "Day-2" operations for the world's largest ephemeral architectures
- 1. Team Leadership & People Management
- Manage a high-impact team of domain experts, providing technical mentorship, resource allocation, and performance management
- Foster a culture of excellence, ensuring your team stays at the absolute forefront of the CNCF landscape (eBPF, Service Mesh, Serverless)
- Coordinate team deployments for high-stakes Proof of Concepts (POCs) and executive-level "Cloud Native Maturity" workshops
- 2. Strategic Domain Authority
- Serve as the global voice on Kubernetes ecosystems (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift) and the OpenTelemetry (OTel) roadmap
- Define the competitive narrative that positions Dynatrace as the production-grade extension of open-source telemetry
- Champion the "No-Instrumentation" advantage, proving how automation eliminates the operational toil of sidecars and manual code changes
- 3. Global GTM & Execution
- Develop "Cloud-Native ROI" models to quantify the reduction of the "Kubernetes Tax"—the hidden operational cost of managing K8s at scale
- Partner with Sales Leadership to displace niche monitoring tools by proving the business value for automated root cause analysis
- Influence the product roadmap by aggregating field insights from your team to drive the next generation of AI-powered observability
- 4. SRE & Platform Advocacy
- Advise Global 2000 Platform Teams on integrating observability into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, GitHub Actions) and GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Flux)
- Standardize "Observability-as-Code" strategies using Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane
- Help customers bridge the gap between technical metrics and business revenue through Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and FinOps alignment
