Senior Software Engineer (m/f/x) - Hyperscaler & Strategic Partner Integrations (AI)

Your role at DynatraceDynatrace's growth is increasingly tied to deep, co-engineered partnerships with the three hyperscalers and with the IDE and AI-tooling vendors developers actually use day-to-day. Recent integrations show that hyperscalers and IDE providers are no longer just deployment targets but co-development partners. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has become the connective tissue: Dynatrace ships MCP servers so that Claude, Cursor, VS Code, JetBrains, Kiro, and other AI-assisted IDEs can query observability data natively. At the same time, customer workloads are shifting from traditional services to agentic AI systems that need a fundamentally new kind of observability.
This role sits at that intersection. You will build the product code that makes Dynatrace work seamlessly with hyperscaler AI services and with the AI-native IDEs developers use to build on top of them, in close technical collaboration with engineering counterparts at AWS, Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, GitHub, and Cursor.
The work is shipping code — APIs, agents, integrations, MCP servers, IDE extensions, telemetry pipelines — with partner engineers in the room.
What you will do

• Design and build integrations between Dynatrace and hyperscaler AI / observability services
• Build and maintain Dynatrace's Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers so AI assistants and agents can query problems, traces, logs, and Dynatrace Intelligence insights as first-class tools — and contribute upstream to the MCP spec where it matters.
• Co-develop with IDE providers (Anthropic / Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, JetBrains AI, Cursor, Windsurf, AWS Kiro, Gemini CLI) so Dynatrace observability shows up where developers already work — plugins, extensions, slash commands, MCP integrations.
• Co-develop with partner engineering teams at AWS, Microsoft, Google, and IDE vendors — joint design docs, shared backlogs, paired debugging across org boundaries.
• Extend Dynatrace's OneAgent and OpenTelemetry pipelines to capture traces, metrics, and evaluations from agentic AI workloads (tool calls, prompt chains, model latency, hallucination signals).
• Contribute to launch-partner integrations — being one of the first observability providers shipping against a new hyperscaler or IDE-vendor service requires fast iteration against pre-GA APIs.
• Own a slice of the partner-facing SDK, MCP server, or IDE-extension surface end-to-end: code, tests, docs, marketplace listing, on-call.
• Represent Dynatrace engineering in technical reviews with partners; translate Dynatrace Intelligence and causal-AI capabilities into terms partner engineers care about.
• Mentor other engineers and raise the bar on how the team works across org boundaries.

What will help you succeed

Engineering foundation

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production backend systems.
• Strong proficiency in at least one of Java, Go, Python, or TypeScript; able to ramp on a second within a quarter.
• Designed and shipped public-facing or partner-facing APIs (REST and / or gRPC), including versioning, backwards compatibility, and SDK ergonomics.

Hyperscaler depth (at least one)

• Hands-on, production-grade experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP — building against native SDKs, not just deploying to VMs.
• Concrete familiarity with the partner-relevant surface of that cloud:

AWS: Bedrock / AgentCore, Lambda, EKS, CloudWatch, AWS Marketplace, Partner Network (APN).

Azure: Azure OpenAI, AKS, Azure Monitor, SRE Agent, Azure Marketplace, MISA.

GCP: Vertex AI / Gemini, GKE, Cloud Operations, Google Cloud Marketplace, Partner Advantage.

Observability and AI workloads

• Working knowledge of observability primitives: metrics, logs, distributed tracing, OpenTelemetry instrumentation.
• Understanding of how to instrument LLM and agentic-AI workloads: prompt / response capture, token usage, tool-call traces, evaluation signals, latency and cost attribution.
• Comfortable reasoning about SLOs, error budgets, and incident response in customer-facing systems.

MCP and IDE-provider integration

• Practical experience with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — building MCP servers, clients, or both. Comfortable with stdio and HTTP transports, tool / resource / prompt primitives, auth, and the realities of running MCP in production.
• Built at least one IDE extension, plugin, or integration that real developers used — for VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Kiro, or similar.
• Understands the AI-assisted developer workflow end-to-end: how agents discover tools, how context windows fill up, how tool outputs get re-ranked, why a well-designed tool schema matters more than a clever prompt.
• Can reason about trade-offs of agent-facing API design vs. human-facing API design (token cost, determinism, error surfacing, idempotency).
