  • Effectively manage and harmonize the output of distributed teams, ensuring clear communication, goal alignment, and a unified engineering standard across all projects.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to oversee the technical roadmap, resource allocation, and execution across multiple concurrent engineering projects, ensuring delivery meets quality, scale, and timeline targets.
  • Partner with architects and Principal Engineers to champion technical excellence, ensuring engineering solutions align with Dynatrace’s modern, cloud-native technology stack.
  • Proactively drive recruiting strategy, hiring, and onboarding of top-tier engineering talent to scale teams effectively and efficiently.
