Cloud Solutions Architect (Pre-Sales)

Your role at Dynatrace

What’s the role?

The Cloud Solutions Architect — Hyperscaler Technical Alliances is an individual contributor role on the Hyperscaler Tech Team. This role serves as the technical sales bridge between Dynatrace and one or more strategic hyperscaler partners (AWS, Microsoft Azure, and/or Google Cloud), driving joint solution strategy, integration advocacy, and cross-functional alignment across product, marketing, and field (sales) organizations.

Unlike a traditional field-facing Solutions Engineer, this role does not participate in direct sales execution—there are no account pairings, prospect demos, or proof-of-concept engagements. Instead, the Cloud Solution Architect operates as a strategic liaison: identifying high-value joint use cases, developing reference architectures and technical narratives, influencing product roadmap priorities based on partner ecosystem trends, and enabling field teams to articulate the Dynatrace-plus-hyperscaler value proposition independently.

The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise in cloud-native architectures and observability with the interpersonal, writing, and strategic thinking skills required to build and sustain productive relationships with hyperscaler partner engineering, product, and go-to-market teams.

Key Responsibilities

Hyperscaler Partner Technical Engagement

• Own and cultivate the day-to-day technical relationship with assigned hyperscaler partner engineering, solutions architecture, and product teams

Joint Solution Development and Technical Narrative

• Discover, define, and articulate joint solution narratives that connect Dynatrace capabilities to hyperscaler services—translating technical integrations into compelling use cases aligned to customer pain points and joint GTM priorities

Product Roadmap Influence and Integration Advocacy

• Serve as the primary conduit between hyperscaler partner ecosystem trends and Dynatrace product management, providing informed input on integration priorities, feature gaps, and emerging platform capabilities

Cross-Functional Enablement and GTM Support

• Enable internal field teams (Solutions Engineers, Account Executives, partner managers) to independently articulate the Dynatrace-plus-hyperscaler value proposition through training, documentation, and ongoing support

Thought Leadership and Community Presence

• Author or contribute to customer-facing and partner-facing publications including blog posts, solution guides, whitepapers, and conference presentations
