Bindplane is the Swiss Army knife inside Dynatrace: small, focused, and built to move fast. We're creating the first truly unified OpenTelemetry-based observability pipeline, giving enterprises a single place to collect, process, and route telemetry data across complex environments.
This role combines the speed, ownership, and creative freedom of a startup with the scale, resources, and expertise of Dynatrace. You'll benefit from mature design systems, user research capabilities, and a strong Design & Experience community while helping shape the future of observability.
We're looking for a designer who codes, a product designer with strong frontend engineering skills who thrives at the intersection of UX and development.
As a Senior Product Experience Designer, you'll own the end-to-end experience for a product domain, from user research and concept development through implementation in React. You'll transform complex technical workflows into intuitive, production-ready experiences that deliver value to customers.
