The AWP Safety IT Internship Program immerses you in provides a hands‑on, high‑impact learning experience designed for early‑career professionals who want to build a future in IT Site Reliability Engineering. In this role, you won't just be watching application performance monitoring dashboards; you will be building the observability pipelines that keep our infrastructure and applications resilient, highly available, and robust. You will work at the intersection of Software Engineering and Systems Operations, using Dynatrace as your primary lens to diagnose performance bottlenecks and automate "toil" out of existence.

While this internship is primarily project‑based and can be remote depending on location, interns will also have opportunities to collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to understand how technical insights drive real‑world business outcomes.

What You’ll Experience

• Full‑Stack Observability: Trace requests from browser to code to database.
• Incident Lifecycle: Join blameless post‑mortems and help implement “never‑twice” fixes.
• AIOps: Use Dynatrace’s predictive AI to find “the needle in the haystack” before an outage occurs.
• Scalable Infrastructure: How to manage monitoring for thousands of hosts without manual intervention.

Professional & Team‑Building Activities

• Attend workshops, panels, and intern networking events.
• Participate in our “Journey‑to‑the‑Job” series to hear from seasoned executives, sharing their diverse career paths within the organization.

This 10-week internship places interns at the center of our IT operations, offering meaningful work with real organizational impact. You’ll thrive if you have a passion for “measuring everything”. You’ll collaborate closely with Platform, AppDev, and Security teams on production‑grade outcomes for our business.
