Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.

The team:

The Revenue Data Engineering Teams create the data processing pipelines that measure our customers’ usage across all Datadog products, providing vital insights to a broad variety of users and internal stakeholders. This group of teams is at the leading edge of any new product we release.

The opportunity:

You will:

•  Build distributed, high-volume data pipelines that power this core platform
•  Use Spark, Luigi and other open-source technologies
•  Work across the stack, moving fluidly between programming languages: Scala, Python and more
•  Join a tightly knit team solving hard problems the right way
•  Own meaningful parts of our processing infrastructure, have an impact, grow with the company

 You are:

•  An engineer with a BS/MS/PhD in a scientific field or have equivalent experience
•  Experienced in building and operating data pipelines for real customers in production systems
•  Fluent in several programming languages (JVM & otherwise)
•  Skilled in wrangling huge amounts of data and enjoy exploring new data sets
•  Someone who values code simplicity and performance
•  Interested in working in a fast-paced, high growth startup environment that respects its engineers and customers

Bonus points:

•  You are deeply familiar with Spark, Hadoop and similar frameworks
