What You’ll Do

  • Manage a team of software engineers ranging from new grads to senior engineers, focusing on career development, inclusivity, and high impact

  • Work with engineering and product leaders to define well-prioritized OKRs and roadmaps to maximize the team’s impact
  • Share on-call responsibilities with the rest of the team and ensure a culture of operational excellence 
  • Run and optimize team processes, ensuring the successful delivery of high quality work

 

Who You Are

  • You are an excellent leader with strong interpersonal skills, and you have the ability to build and lead high-performing teams, mentoring junior and senior engineers to help them grow their careers
  • You’ve led high-scale customer-facing services where uptime, performance, and correctness are business-critical
  • You have a track record of delivering high-quality software products on schedule and collaborating closely with product management to set the vision and strategy for your projects
  • You are experienced with being on-call, leading incident responses, writing post mortems, and driving remediation efforts
  • You have a BS/MS/PhD in a Computer Science, Engineering or related scientific field or equivalent experience

 

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.
