Director, Engineering - Resources Platform

About Datadog:

We're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale—trillions of data points per day—providing always-on alerting, metrics visualization, logs, and application tracing for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.

The team:

The Resources Platform is a new data platform that allows customers to enrich their logs and traces and understand their infrastructure. This platform will be first of its kind within our company and there is high demand for it internally. While the technical challenges of building this service are exciting, the team is just as excited about the end result - helping to solve customer challenges. This is an opportunity to grow a major platform and have org-wide impact.
