We are looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to closely partner with product leads and develop advanced data analytics capabilities for our customers. The Infrastructure Monitoring and Log Management teams develop a spectrum of products, ranging from Kubernetes observability and Cloud Cost Management to software that identifies and classifies sensitive data.

These teams are responsible for a large portion of the data we collect on behalf of our customers. You can expect to work closely with senior product managers, product and engineering leadership, and various engineering teams to develop new tools for cross-product data analysis.

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What You’ll Do:

Design and drive high priority, high visibility projects that increase multiple platform’s capabilities and enable new features across multiple teams 

Lead and guide others through architectural decisions for new and existing analytics capabilities that rely on distributed, high-throughput, real-time systems

Collaborate closely with product engineering teams, design partners, and product managers, to quickly iterate on proof of concept capabilities. 

Work with teams to take new capabilities from concept to reality, playing an active role in developing the software and releasing it to customers.

Who You Are:

You have led cross-team initiatives in a product engineering environment, with quick iteration cycles, for 75+ engineers

You have led impactful technical initiatives in an environment where customer experience, performance, reliability, and accuracy are all first-order concerns

You have a data-oriented mindset and care deeply about designing and building valuable and maintainable products and architectures

You have significant full stack experience and have architected, built, and maintained products that operate at high scale
