The Platform Automation org is building highly automated systems that allow Datadog engineers to do their best work with low operability costs and high service reliability.  You can expect to make key technical decisions relating to our next-generation automation tooling to reduce cognitive load, and will drive and collaborate on projects across multiple critical platforms powering Datadog.

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 resilience and scalability across multiple teams 
  • Lead and guide others through architectural decisions for new and existing distributed, high-throughput, real-time systems
  • Identify potential system risks and trends in reliability, and design solutions to address them
  • Provide input on prioritization of engineering-led initiatives in short- and long-term planning and roadmaps
  • Collaborate closely with partner platforms that integrate and depend on the alerting platform to provide critical capabilities to their customers

Who You Are:

  • You have led cross-team initiatives in a platform or infrastructure-focused environment for 2+ years. 
  • You have led impactful technical initiatives in an environment where performance, reliability, and accuracy are first-order concerns
  • You have a reliability-oriented mindset and care deeply about designing and building resilient architectures
  • You have significant back end programming experienced and have architected, built, and operated distributed systems to solve problems at high scale

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.

Benefits and Growth:

  • New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
  • Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing
  • Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking
  • An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups)
  • Access to Inclusion Talks, our internal panel discussions
  • Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+
  • Competitive global benefits

Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.

The reasonably estimated salary for this role at Datadog ranges from $234,000 to $300,000, plus a competitive equity package, and may include variable compensation. Actual compensation is based on factors such as the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience. In addition, Datadog offers a wide range of best in class, comprehensive and inclusive employee benefits for this role including healthcare, dental, parental planning, and mental health benefits, a 401(k) plan and match, paid time off, fitness reimbursements, and a discounted employee stock purchase plan.
