Datadog’s Product Engineering teams build the interfaces that customers rely on to observe, monitor, and troubleshoot their systems in real time. As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you’ll lead the development of complex UI features used daily by hundreds of thousands of users across our core observability products. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally to shape the user experience, own architectural decisions, and continuously improve the performance and accessibility of our frontend systems. This is an opportunity to work at scale, influence product direction, and mentor others in a high-ownership, growth-oriented environment.
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.
To give you a quick overview of some of our frontend product focus areas, you can explore the Digital Experience Monitoring suite that includes RUM (improves frontend performance with proactive insights into user behavior), Error Tracking (groups and prioritizes application errors), and Synthetic Monitoring (automatically tests your apps and APIs to catch issues before users do).
