We are building the monitoring and security platform for developers, IT ops teams and business users in the cloud age.
The Role

We are looking for a Senior Engineer to help us take REDAPL, our Referential Data Platform, to the next level.

 

REDAPL is Datadog's main platform for tracking our customers' infrastructure resources and relationships. The platform enables products where customers can understand, keep track of, and gain insights into their infrastructure related to performance, cost, security, and more.

 

Several Datadog products use REDAPL today (for example, Cloud Security Posture Management , Resource Catalog , Cloud Cost Management , and Service Catalog ) and several more are in various stages of development. Ingest and query volumes are rapidly increasing across the platform.

 

As a Senior Engineer, you will drive and collaborate on projects both inside and outside the platform. You can expect to contribute to key technical decisions relating to our data ingestion, processing, and query pipelines.

 

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

 

What You'll Do:

  • Contribute to design and drive high-priority, high-visibility projects to increase the platform's value, resilience, and scalability across multiple teams
  • Lead and guide other engineers through architectural platform decisions
  • Identify potential system risks and trends in reliability and design solutions to address them
  • Provide input on prioritizing engineering-led initiatives in short- and long-term planning and roadmaps
  • Collaborate with internal product teams to understand their requirements and how we plan for their product growth as they integrate and depend on REDAPL

 

Who You Are:

  • You have contributed to initiatives in a platform or infrastructure-focused environment for several years
  • You have led impactful technical initiatives in an environment where performance, cost efficiency, ease of use, and resilience/operability are first-order concerns
  • You have significant back-end programming experience and have built, and operated distributed systems to solve problems at a high scale
  • You have worked extensively with multiple types of data stores
  • You enjoy mentoring and coaching other engineers to become even stronger
  • 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. 

 

Benefits and Growth:

  • Product training to develop an in-depth understanding of our product and space
  • Continuous career development and pathing opportunities for internal mobility 
  • Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking 
  • An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups)
  • New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan
  • Free global mental health benefit through Spring Health 
  • Generous global benefits

 

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