We're looking for an Engineering Manager to join us in taking a proactive, highly scalable, and data-centric approach to enabling a safe and trustworthy experience for the users of our rapidly growing and increasingly interactive platform. You'll lead a team charged with protecting against threats to our users, platform abuse, and other potentially risky and unwanted behaviors on our platform.

Our team covers a broad range of trust and safety related topics from threat detection, security research, engineering, incident response, data science, user engagement, privacy, and bridging gaps between security and the broader Datadog business. You will bring expertise in a few of these areas.

You'll manage a growing security team at an ideal time for making a big impact. The product is seeing very high growth, with the platform becoming more interactive and new products and features developed regularly.

  • Drive the technical roadmap in collaboration with your team, product management, and other engineering teams to align our work with company-wide security objectives.

  • Take a pragmatic, risk-based approach to complex technical problems and work with your team to produce well-defined and actionable plans.

  • Balance your time between management, and hands-on technical work.

  • Participate in Datadog's incident response efforts.

  • Have a direct impact on users and the overall trust of our platform.

Who You Are:

  • Experienced managing an engineering team distributed across multiple timezones.

  • Fluent in one or more modern coding languages (Python, Go, JavaScript, etc.).

  • Familiar with product workflows, and building security into the user experience.

  • An excellent communicator and collaborator, able to work effectively through complex technical problems with a diverse group of stakeholders.

  • Comfortable working in a fast paced, high growth environment, and able to adapt strategies and solutions in response to emerging challenges and opportunities.

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.
