About Datadog:

We're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams.  We operate at high scale—trillions of data points per day—providing always-on alerting, metrics visualization, logs, and application tracing for tens of thousands of companies. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.


The team:

How do you provide data to a real-time service that monitors hundreds of thousands of servers 24 hours a day? How do you ensure data correctness in the face of infrastructure failures and network partitions, in a high-volume, low-latency environment? What should the infrastructure look like when data may double in size or in throughput on short notice? If you think you have the answers, join us on the Global Data Platform team and help us ensure that we're providing reliable data, at scale, and quickly.


Locations:

We are a globally distributed team with US Offices in New York (HQ), Boston, Denver, San Francisco, and South Bay and International Offices in Paris, Dublin, London, Madrid, the Netherlands, and Singapore. About 33% of our engineering team are remote.


Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand that not everyone will meet these requirements on day one. If you’re passionate about reliability engineering and want to grow these skills but don’t meet all of these qualifications, we encourage you to apply.


You will:

  • Keep our datastores reliable, available and fast.
  • Respond to, investigate and fix issues, whether it’s deep in the Database code or in the client application.
  • Build tooling to minimize customer-facing downtime, and scale up resources on short notice
  • Protect and ensure the consistency of customer data.
  • Work with developers to design data models, and choose the correct datastores, to support orders of magnitude more customer data and traffic.


Requirements:

  • You have a BS/MS/PhD in a scientific field or equivalent experience
  • You have a track record as an engineer in the operations of a large site
  • You value correctness and efficiency; you leave no stone unturned when diagnosing production issues
  • You handle infrastructure with code because automation lets you focus on the more difficult and rewarding problems
  • You have production experience with distributed datastores, e.g. zookeeper, cassandra, postgres, kafka, elasticsearch, redis


Bonus points:

  • You have created tooling for, or submitted contributions to, an open-source data store
  • You are fully fluent in python, ruby or go

An Insider's view of Datadog

What's something quirky about your company?

Although I work on a frontend team, I enjoy tuning into both wins and learnings from all parts of the stack across the company. There are so many places to learn in addition to my main job, from email digests of "performance wins" to lunch and learn talks on technical considerations when building an emulator for classic video game consoles.

Cameron

Software Engineering

What does your typical day look like?

My day starts with checking out new feature releases, reading team threads & reviewing my calendar. Around midday I hit my stride writing up investigative notes & follow up on each case I tackle. I also help my teammates in their investigations! My goal for the day is ensuring all cases are accounted for & that I'm always learning something new.

Support Engineering

How does the company support your career growth?

Datadog has supplied me the tools to successfully learn & grow within the company. I'm incessantly challenged & continue to be rewarded for my hard work through multiple promotions in my tenure. I started as a Solutions Engineer, was promoted to a Sales Engineer, and am now embedding with the Product Management team. The opportunities are endless.

Sales Engineering

How do your team's ideas influence the company's direction?

We have a winning product, team and culture. We continue to execute at a high-level as a business. We effectively move into new markets and seize share from competitors at a breakneck pace. While we are a product and engineering driven company, we balance this with a strong sales culture and hunger for new business.

Micah

Director, Enterprise Sales

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I joined Datadog as a Product Manager for a specific part of the platform. I’ve since then grown into a senior role, managing other product managers and owning several parts of the product roadmap, to Director. I’ve been given real growth opportunities, all while feeling supported and encouraged to develop my leadership and product skills.
