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 opportunity:
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to expand and lead our teams building our Alerting, SLOs, and Incident Management products.

It's built on top of the Datadog platform and high-scale open source frameworks and languages: Kafka, Go, Python, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes.
You’ll join at an ideal time to make a big impact. We just announced our Incident Management Application and it’s seeing great traction from our customers and there are many new features to build.

- Work with other managers across the world to deliver cross-cutting projects (e.g. running in multiple regions and clouds)
- Scale the systems to accommodate hyper growth
