Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way.
The team:
Our Logs Intake team owns the logs collection agent, intake edge services, processing and enrichment that deliver data to the Datadog logs management application. They build, scale, and operate some of the low-latency, high-throughput data systems that power the growth of our business. The systems are built on top of high-scale open source frameworks and languages: Kafka, Go, Java, MongoDB, Akka, Kubernetes.
