The Fabric Gateways team is responsible for building and maintaining a suite of managed proxy fleets that allow developers to focus on building and improving products and services, without being networking experts. We enable Datadog engineers to expose their services to both internal and external customers in a secure, reliable and scalable way without worrying about network interactions in distributed systems.
As our infrastructure grows, our team has also grown significantly and we need a great manager who can help accompany the growth of this young team. If you want to be part of this exciting journey of Datadog in the networking space, this is the best place to be in!
As the Engineering Manager of the Fabric Gateways team, you will manage a team of 5+ software and system engineers, and will work closely with the team and your counterparts from the other infrastructure and platform teams to ensure the availability and scalability of Datadog’s most critical systems.
