Senior Software Engineer - Static Analysis Engine (Rust)

We are building our open-source static analyzer. You will extend language support for our static analyzer, develop new capabilities and features (such as data flow and multi-files analysis) and ensure that the analyzer integrates well with the Datadog ecosystem (IDE, Git Hooks and CI/CD pipelines).

At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.

What You'll Do:

• Extend language support of our static analyzer
• Develop new features for our static analyzer such as data-flow and multi-files analysis
• Support our static analyzer, fix bugs and address customer feedback
• Support our Software Composition Analysis (SCA) product for CI/CD

Who You Are:

• Software Engineer with a good understanding of programming language, parsers and semantic analysis. You understand how a parser works and you have experience with building your own parser or using parser generators such as tree-sitter or ANTLR. Experience with tree-sitter is a plus
• Have experience with one of more of the following languages: Rust, Go, Java, JavaScript or TypeScript. Experience with Rust is a plus since our static analyzer is implemented with Rust. Bonus if you are familiar with the deno project
• Have a good understanding of our IDE and CI/CD tools work. You understand how to build an IDE plugin and can interact or support a team that integrates your software with an IDE. Bonus if you know how Language Server Protocol (LSP) works
• Familiar with dependency analysis tools. You understand how package managers work and how dependencies impact the software supply chain and constitute an attack vector
• Have bias for action. You like to get stuff done, ship high quality code quickly and iterate
• You have a BS/MS/PhD in a Computer Science, Engineering or related scientific field or equivalent experience
