Simplified
Datadog Application Performance Monitoring (APM) is one of Datadog's premier products. Our business is growing at a healthy clip, the competition is fierce, and the needs of our customers are ever changing. In our world you either innovate or get left behind.
Our SDKs are both the delivery vehicle for APM and the platform on which all of Datadog's service and app based products (e.g. Application Security Management, Profiling, Data Stream Monitoring) are delivered. We believe our SDKs are one of our technical moats and are a key competitive advantage for APM and Datadog more broadly. They're also open-source.
Leading the evolution of our SDKs is a technically demanding and highly collaborative effort. As manager you'll partner with Product Managers to deeply understand our customers and our position within the broader observability ecosystem. You'll work with language experts to deliver cutting-edge observability products across our 9 supported languages, with industry leading performance and a world class developer experience. You'll rethink our SDKs' architecture, APIs, data models, and protocol to meet Datadog's current needs and scale, all while building in the open. And you'll grow your team's capacity by fostering a culture focused on customer needs, continuous learning, and innovation.
We're looking for an Engineering Manager who cares as much about product experience and business value as you do about technical excellence. You must be customer driven and outcome oriented. You understand the trust our customers place in us when they run our code in their applications and your commitment to technical excellence will ensure we maintain that trust.
At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships that it builds, the creativity it brings to the table, and the collaboration of being together. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our employees can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
