Virtual Interview
In-Person Interview
Your Recruiting Coordinator will reach out about interview availability and schedule your interviews, while your Recruiter will be your main point of contact throughout the process.
Please make sure to have a stable network connection in a quiet and well-lit room.
Your interview will take place over Zoom. This link can be accessed and found in the calendar invite sent over by your Recruiting Coordinator.
You are welcome to use whatever preferred name you feel comfortable with and invite you to also share the pronunciation of your name and/or your pronouns if you’d like.
Don't hesitate to be curious about Datadog employees through our website, Linkedin, Github, and Instagram, to get a grasp about life at Datadog.
Datadog offers candidates the opportunity to come onsite to the Datadog office at any point after the face-to-face interview phase.
If you do come onsite for part of your interview, your recruiter and coordinator will help determine the office location that makes the most sense and make any necessary travel arrangements. There, you will meet your interviewers in person. Many teams have both on-site and remote employees. If an interviewer is remote, part of your on-site interview could still be conducted via Zoom.
Be prepared to check in with the front desk so a recruiting team member can come get you. During your time in the office, you’ll get the opportunity to check out our collaborative workspace during a quick office tour so you can see what it's like to work at Datadog!

You are more than welcome to apply to multiple positions at once. Our recruiting team works collaboratively. If we think you’d be a better fit for another position, we will forward your information to the appropriate recruiter.
When will I hear about next steps?
Your recruiter will be in touch shortly after your interview to inform you of next steps and expected timelines. If you have any questions surrounding next steps, please reach out to your recruiter. Please also be sure to communicate any deadlines you may have on your end.
Does Datadog offer interviews onsite?
Yes! For certain roles and office hubs, we’re excited to once again offer candidates the opportunity to interview onsite to see what Datadog life is truly like. This part of the interview process would occur during the face-to-face portion of the interview, or anytime after. Your recruiter or coordinator will help set up all the logistics.
Will I be required to travel for the interview process?
If you’re traveling for your interview, as discussed with your recruiter, you will book your travel through our partner, TripActions, and will be set up by your recruiter and recruiting coordinator.
Is there a dress code?
We do not have a company dress code at Datadog. We want you to feel comfortable and confident on the day of your interview at Datadog, and so we recommend that you wear whatever makes you feel your best.

(For non-remote positions) If hired, how often will I be required to be in the office?
If hired for a role in one of our offices or co-working locations, you will be expected to come into the office for part of the week per our hybrid model. The amount of days required varies by team, and we encourage our employees to go into office as often as they can. Check out Datadog’s virtual office tours above!
What does the virtual interviewing experience look like?
We utilize Zoom as our virtual interviewing platform so that you can meet with your interviewers face to face. You’ll receive one Zoom link per interview, and you’ll stay on that same Zoom link if you’re meeting with multiple Datadogs during your interview panel. Your recruiter will keep in touch throughout the process to ensure you are comfortable during your interview.
How can I go about requesting reasonable accommodations for my interview?
We strive to make sure everyone feels welcome and is set up for success. Our compliance and recruiting team will be happy to help set up any reasonable accommodations you need throughout the process.
