As Datadog builds more and more products integrated together, they all flow eventually in the Alerting platform, they all have their own failure modes and it’s a challenge to build a reliable platform on top of all of these different pipelines. Everything has to be built with robustness in mind.

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.

What You’ll Do: 

• Debug and solve challenging cross-systems issues in production
• Remove scaling bottlenecks in critical services
• Write a significant amount of code, lead architectural decisions for new and existing services
• Run a lightweight agile process to pace and track what we work on and deliver high quality work

Who You Are: 

• You have been building applications for some years and know the systems you’ve worked on from top to bottom
• You have architected, built, and operated distributed systems to solve problems at high scale
• You've worked at high scale with systems like Elasticsearch, Cassandra, Kafka
• You want to work in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment to build a brand new product

Bonus Points:

• You’ve built a non-trivial application from scratch that sees significant user traffic
• You've worked at high scale with systems like Elasticsearch, Cassandra, Kafka
• You have significant experience with Go
• You have deep experience with observability products

Datadog values people from all walks of life. We understand not everyone will meet all the above qualifications on day one. That's okay. If you’re passionate about technology and want to grow your skills, we encourage you to apply.
