The Service Catalog team not only maintains and builds on the Service Catalog, Datadog APM’s primary UI, but is building an entirely new product called IDP (Internal Developer Portal). This new offering ties together disparate experiences across the Datadog platform, providing Datadog users with new ways to understand and interact with their infrastructure and introducing new types of users to Datadog as a whole. 

We are looking for a hands-on technical leader to innovate on our existing Service Catalog and deliver Datadog’s new IDP product. You will lead a team of junior and senior engineers focused on full stack application development, using Go, React, and Kafka.

With Service Catalog and IDP bringing together data from all across Datadog, you will have the opportunity to expand your business, product, and stakeholder management skills, and develop the core skills necessary for success as a leader in engineering organizations.

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: 

• Manage and grow the engineering team: developing their skills and supporting their careers
• Help define priorities and build out the roadmap in partnership with your team, product manager, and stakeholders
• Promote a culture of collaboration and cross-team work across Datadog, encouraging other products to incorporate Service Catalog and IDP into their functionality
• Broadly communicate team health, productivity, and wins to senior leaders
• Own the full development lifecycle and operations of our systems
• Be technically involved with the team: contributing to architectural discussions, reviewing RFCs and pull requests, and sometimes contributing code yourself
  
  

Who You Are: 

• You have management experience and are passionate about building a great team culture.
• You have experience working in an environment with a high bar for reliability and security (e.g., managing on-call for a team, operating live services, having the team write RFCs).
• You have experience with backend languages such as Go, Python
• You have experience communicating and collaborating with other teams and stakeholders.
• You have experience with the product lifecycle and enjoy working across product and organizational boundaries.
• You have built and maintained systems at scale.
• You have a BS/MS/PhD in a Computer Science, Engineering or related scientific field or equivalent professional experience

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.
