The Team: 

Datadog’s Video team creates engaging video content about our products and the value they bring to our customers. We are a close-knit group of editors, producers, and animators who strive to create content with a high production value that is informative, accurate, and meaningful. As part of the Marketing department, we work collaboratively within our team—but also collaborate regularly with other teams across the company such as the Product, Design, Recruiting, and Writing teams. Our videos help tell the Datadog story to a wider audience, and we are always looking to expand our video library into new areas.

The Opportunity: 

Are you looking to combine your videography and video editing skills with your love of learning about new technologies? Are you excited to film and edit videos that will help explain complex topics to our audience? Are you interested in creating polished and engaging content, and then seeing how it helps drive the company and the business forward? If so, we'd love to talk to you.

We are expanding the Video team at Datadog, the leading service for cloud-scale monitoring and security. Our team of video producers and motion graphics animators creates all the video content for our website, events and marketing campaigns. We produce, film, storyboard, edit, design, and animate a wide variety of projects such as video testimonials, announcement videos, product explainers, how-to videos, and video ads.
