Description
Observability Pipelines (OP) is Datadog's on-premise, vendor-agnostic telemetry pipeline product. As an Engineering Manager on the team, you'll own people management and engineering execution for one of OP's core missions, spanning areas like Integrations (ingesting from and routing to the many source and destination systems customers rely on), streaming insights, cost control, or pipeline capabilities, reliability and scalability. You'll partner directly with Product to help shape the roadmap, and work closely with your peer EMs and senior ICs to define how OP operates and grows. This is an opportunity to build your management craft while having real influence over the technical direction of a fast-growing product area.
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:
- Own people management and engineering execution
- Establish a strong operating rhythm for the team
- Drive high standards for on-call rotations and incident response
- Partner with Product on the roadmap, balancing product priorities with technical realities
- Lead, coach, and grow the careers of engineers on your team
Who You Are:
- Experienced managing engineers directly, comfortable owning a team’s operating rhythm end-to-end, from planning through execution and stakeholder communication to incident and on-call ownership
- Have a technical background in distributed systems and data infrastructure
- Have experience with on-premises or customer-installed software concepts
- A product-minded partner to have on the team — you enjoy working with Product on strategy
- Experience with high-performance or Rust-based data pipeline systems
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.
Benefits and Growth:
- New hire stock equity (RSUs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
- Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing
- Intradepartmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking
- An inclusive company culture, ability to join our Community Guilds (Datadog employee resource groups)
- Access to Inclusion Talks, our Internal panel discussions
- Free, global mental health benefits for employees and dependents age 6+
- Competitive global benefits
Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.
