As part of the Technical Escalation Engineering (TEE) team, you’ll operate at the heart of Datadog’s ecosystem, working at the intersection of Technical Solutions, Engineering, Product, and our Customers. Every challenge you take on will directly impact the performance, scalability, and success of both our clients and our platform. You’ll be in an environment that moves fast, challenges you daily, and rewards curiosity, ownership, and technical excellence.
This is your chance to shape the future of observability and security, driving innovation, mentoring teams, and influencing product direction while witnessing your expertise make an immediate and lasting impact.
