Requirements

You must broadly understand the various types of software projects that are built, tested, and packaged with our tools.

The changes we make impact the velocity of hundreds of engineers.

We help Datadog engineers to use the tools that we develop, and continuously improve their usability, so they don’t need our help the next time.

Ideally, you have experience working with a large codebase.

Datadog values people from all walks of life.

Compensation & Benefits

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+

Responsibilities

Invent build, test and packaging tools that are simpler and more reliable to use.

Push performance and cost efficiency at scale, raising cache hit rates and cutting CI times and compute spend across millions of targets.

Treat CI like SREs treat prod, making sure our pipelines are green and fast.

Prepare, run, and finish complex migrations.

Contribute back to the Bazel ecosystem, upstreaming fixes and shaping features we depend on.
