Job Details
Datadog is seeking an experienced Staff Engineer to join our App Platform team. The team is responsible for foundational services that support the App Builder and Workflow Automation products. Today, those services power a catalog of 500+ out-of-the-box actions used to manage queues, jobs or deployments, list or page on-call engineers, scale up container clusters, block IP addresses, and much more.
We're looking to evolve this platform by building capabilities to unlock new use-cases for App Builder, Workflow Automation, and other Datadog products. As a Staff Engineer for the App Platform, you will work with a team of designers, product managers and engineers to introduce the newest platform service: easily store and manage data for apps and workflows.
We are looking for a Staff Engineer that is technical and can go deep to build the right storage solution to enable our customers, but at the same time is focused on the end-to-end user experience. You should be comfortable leading a new effort, understanding our customer needs, and designing a system that can meet customer needs and be performant at scale.
At Datadog, we place value in our office culture - the relationships and collaboration it builds and the creativity it brings to the table. We operate as a hybrid workplace to ensure our Datadogs can create a work-life harmony that best fits them.
What You'll Do:
Who You Are:
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:
Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.
Datadog offers a competitive salary and equity package, and may include variable compensation. Actual compensation is based on factors such as the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience. In addition, Datadog offers a wide range of best in class, comprehensive and inclusive employee benefits for this role including healthcare, dental, parental planning, and mental health benefits, a 401(k) plan and match, paid time off, fitness reimbursements, and a discounted employee stock purchase plan.
The reasonably estimated yearly salary for this role at Datadog is:
$234,000-$300,000 USD
