The Observability SRE group is responsible for providing observability across Datadog's entire stack and Engineering organization.
As a leader in the observability product space, Datadog can internally leverage many of its own technologies to provide comprehensive and deep visibility into systems enabling reliability, resiliency, and security initiatives.
Tackling observability at Datadog is a unique challenge due to the vast scale (Datadog collects over a hundred trillion events per day), complexity, and critical importance of our platform, offering the chance to make a significant impact and solve novel technical problems.
At typical tech companies, Observability is mostly seen as a cost whose goal is to drive up engineering productivity, system performance, and reliability.
At Datadog, this function also comes with a unique goal to lead dogfooding initiatives by partnering closely with our product teams and various system owners.
We are looking for a Director of Engineering to move this organization forward.
They will build and operate teams responsible for Datadog's internal observability experience, configuration, and systems with the objective of meeting the company reliability and operational excellence goals.
Their other function will be building deep partnerships across engineering and product management to influence a fast-growing product space.
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: Build the roadmap and direction for Internal Observability at Datadog which impacts how Datadog engineers work every day, build new products, and operate their systems.
Build a sustainable organization that can take on the ownership of critical systems required to deploy and maintain our observability stack, working closely with engineers that build the different pieces of the observability products we use.
Collaborate with Program Managers and Product Managers to lead dogfooding initiatives, advocating for Datadog to be customer 0 and state-of-the-art in leveraging innovative solutions driven from an SRE and Security perspective.
Grow a recently established organization by hiring internally and externally, and build a strong identity for the group.
This is a unique opportunity to have an active role in the observability product space and directly impact Datadog's existing and future business.
