Manager
About the role
Datadog is seeking a hands-on technical leader to grow its platform. You will guide a diverse engineering team, drive strategic discussions, and balance stakeholder requests with long-term platform investments. You will also run lightweight processes to ensure high-quality, iterative delivery.
The role emphasizes collaboration with product teams, mentorship, and a bias for action in a fast-growing environment where AI readiness and developer focus are key priorities.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
