The posting

The Datadog Agent is our flagship open-source project and a critical part of how customers experience Datadog, with hundreds of engineers contributing annually across multiple languages and platforms. As Manager II, Engineering for Datadog Agent SDLC, you will lead the systems, tooling, and developer experience that enable engineers to build, test, secure, and ship software that runs in customer environments. You will guide the evolution of our software development lifecycle as AI coding tools reshape how software is developed, while strengthening our approach to software supply-chain security, build infrastructure, correctness, and performance. This is an opportunity to shape engineering practices for the Agent and establish patterns that can influence other open-source projects across Datadog.

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:

  • Lead the engineering teams responsible for the Agent developer experience, build systems, correctness, and performance benchmarking platforms
  • Own software supply-chain security for a public repository that ships into customer infrastructure - provenance, signing, dependency and contribution review, and the new risks coding agents introduce
  • Evolve the Agent software development lifecycle to support hundreds of contributors while improving developer velocity, reliability, and security
  • Drive AI coding enablement across the Agent ecosystem, adapting development workflows and infrastructure as engineers increasingly work alongside coding agents
  • Guide the evolution of build infrastructure for a complex, multi-language, multi-platform codebase, including the continued adoption and development of modern build systems
  • Hire, mentor, and develop engineering managers and staff engineers across multiple geographies

Who You Are:

  • An engineering leader with experience owning software development lifecycle systems and developer infrastructure
  • First-hand experience with AI coding tools and flows, excited by the opportunities and mindful of challenges created by AI-assisted software development
  • Curious about the art of proving software correct: deterministic simulation testing, fault injection, property-based testing, continuous performance benchmarking
  • Familiar with complex multi-language development environments, CI/CD, remote build execution and caching; experience with Bazel or similar build systems is a plus
  • Experienced leading multiple teams through technical and organizational change while balancing roadmap velocity, reliability, security, and long-term platform investments
  • A proven track record scaling exceptional engineering teams: hiring, coaching, performance management, and building appropriate team structures globally

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:

  • High income earning opportunities based on self performance
  • New hire stock equity (RSU) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
  • Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing
  • Sales training in MEDDIC and Command of the Message
  • Intra-departmental mentor and buddy program for in-house networking
  • An inclusive company culture, opportunity to join our Community Guilds
  • Generous global benefits

Benefits and Growth listed above may vary based on the country of your employment and the nature of your employment with Datadog.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
