Senior Platform Security Engineer

As a Senior Security Engineer focused on Datadog’s Cloud SIEM product, you will help shape the future of security operations by transforming real-world security expertise into scalable detection, investigation, and response capabilities. You will develop high-impact threat detection content, improve AI-assisted security workflows, and help defenders identify and respond to threats across cloud-native and enterprise environments. Working closely with Product, Engineering, and Security Research teams, you will influence the evolution of Datadog Security products while advancing detection coverage across emerging technologies and attack surfaces. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to open source initiatives, publish security research, and help define the next generation of agentic security operations capabilities. 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: Research attacker techniques, defensive strategies, and emerging threats, translating findings into scalable security capabilities that protect customers at cloud scale. Design and improve AI-powered investigation, threat hunting, and response workflows that support Datadog’s agentic SOC capabilities. Own the lifecycle of threat detections and automated security workflows, from research and design through deployment, measurement, and continuous improvement. Develop high-fidelity detection content across cloud platforms, SaaS applications, identity systems, endpoints, networks, and other modern attack surfaces. Partner with Product, Engineering, Security Research, and customers to influence roadmap decisions and improve security outcomes across the platform. Mentor security engineers and drive improvements through automation, tooling, rapid prototyping, and data-driven optimization. Who Yo

About Datadog We're on a mission to build the best platform in the world for engineers to understand and scale their systems, applications, and teams. We operate at high scale with trillions of data points per day, enabling seamless collaboration and problem-solving among Dev, Ops, and Security teams for tens of thousands of companies globally. Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way. The Team The Datadog Security Libraries team owns the customer-side integrations behind our run-time security products App & API Protection , Workload Protection , and Code Security . Our libraries let customers automatically manage application security risk with continuous, real-time monitoring of vulnerabilities and threats against their web applications, serverless applications, and APIs, in production. Automatically integrated with Application Performance Monitoring (APM) distributed tracing and code-level context, our software empowers development, operations, and security teams to build and run secure applications. As a polyglot team we ship and maintain the security capabilities of Datadog's tracing libraries across .NET , Java , Go , Node.js , Python , Ruby , and PHP , on top of a shared C++ core and a set of HTTP proxy integrations (primarily Envoy, NGINX, and HAProxy). Our code runs inside thousands of production applications around the world. Recent work spans exploit prevention (RASP) and WAF detections, API Security, code security (IAST and SCA), and AI-assisted ("agentic") onboarding, always measured by real product outcomes and operational telemetry. The Opportunity We're looking for a senior, polyglot engineer to contribute across several of our security libraries, with .NET or Java expertise. You'll design and build security integrations and detection features, take them from prototype to production-hardened, and own them operationally as they instrument thousands of applications. As a se

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us take REDAPL, our Referential Data Platform, to the next level. REDAPL is Datadog's main platform for tracking our customers' infrastructure resources and relationships. The platform enables products where customers can understand, keep track of, and gain insights into their infrastructure related to performance, cost, security, and more. Many Datadog products use REDAPL today such Cloud Security Posture Management, Resource Catalog, Cloud Cost Management, and Service Catalog and others - REDAPL ingests more than 4.5mil updates/second. As a Senior Engineer, you will drive, lead and collaborate on projects both inside and outside the platform. You can expect to contribute to key technical decisions relating to our data ingestion, processing, and query pipelines. 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: Build a query engine that supports efficient relationship traversals for our most demanding workloads.

The Behavior AI team builds the AI-based anomaly detection behind Datadog's security products. Our models learn what normal looks like across the billions of logs, events, and telemetry records flowing through the platform every second, and they flag the behavior that does not fit, on every record, in real time, at a cost that makes sense at our scale. What we build does not ship to a single feature. The same models power detection across many of Datadog's security products at once, so the work has impact well beyond any one team. Large general-purpose models are too slow and too expensive to run in that path, so we take the opposite approach: small, custom models, designed for high-throughput stream processing and optimized to run cheaply on every record. We are hiring a Senior Applied Scientist to build these models from start to finish. You will contribute to designing the architecture, training at scale, and the optimization work that takes a model from training to running efficiently on production traffic. This optimization requires a deep understanding of the constraints imposed by both the software and the hardware, together with the applied mathematics to work within them: often it comes down to finding a mathematical reformulation that fits those constraints better, and that judgment can decide whether a model reaches production at all. The work involves a number of open questions. How do you obtain most of the quality of a large model from one that is far smaller and cheap enough to run on the full stream? Where is it worth trading exactness for speed, and how do you reason about the error you accept? How do you make a small model's outputs clear enough that the detection engineers and analysts who rely on it can trust what it reports? If these are the problems you want to work on, we would like to hear from you. At Datadog, we place value in our office culture: the relationships and collaboration it builds, and the creativity it bring
