You’ll shape the future of a business‑critical platform as the technical lead across both product engineering and cloud infrastructure. You’ll modernize a mature .NET application running on AWS today, while steering its evolution toward a cloud‑native, React/Node.js, AI‑enabled architecture. If you enjoy owning architecture end‑to‑end, from backend and frontend through CI/CD, DevOps, and AWS infrastructure, this role gives you real influence at Staff Engineer level and the opportunity to set engineering standards that others follow. You’ll spend your time leading complex .NET and React features, designing scalable AWS infrastructure with Infrastructure as Code, and building automation that makes releases fast, safe, and repeatable. You’ll work on performance, reliability, and modernization in equal measure—fixing what’s slowing the platform down today and designing what it will look like in the next generation. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff) Lead the architecture and development of enterprise .NET services and APIs that power a business‑critical platform. Design and operate AWS infrastructure (using AWS CDK in TypeScript) to support secure, scalable, multi‑environment deployments.

We are looking for a talented engineer to lead evaluation of startup acquisition opportunities in the AI, cloud and security space. You will drive product evaluations, prepare and manage technical architecture discussions with target groups in Product and Engineering and provide roadmap suggestions for M&A and investments for Datadog. You will be a key partner to Datadog’s C-level leadership and highly visible at the most senior levels of Datadog. The role is reporting into the Senior Director of Product Strategy and falls within the Product organization.
