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 Research Engineer on our team, you will partner with Research Scientists to turn research ideas into working systems, building the data, tooling, and infrastructure that enable rapid iteration, trustworthy evaluation, and a smooth path from prototype to production. Building on our track record of AI-powered solutions (e.g., Bits AI , Bits Evolve , and our time series foundation model ), Datadog AI Research tackles high-risk, high-reward problems grounded in real-world challenges in cloud observability and security. We are focused on two research areas: World Models for Observability -- Training multimodal foundation models that learn the joint dynamics of distributed systems across metrics, traces, logs, topology, and events. These models power advanced forecasting, anomaly detection, root cause analysis, counterfactual simulation ("what if?"), and provide a learned planning backbone for our autonomous agents. Trained Agents for Observability -- Post-training models to operate autonomously across Datadog's domain. SRE incident response is our first target, with a clear path to code repair, security response, and infrastructure optimization. We build the simulation environments, RL training loops, and evaluation infrastructure needed to train agents that match or surpass frontier models at a fraction of the cost.
