Our engineering culture values pragmatism, honesty, and simplicity to solve hard problems the right way. The Opportunity: Datadog’s Senior Staff Engineers are technical leaders operating at the forefront of large-scale systems design, building the infrastructure that will support our next five years of growth and beyond. They do this in three major ways: As individual contributors, they bring world-class technical depth to build industry-leading systems in areas such as observability data platforms, distributed query engines, and real-time event streaming at global scale. As technical leaders, they apply broad architectural perspective and deep systems thinking to align design decisions across teams and domains. They work across complex, multi-team problem spaces to define long-term technical direction, drive large-scale initiatives forward, and ensure consistent execution. As engineering stewards, they play a key role in evolving our systems and engineering culture. They actively participate in Datadog’s senior technical community, bringing external insights and internal experience to elevate engineering standards and mentor the next generation of technical leaders. Examples of projects a Senior Staff Engineer may lead include designing and launching a new distributed data storage engine capable of handling hundreds of millions of records per second, building the real-time infrastructure behind a new observability product, or re-architecting a core service to support exponential growth in throughput and complexity.

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

Senior Product Manager - Search Datadog’s Search team helps users – both human and agents – find answers to their questions. Search is a critical function in Datadog, and touches many product surfaces: the query editors in product homepages and dashboards, search bars for finding relevant assets, the global cmd+k navigation search, and the MCP tools that our Bits AI agent uses to respond to natural language prompts. Search is a full-stack team: owning user-facing search components, backend search ranking systems, and machine learning models to produce recommendations. The Search team is relatively new, and still growing. We have recently built out agentic search tools, and we are looking for a leader to help us expand to ambitious orchestration systems that deliver accurate results, and proactive recommendations across both keyword and semantic search. Beyond this, you’ll have room to influence how Datadog thinks about Search as a strategic surface. What you’ll do: Define and deliver how Datadog's AI agents discover the right context and tools to answer natural-language questions accurately and at scale Stay on top of industry trends in UI and agentic search experiences and capabilities Collaborate with Applied AI teams to integrate ranking, personalization, and recommendation models that scale across both human and agentic users Define and monitor KPIs for search quality, adoption, and downstream impact on user productivity; use them to drive data-informed decision making Engage directly with customers and internal product teams to deeply understand search journeys across query editors, global navigation, and natural-language agent interfaces Who you are: You have experience with search, ranking, or recommendation systems You are familiar with or very interested in MCP servers and differences between human and agentic UX You have a sharp eye for design and strong opinions on the micro-interactions — keyboard navigation, autocomplete behavior, loading

We are a team of engineers that translate our real-world experience to help our user communities solve problems. With a focus on AI-accelerated workflows and next-generation developer ecosystems, you will have the opportunity to meet fast-moving teams where they are, helping them lay strong engineering foundations and broadening your impact to the developer community at large. This is a unique opportunity to use both your engineering depth and authentic storytelling skills to shape how the next wave of builders approach software health, scalability, and observability. What You’ll Do: Help developers hone their craft in an AI-accelerated world by exploring how AI coding assistants and rapid-prototyping tools change software workflows, and guiding teams on how to balance rapid prototyping with established engineering practices around performance, code health, and system reliability. Build in public by creating authentic, peer-to-peer technical content, sharing your engineering insights directly where modern developers collaborate in person and online. Drive a constructive, bidirectional feedback loop between fast-moving developer communities and our internal teams, translating real-world developer experiences into actionable product insights to shape our roadmap while advocating for user needs from the inside. Design and ship high-quality open-source boilerplate templates, quickstarts, and tools that make integrating observability seamless across AI native workflows, next-gen platforms (Vercel, Supabase, etc.), and cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure). Who You Are: A builder with approximately 10+ years of software engineering experience, ideally having shipped applications from scratch or worked within an early-stage startup environment where you've worn multiple hats. An AI-fluent developer who natively leverages AI coding assistants and rapid-prototyping tools as a core part of your regular, day-to-day development workflow.
